Stanky Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Mutha_Stanky has taken it upon herself to get a new car, she's been offered £100 trade in on her 2001 Mk1 Skoda Octavia 1.6 pez hatchback. ~150k miles, recent cambelt, good tyres, MOT to March 2018, white, clean MOT history Reg is AY51 KHG if you wanted to check it. Its scheduled to be carted away on thursday morning (the 12th) - I have only just learned of this. Does anyone want it? You need to be really quick and come with readies in your grubby mitts. I suspect its going stright for frag which is a massive shame as its not a bad car, just long in the tooth. Run til the MOT is up and put it in for a new test, I don't know anything thats wrong with it, so could well pass another. give away cheap. Located near Stowmarket, Suffolk.
Ghosty Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 £100 isn't bad for basically a Mk4 Golf! Only thing I'd be wondering about at that mileage would be the gearbox.
Stanky Posted July 10, 2017 Author Posted July 10, 2017 Agreed, though if it was going to go (like all the cost-cutting rivetted one seem to) I suspect it would have exploded by now. This is no guarantee, but for £100 you basically can't lose money.
Six-cylinder Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 The only thing slowing in me down is the 96 miles and I have something planned every day this week. When I bought my C15 van somebody collected he for me, used it for a month then I collected it. I would pay for the car, insure it for myself so somebody could drive it on thier third party and I would tax it, any offers?
Six-cylinder Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I would like this it is just how to get it quickly.
Six-cylinder Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I have spoken to Mrs 6C and she says she can help me collect it Wednesday evening. They_all_do_that_sir, D Spares & Tyres, The Moog and 4 others 7

phil_lihp Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I was very close to messaging Stanky about this, even though it'd be a logistical pain and I don't really need it right now, bargain of the century!
Stanky Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Provisionally sold, updates to follow KruJoe and UltraWomble 2
wuvvum Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 If anything goes tits up, I should be able to assist - I'm half an hour from Stowmarket on the train so could either buy it myself or pick it up for someone else and store it for a few days.
trigger Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I've only just spotted this! If it still had insurance i would have had it and found it a home.
trigger Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 My neighbour is looking for a cheap car to have has a first car too as she's recently past her test
Stanky Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Thanks for all the interest everyone, I understand the Skoda has been sold to a gentleman from this very parish who can choose to make himself known in due course. I hope he got home OK in it and thankyou for saving it from being cubed for now. Its not a bad car, just worthless on paper to a main dealer. Brodders 1
