I see Wuvvum is 'aving a punt on the Senny. Nice cars, the 2.5i is quite slow and the manual box "agricultural" in the Massey-Ferguson sense, make sure the head gasket is not borked and he has done that strut welding properly - although that "Senator30e" fella seems to know his stuff. Cushy velour though.

Aye, gearboxes are not the greatest, but I've had a later Senator with a 2.5 and an autobox and that was just a little too slow. Besides, who's to say it has to stay as a 2.5? I'm sure a 24 valve 3 litre would slot in fairly easily, and taht would make for quite an entertaining beast. I doubt I'll win it though - I can't afford to bid too much at the moment as I'm having to keep the money for the R6 to one side...

Dunno. I snagged mine with 3 months T&T (buggered clutch on the downside) for £102.

I drive past this old thing on a fairly regular basis as it lives on the route between home and garage. It does have quite a few dings and dents but overall it looks reasonably solid. It runs out of tax tomorrow night and is parked on the pavement so the seller will probably want it out of the way quite quick - could be useful for negotiating on the price. I think it's quite well-priced for a Chevette - I reckon they're going to go up in value vaery quickly in the near future, what with being small, light, RWD and fairly easy to fit a 2-litre XE into.

Maybe you could hook him up with Otto and Iggy Pop from "Goldies-Boutique".

Thats the first manual gearbox one of those Accords i've seen on the bay I think! They are all fuggin Autos.That one looks grotty but remarkably sound, cant really see any galloping rot. Sadly I am not equipped for spraying, which is what that needs I reckon, or I would already be on it with the DA sander.

The one in Galashiels is FUBAR'd I think Dave. Interesting how the bloke is offering the whole car, but then in his eBay shop he is also selling all the parts separately :roll:

Welding's not a huge issue to me as i know a couple of blokes who will put a complete arse in a car for a couple of hundred quid at most. No way is it worth 5 though... itd need to be more in the 100 quid range to be worthwhile!

He's pretty keen that Chrysler 180 fella - £60 for a door mirror and £200 for an interior??

Yeah he must have been drinking. Pretty limited market to sell parts to as well! Not like there's thousands of 180 owners clamouring for bits...

Thats a real shame as I suspect you could easily predict what will happen here... he will sell one or two trivial but very hard-to-find parts off it to folk who need them enough to pay those sort of prices, then he will have an incomplete car which will end up getting baled. I was very tempted to bid when it was on a fortnight ago (and sold to our man for 250) but £500 is lunacy.

Good point, well made.At the price I'd want a full ticket I guess. Even better if it was an estate (that's what I could really do with).
