For Sale Daewoo Leganza. 46K miles. Enfield. Scrap Money. Deceased Estate.

[Brodders]

Sounds promising. Good luck to all who may be involved.

[Cavcraft]

Good luck, Eddie. After the bad news about the Rover you deserve a break, so hope it pans out for you.

[Alan_Green]

Cool. This is going well.  I'll call them tomorrow (Saturday) and "make a plan". I don't mind fronting things (tax/ins/MOT). Help to get it running in the first place would be great.  Pity they parked it nose first. Pity I ebayed that Sealey jump pack. Suppose we'll just have to push it out. Hope it's not seized up. 

[Tetleysmooth]

This is all good news.

Well done Eddy.

[purplebargeken]

I have a jump pack ready for use.

[purplebargeken]

Seriously happy to get involved and it would be ace to meet other shitters too. Let me know when....

[beko1987]

Sweet!

[oldcars]

Is near to me so can help in general fettling, wiping the windows over. Bacon sandwiches.

Glass cleaner is better than wiping the windows with bacon   

[Guest Hooli]

Of course they parked it nose in, haven't you seen the grill?

 

It needs saving just for that.

[Spottedlaurel]

Good luck to all concerned. This is the sort of thing that will disappear completely before we know it. I've always quite liked the look of them.

 

Cartell says this one is a CDX, which gains traction control, climate control, speed sensitive PAS, wood trim and alloy wheels over the lesser SX (although I wonder if this one is a later, subtly updated model as the wheels don't match any of the photos I have). Apparently there was also a CDX-E which had leather, 10-disc CD changer and sat-nav.

 

My 2003 Parker's Guide says "Upper medium saloon with lots of equipment for the money. Roomy, comfortable, competent but no threat to class leaders such as Mondeo and Passat. Thirstier than most rivals. Check for: No serious faults reported. Three-year warranty plus servicing means no worries with newer cars."

 

I fear the comfort of a warranty might not apply here.....

 

I found this one for sale at £325 back in 2012:

It apparently suffered with overheating (HGF?). It'd done about 80k and the MoT site doesn't reveal anything particularly significant or of concern to this model in general, although there was an advisory for an oil leak four years on the trot. Never got put in for another MoT sadly and a CoD has since been issued.

[Tetleysmooth]

They seem to be quite rare.

I only found one on ebay, and one on car and classic.

They remind me of the XG30

[Bucketeer]

The Leganza pic of Spottedlaurel's proves that it is fate that you should have one Eddy.

 

[beko1987]

Is this still a go-er?

[Alan_Green]

Not sure. They're not replying. Stand by...

[beko1987]

Fair enough.

 

I just found myself imagining I was driving it on the way home tonight. Still not quite worked out where that daydream came from...

[Lankytim]

How can you tell if a COD has been issued?

[Spottedlaurel]

How can you tell if a COD has been issued?

 

It doesn't come up on the DVLA tax check site, but it still does on the MoT site and the likes of Cartell.

[wuvvum]

I passed one of these on the way in to work yesterday morning.  Giffer-driven natch.

[dollywobbler]

Any news on this one? I'm an interested spectator.

[purplebargeken]

Still waiting to hear from the rellies I believe. Has gone a bit quiet.
