Daewoo Matiz Xtra Cool. MOT FAILED - Scrapped

[pandamonium]

I've been offered a 2005 Matiz so naturally in spite of having 2 cars already, I said yes. It's going to need a few bits done for the MOT, so it's a bit of a gamble. Wish me luck!

Pics later

Please let it be that Copper colour (but don't think they did it that late)

 

Good luck sir.

[pandamonium]

Yellow apparently. (I haven't seen it yet) 

[pandamonium]

Flat tyres and battery. Not a good start. 

 

[pandamonium]

Fail. Couldn't even bump start it as battery was so dead. Coming back tomorrow with a battery. 

[NorthernMonkey]

This has got to be the Autoshite equivalent of self-flagellation.

 

Seriously, why are you doing this to yourself, man? You deserve better...

[mrbenn]

Brilliant

 

That’s a rather late Daewoo badged example, thought they were all Chevrolet by then.

[spartacus]

Don't let it roll forward into that bollard, that would fatally injure all occupants.

It is very shite, you'd struggle to do worse/better*.

*Delete as appropriate.

[The Moog]

That looks like winning even standing still !

[oldcars]

Asda trims, tidemark, this has all the signs of winning.

[pandamonium]

Yep, it's had sills. It only has 2 wheel trims too. Apparently it started this morning, so we are good to go tonight...

[Supernaut]

 

That looks spectacularly grim. Well done!

[pandamonium]

Made  it home, no trouble. Took ages as stuck in traffic. Runs OK, little blow from exhaust and airbag light on...

What a happy little face with it's fourteen different shades of gold.  Can't complain for free.

[Kiltox]

Better than walking

 

Just

 

If it’s raining

 

Heavily

[spartacus]

I feel like I'm 'coming out' here, but I've never even been in one of these, let alone driven one, just how bad are they. It looks like it should be a good care to chuck about and presumably economical?

[Marm Toastsmith]

I like it.

Actually quite good fun to bomb about in when you paid £30 for it in part exchange but the build quality is absolutely terrible of absolutely everything.

[bramz7]

No experience of the Daewoo ones but my exs mum had a Chevrolet Matiz as a first car and it's the only car I've ever been in where the headrest supports have been going rusty. 

[bolognasal spray]

Has that look about it - as though it were hewn from a solid block of pure win.

[nigel bickle]

I like it.

 

Well done

[mrbenn]

Nice. The transport of a true autoshiter.

[busmansholiday]

Love the way you've pretended it's a posh Aldi by having the reg plate in the windscreen.

[pandamonium]

It's not that bad really. It's very narrow though, and doesn't handle well. Engine is perky enough.

[pandamonium]

I removed the plate just in case of ANPR on the way back. Will screw it back on soon. 

[Aston Martin]

That ain't yellow, Romanian gold maybe.

[eddyramrod]

That's grim.  Well done!

[barefoot]

I was given a lift in an 04 example belonging to the woman up the road, she's had it from new. I experienced disappoint. 

[Squire_Dawson]

These must be the most neglected cars going. Did anyone after the first owner bother to service them? Bizarre looking little cars.
