For Sale For sale: Citroen Xsara enterprise van, Sold

[dean36014]

It's time to let it go, been a faithful companion. It's on 278k now, 2.0 hdi diesel. Just had a cambelt, recent starter motor, mot until April. It drives absolutely fine, doesn't burn oil or jump out of gear. It's a standard estate inside with a removable steel load deck where back seats were. Faint wiff of diesel inside as I spilt some, cleaned it many times and it's definitely fading. Bodywork is in really good condition, no lawyer peel or dents. Comes up lovely with a wash. Front bumper has some splits that have been cable tied but other than that it's very tidy inside and out. Good tyres and a massive history file. Would like 400 for it, and it's in Coventry.

Or sensible offers

[artdjones]

What is lawyer peel?Like lacquer peel but slimy?

[Fumbler]

It's his long forgotten twin brother who went bad.

[dean36014]

Bloody autospell, laquer peel! It has none whatsoever. No interest in this fine stead. Offer me 350 and it's yours. Hold out yer hand son!

Bump

First gumtree offer in,  280, nothing else, lets see if any more appear

[The Moog]

Thats gumtrees fault. If you put an offer in they just send a number .. no cover message saying an offer has been made etc. 

[dean36014]

Ah i see, wasn't a bad offer but no doubt they'd try and chip you down more if the actually viewed it.

[Aston Martin]

Essentially 6 months free motoring.... How is it still avail?

[dean36014]

It's a shame, its been a great van, but I've six vehicles and one needs to go unfortunately. i'd go anywhere in it, and I've been all over the country in it.

[dean36014]

Alledgedly sold on sphock and being collected tomorrow

[dean36014]

And a no show. I've not sold a car for years and didn't realise how much hassle it is. No one got a cheap van?

[bub2006]

If you still have it after Christmas I'll have it! Hopefully you will sell it soon on a serious note. I've seen it and it's tidy.

[dean36014]

I must admit I'm gobsmacked it hasn't sold. It's probably one of the best condition ones left. It's the miles that puts people off and van insurance. If it doesn't sell I might just have to keep it and put some nice alloys on it.

[Kiltox]

This thing’s fucking ace. If I still had trade insurance I’d be all over it.

 

Two vans does not a happy insurance bill make.

[Matty]

Seeing as it's essentially an estate can't it be insured as one instead? Or is it marked as van on the v5?

It’ll be a van because it’s a van for tax reasons. Whole point in it historically will be for BIK for companies (or Irish car tax)

[dean36014]

Van tax too so around 250 a year for road tax. Getting loads of 150 offers on gumtree etc, it's fucked mate at those miles etc etc. Fuck off seems to be working on them

It would be that on tax because of engine size anyway surely?

 

Likes for fucking off the dickheads.

[dean36014]

It's a hdi, so if a car it would be around 140 a year I think. It's 2004 so emmision based. It's a euro 4 engine.

Ah right. If it was pre 2002 it would be the same kind of cash on engine size though. Shouldn’t be a deal breaker for anyone apart from the most feckless.

 

My 2016 65 van costs the same to tax.

[dean36014]

Asks best price, then offers a 100 below that as he lives 30 miles away. I suggested he saved more money up or finds something local! Its getting quite entertaining now. Must remember next time I sell a car to get a burner sim card!

[dean36014]

And it's sold. Trader came out and looked at it and bought it for his mate to use as a handy man's van. Shame it will get dirtied up but 350 in the bank!
