Sold Suzuki wagon r. Sold.

[pandamonium]

Edit: Now a full on roffle/sale due to the fact my ex is saying she can't meet me halfway anymore and I now need to be doing 240 miles every weekend, just to spend time with my son. Not a sob-story, just the reason for wanting something different. Swap offers considered. 

 

 

 

Bad bits are:

Fuel filler pipe leaks while you are filling. TADTS.

Drivers mirror and console clock don't work.

Crease in nearside rear door / arch. 

 

 

Fixed: Number plates, wipers, Lambda sensor, brake pads. 

 

Just ticked over 68,000 miles, MOT until August 2019. AS valuation? 550ish? These go for around 600-700 usually, if not too battered. 

 

Here it is...

Keep it, and work out a way to have a toy that's a bit more bearable on long journeys

[pandamonium]

I guess so. But given my cash flow lately, a roffle win is the only way to do that. 

 

I guess this is one of those 'white goods' cars that even Autoshite folk don't like. 

[Ohdearme]

If I wasn’t getting something else next week that fills the skip on wheels criteria I’d have possibly swapped it for either of my barges.

 

Not much help, I know.

Thing with Roffle wins is that whilst the ticket is cheap, collections can be expensive.

[pandamonium]

 

 

Must get some more pictures... 

[yes oui si]

In for one. Hope you're okay

[pandamonium]

Close up of the creased bit.

 

It actually makes it faster and get better fuel economy *

 

[Ohdearme]

Ponders whether it would fit inside Galaxy, goes to watch Thunderbirds...

It's not yellow, though.

I would agree with this, but my last two deliveries have been cheaper than I could have done it for myself.

 

This site, et cetera et cetera.

Nor is my Galaxy green..mere details!

[pandamonium]

Had a little bit of interest on Facebook, but doubt this is going anywhere for a while. I'll replace the fuel filler pipe in January, once all this Xmas bollox is out of the way. It is a simple job.

 

It's actually quite a nippy little thing, when you wind it up, you just have to remember to slow down again for roundabouts, as the seats are very flat and you will end up in the passenger seat...

 

I'm looking for a pair of rear headrests of any description for this, will measure the distance between struts and just find something that fits. 

[purplebargeken]

The door mirrors look VERY BIG.

[spartacus]

I'm sworn off roffles but am feeling your 'ex' pain, so on that basis I'll have 6 and 59. Good luck pnmm.

Both are easy to remedy...

No, the car's just very smol.

[pandamonium]

Apparently someone is coming to view this tonight, watch this space... 

 

It will mean I'm car-less though, so a mad panic will ensue if it sells! 

[yes oui si]

Buy Bargekkin's e46 if it does.

[pandamonium]

Lack of MOT is the main issue there. 

 

Bloke came tonight, offered £450, I said no. Offered £575, I said £600, he said yes, and gave a £50 deposit.

 

Coming back Thursday. 

 

Crikey. Now need a car... 

[yes oui si]

[spartacus]

Result though, funny how that works sometimes, no interest for ages then the 'right' buyer comes along. Respect for holding out for the money too.

No Mot and I guess insurance would be crippling. :/

I guess the profit on purchase price is worth the work I've put into it.

[Kiltox]

Buy my Primera

[Dan_ZTT]

That fiesta that's on here for 500? looks alright and has long ticket

[spartacus]

Sure, you've earned every penny you get out of that car!

[pandamonium]

The bloke is coming tomorrow lunchtime to collect. 

 

So I will need to find a car, hopefully tomorrow evening.

 

There are hundreds of sub 500 quid cars in a 50 mile radius, so what to buy? 

 

I've seen a Citroen Saxo 1.5 diesel that could be quite economical... 

 

I need economy, longevity and hopefully comfort, but not too important.

[yes oui si]

get the saxo if it's decent - ask Matt about running it on veg*

[hpi_matrix]

Worth a cheeky bid?
