Sold Sold outright, 2007 Tacuma, Lake District

[eddyramrod]

The Motability car comes on Tuesday so I thought it was time to open this up.  So, what are you getting for your hard-earned?

 

2007 (57) Chevrolet Tacuma CDX+, 2.0 petrol auto.

Mot July

Taxed as Disabled

Bought it in 2013 (see my Car Trek thread here http://autoshite.com/topic/13740-car-trek/page-2) and really, it's done nothing to write about since then.  It's just been a jolly good car.  Oh the two front tyres were new a few weeks ago.  Got a matching full-size spare, at vast expense, but I'll give you the spacesaver as well, obvs.

 

Bad points

Minor scuffs here and there, but seriously, very minor

Tailgate latch is a bit sticky, in that when you open it, the handle doesn't return so you need to do it manually.  Bit of WD would probably solve that, but I've just been living with it

Intermittent wipe doesn't work.  The wipers may or may not move up the screen a bit, but are very unlikely to come down.  Put it on constant speed and they're fine, although self-park is a bit haphazard.

 

And really... that's it.  It's a nice car to do long-distance in, we've done several trips of 400 miles each way.  It isn't the most economical but it's acceptable.

 

Aftermarket reversing sensors fitted, and working.

 

Autoshite sticker in rear window!  £1.50 saved already.

Is that in addition to the four numbers you already specified in the other thread?

Just the four then please.

[yes oui si]

Four, ta.

[Cavcraft]

Good heavens, that's effing horrible. Four randoms, please.

[gadgetgricey]

#44 & #47 if you could please

[gadgetgricey]

Jesus, what have I done. Just looked at the tax rate

[yes oui si]

Jesus, what have I done. Just looked at the tax rate

Irrelevant when the car costs a tenner.

[95 quid Peugeot]

Shocking. Therefore 2 ransoms please.

BTW where is it

[pandamonium]

I love that!

[pandamonium]

Jesus, what have I done. Just looked at the tax rate

It was this that killed these off as a viable family car. I had a 2001 model, and although it was just a Cavalier in a fat suit it was perfectly acceptable transport, ok to drive too.

 

One random for me.

As in Cavalier/Vectra suspension underneath...?

 

Hello mama.

Exactly!

Oop norf.  Sorry, should have mentioned that.  Bottom-left corner of the Lake District.

[eddyramrod]

Oh and btw, I think it might be more Astra than Cavalier, but that's neither here nor there really.

[SRi05]

3 randoms please

[yes oui si]

Basically next door on the rofflemap. This pleases me.

[eddyramrod]

I think I've got everyone so far...

[egg]

Another one for Cavcraft from me ta.

 

Deserves one for the annual ebay tat lols!

[purplebargeken]

ULEZ happy too.

 

No!

[eddyramrod]

Tell you what Ken, I think you'd love this.

 

Not like I'm trying to get rid of it or anything, oh no....

[purplebargeken]

Hahahaha. Nice try. 

[purplebargeken]

Am sure it would do someone a nice turn, practical and a decent size too. 

[eddyramrod]

Thank you.  I think that's a very fair assessment.  Just for example, it's tall enough inside to stand a wheelchair upright, and you can still use two of the three back seats!

[yes oui si]

Tbh, the only offputting thing about it is the 30mpg of the 2.0 auto, other than that they just soldier on - I've known a few people who have owned them before and have all reported them to be pretty perfect white goods motoring.

[purplebargeken]

Am sure it could be better than that. That's what I get from the bloody i10.

[prepace]

16 & 46 please........ta.

[purplebargeken]

Number 12 please as it's the polite thing to do - 'cos AS.

[eddyramrod]

Good man Ken
