I am probably really out of touch with 'modern classic' prices, but £11k for this non-running heap sounds absolutely ludicrous

Seller says "Please genuine interest only, no dreamers with 8k because 8k won’t buy it."

I'd have thought £8k was a rip-off tbh

Particularly when you can buy this minter in a much nicer colour for £10k...

Still, I've learned today that Mk1 Sciroccos only have a single wiper, which is cool

 

It would be interesting to ask the seller why they think their car is worth so much more than the going rate. But given the description it sounds like your only answer would be in expletives splattered with mouth foam

The pictures really capture the feeling of being stranded with a dead car. Well done!

That could well go in the below thread:

 

"It's broken, but I don't know what's wrong. I'm not a mechanic. NO I SAID I'M NOT A MECHANIC. Don't ask me. I don't know. I'm putting a lot of effort into making the point that I don't know even though I actually know it's totally fucked."

Buy with confidence.

It always enhances the sale when you leave the tow rope attached :)

Slightly sad to see this in a yard. Used to be a local feature near me, on a big wide quiet road with free parking which was something of a magnet for camper vans as they could be left undisturbed for long periods. Some were live-in vans, others just campers belonging to Brightonians who needed somewhere to park them. Sadly some of the residents of this (very posh) street took offence to this and there was an organised, targeted attack of vandalism against them - mostly some pretty bad graffiti ('MOVE YOUR FUCKING VAN' in huge letters down the side of one). That Blitz actually got off quite lightly - I can only assume that 'SLF' stands for 'Surrenden Liberation Front' which should demonstrate that this was the work of upper-middle class older people undertaking an act of class war against people below their social standing rather than a bunch of local bored kids.

Anyway, the council has now put in some totally bizarre parking regulations (presumably after much campaigning by residents) which means its still free to park there, except for a two-hour window in the middle of the day, when it's resident permit parking only. Which seems like a fantastically insidious way of 'moving on' live-in vans. All very depressing NIMBYism which seems to be prevalent in my supposedly liberal and accepting city.

"I am not a mechanic and definitely no expert on rotary engines"

The triangle is broken.

It's also already sold :( Was it a diesel or petrol?

Probably not a surprise at that price.  It was a petrol.

I do not know if this should be in the bargains thread  or here.

1994 Citroen Xantia in the USA. Was a Spanish car. It has been tarted up. The seller could not hide the damage to the plastic trim. All for $4,766(at the moment).

As a price comparison here is what is on offer here in Spain at the moment.

https://www.milanuncios.com/coches-de-segunda-mano/?demanda=n&marca=11&modelo=11&combustible=gasolina&anod=-2&orden=relevance&fromSearch=1

Several look rather good, This one because it seems a higher trim level and low KM

None of the cars, as far as I can see have activa suspension.
