Bit weird that they wouldn't just put it in for a test as if it passes they could ask significantly more for it? But it's not been in and failed so who knows.

Did think that but most of their 168 car stock is 20k+ with some going over 250k. Probably just CBA especially with difficult to get MOT slots. Think I'd prefer one with an MOT (even if short) as less hassle and expense moving it. History looks clean enough though. I'd like an auto but harder to find.

Iirc quattro equipped cars are in the £700 odd tax bracket?

1965 Ford Zephyr 4 Mk3 £850 on Facebook, in Carmarthen, doesn't look bad for that price.

Been standing for several years, its had a lot of work done by different people,  due to the standing will need more work.  It has a recorded cat C at some point. Passenger front wing fibre glass. Car will need front to rear check and or repair plus full respray. Interior fair  some reassembly and 1 door card needed. Engine turns freely.

My S3 is 217g/km, can't see a DSG being much higher. Maybe just 3.2 v6s are?

This is local to me. Reckon it's a bit over priced considering it has no MOT? Looks tidyish otherwise. Not sure I cba trying to get an MOT though - my local favourite place is 3 to 4 weeks wait at the moment.

Not that I need another car but after selling my Boxster, I have a free insurance policy that will auto cancel within 7 days otherwise... [/man-maths]

I'd check what the tax is on that before you commit to anything, but yeah no MOT always sets alarm bells off for me, just put it through one for gods sake.

£240 p/a according to Autotrader. I think these are a later engine than the Golf Mk5 GTI. From memory at this age they went to all chains from a cambelt+chain that is on the earlier one. Which, being German, isn't necessarily the best of things. 

Tbh I think I'll give it a miss. Bit too expensive to take a gamble on when you can reasonably easily get the pre-facelift 2.0T with an MOT for a few hundred quid more.

yeah the later engines are chain only, earlier are belt and chain, mines belt and chain (between cams) being an early car with higher compression.

Yeah I think it must be the 3.2 that are the mega tax. Probably because you can drive a 2.0TFSI off boost for regulatory testing and magically get the CO2 figure down.

To celebrate page 7,000, here's an apparently super-rare version of the C5, in case any Citroen lickers are interested. Not cheap for a 12-year-old car though.

£8k... I mean rare doesn’t always equate to valuable. It’s a car few people will have heard of let alone want, it’s also at the age that it’s one impossible to resolve fuck up from the scrapyard.

It’s not going to go for £2k, MOT history isn’t anything to shout about, had a bit of welding last year on sills. It’s just a very average one at best tbh. 

ULEZ beater though.

It’s still a very very average one at best that sounds tarted up to me. Plus is the average person in a ULEZ going to be welding the bugger up every year or swapping trailing arms.

That's been for sale for ages, he's never going to move it at that money.  There was a V6 saloon on there a couple of months back for £3K and even that took a long time to shift.

I thought Brightwells sold decent tackle, looks like 80% of the last few posts from there are just end of life old bangers.
