Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 TBH - I'd only be able to take it on if tame mech was willing to get 'er done and MoT'd - I'll come get it once done. Obviously paying up front!Best of luck with the gumtree lot fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpjitservices Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 These things can pull down a house, and I have pulled a range rover out of a ditch with one - a 2.7Turbo nonetheless. Machines! Flat4 and Dave_Q 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 ....before deciding that life is too short and taking the £280 from removemycar.If it comes to this, I'll have it. Cant justify it. Don't need it, but worth saving at that money. loserone and Flat4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-T Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'd be amazed if you can't get £500 for this, surely the Eastern Europeans will be all over it (for clarity, no negative connotation intended there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks Sporty but yeah, I reckon/hope one of my gumtree buyers will come through. I've put #1 off till tomorrow while I spent the evening tonight turning the house upside down looking for the V5, standard procedure for me is that. Of the 4 interested from their names I would guess at 2 x Easties and 2 x native Bradfordian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Brace yourselves for unexpectedness. Buyer number 1 has been round, first question will you take less? Nay, says I. Starts it up and puts the suspension in high, tries to make out there is something wrong with it and says it's not for him. Presumably he never had £500, and as per the Gumtree rules of engagement his budget was £200 plus a few litres of the kerosene his recovery truck seemed to be running on. Have messaged all other interested parties off gumtree, but also open to derisory offers from shiters, particularly ones who understand numbers and have access to 3 figure sums of money.

bangernomics Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I reckon this is a steal if your tame mechanic definitely will do the clutch and a new dmf for £500 all in I’d bid a derisory £300 for it. Reckon it would then stand me at £1k with the other bits done and make a sorted car for. Old out yer and Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm not quite there yet but will bear it in mind. If you wanted the clutch and DMF doing it would be more like £600, I was quoted £180 labour, clutch kit £120-140 but the DMF is about £275. Cheaper options may be available, this was a few mins googling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
