DoctorRetro Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Right, I've landed myslef in the proverbial, by bidding on something I really can't afford. So, let's do another multi-prize roffle eh? £6.50 tickets, 3 for £18 In the Red corner, we have the mighty rescued 1987 Mazda 323, complete with carb trouble and 11 months MOT. - NOW SOLD. In the Silver corner, we have the latest forum bike, the 1999 Nissan Almera 1.5, complete with scrapes and scratches and 4 months MOT And the newcomer, in the Gold corner is a lovely 1992 Rover 416 auto, with 6 months MOT. Any takers? Just to clarify, the winner gets to choose the prize from the three above cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeEP Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 416 only MOT'd until January, not that it should affect the value much. Unless seller is putting 12 months on before you collect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just running rough and vacuum advance doesn't appear to be doing its thing. I'd not want to depend on it for any distance though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I really like that 323, it looks a very cheery little thing. If its effectively a non-runner though, trying to shift it 160 miles (with no current A-frame capability) is probably beyond my current available commitment levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never buy a car at an opportune moment - I try to ensure the drive is full, I have lots of other things going on in my life, and then bid on an unseen crock. For fun *.

DoctorRetro Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just to add insult to injury, the landlord has pulled me up on the fact I'm using too many spaces. I only have 2 cars, so need to shift one fast! He's got a point, as we technically only have one allocated space per flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 So that's 15 claimed out of 59. Im not sure that's quite going to save the Rover situation. I'm also willing to take a hit on the Mazda to get it off my hands, so 250 quid takes it. ? Not in a good place right now, but that's just my shit I have to deal with.

BlankFrank Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Doctor, I'll have the Mazda on saturday for 250. Wingz has probably filled you in, or will do shortly. (essentially, i'm buying it via his delivery to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
