51 plate C180 estate - petrol, manual, 107k. Stanky is full of WIN!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

This has been dragging with the end tantalisingly in sight, so inspired by the worthy @SRi05 I'll pop it in here and see if anyone who doesn't visit 'Shite For Sale' is interested...

 

Quoting now...

 

After having recently gone through the fun* of selling a car on eBay, I thought I'd try my luck on here. I only bought this a couple of weeks ago on a whim, thinking it would be ideal for shooting down to France with the wife and the dog to visit the in-laws, but the wife has taken against it HARD due to the lack of air-con (she's not worried about us - it's the dog!). So it has to go.

Bad bits first, as is AS tradition. The A/C really is gone. No amount of re-gassing will fix this! A few patches of rust here and there - none look bad enough for welding. A bit of rust converter and bondo and job jobbed was my plan. Laquer is starting to peel in a few places. The remote central locking doesn't always unlock the passenger side door (although it does always seem to lock it, which is odd). Tailgate has a decent dent in it. Nothing to do with me, it came free with the car. Tailgate still works fine, though.

Good bits. Maybe it has been too long since I was last in a rear-wheel drive, but it feels to me like it pulls away from the line very nicely. The six-speed box feels nice and precise, and lets you trundle along at 70mph with the engine only doing about two and a half thousand revs (not had it long enough to really measure fuel efficiency). MOT until Feb and taxed to get you home.

Located in Ipswich. I was thinking £9 per ticket, or two for £16, three for £21. Any takers?

 

PRICE DROP !!!!

£8 for one, £14 for two, £19 for three. Buy Buy Buy!!!!

I've sworn off roffles. 

I don't need another car. 

I like my current car. 

I have no space. 

I'll get killed if I win.

As the owner of a magnificent* 305 van, which is all anyone needs, I have

absolutely no earthly, or non earthly, reason to have a Merc estate.

Give me a third ticket please. Got 2 already (1 for me 1 for @Stanky). Stanky can have my 3rd. I owe him for some Saab bits & as have stated before, he's a thoroughly decent chap.

It is an undisputed FACT* that the last few numbers to go are way more likely to win. All those people who’ve grabbed numbers already have just done their money I tell you!

So only 3, 6, 9, 11, 21 or 30 to choose from. You know what to do!!!

9-11-31  for me please let's got this car gone and if I win the wife and/or the daughter will kill me

Getting there! Come one, 3 more to go... 

I need to win this so I can justify keeping and fixing the Rover!
