scooters Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 bumping this - if anyone is intersted, getting some interest from gumtree - better get round to pimping it up a bit!! R
scooters Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 forgot to mention - The service light is on - I have serviced the car myself and also had Clan Garage in Edinburgh do it - neither of us have the £100 tool required to reset a 1996 850 so I've just lived with it I asked the main stealer if they would be willing to reset it for me but they gave me a load of crap around only resetting it if they perform the service. I pointed out that last time they serviced a car for me they neglected to replace the fan belt and worse - neglected to tell me they hadn't and a week later it broke down stranding my wife and newborn on a nasty bit of the A1 and exactly what I thought of their 'kwality' control...anyway they wouldn't budge but did try and sell me a new car..
Shep Shepherd Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I think you'd be better off keeping it for the time being, as I reckon that you'd quickly regret selling it. I'm keeping TV2 for as long as possible for this reason
scooters Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 yeah - we'll see what happens - I am not in any real hurry to sell and would like an excuse to keep it...it is a ferocious machine afterall. bunged it on the Bay with the shitters reserve - if it goes it goes! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0607165262
oman5 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 what a beauty. right up my street but sadly wrong time for me
KruJoe Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hey Rich, so sorry again I couldn't have this in the end. It's good to see some pictures; the old girl has scrubbed up well, she looks way better than the mental image you gave me! And bang tidy compared to my 850 in Thailand!My fingers are well and truly crossed for you for a strong sale, and may all ebay numpties apply elsewhere. With a bit of luck, she'll reach bigger numbers than I could afford anyway.This is a mega clear-out you're having... is the Yugo going to take on the duties of all three you're moving on?! Now that's AS hardcore.I'm looking forward to the Yugo write-up. Weren't you driving it home the length of the country yesterday?
