Rubbish for sale.

[Cavcraft]

Ok, I won't be holding my breath waiting for scores of you to offer a home for this but here goes anyhow:

 

1999 Hyundai Acc(id)ent 1.3 (1341cc I think) SI five door hatchback.

 

MOT'd December, electric front windows, CD player, erm sunroof 'etc'. Good tyres, starts first crack and drives as well as it could do. Seems pretty mega on fuel and you aren't going to have to worry about it being hit by wayward shopping trollies or old giffers etc. 74,000 odd miles.

 

Bad bits:

 

It's filthy, and I mean disgustingly dirty but I will endeavour to clean it inside and out afore she leaves these shores.

Bodywork has issues (see pictures in News 24 thread) but if I get time I'll see if I can't at least slap some fibreglass and filler over the worse of it.

No tax but can tax at your expense.

It's not going to win you any fit birds when you roll up in the carpark of the Hammer & Chainsaw arms. However it should easily tide you over until the test expires and might even go through the next one with little effort.

 

Available on an Autoshite special 'buy now, regret later' incredible bargain inter-galactic super price of £200. You could run it round 'til the test went, weigh it in and it wouldn't owe you a penny. It's in sunny, wonderful West Cheshire close to the motorways and all that jazz. No stunning Holyoakes birds are offered or implied with the car, nor is any form of warranty.

 

Save up your methadone money and drive it round your estate in absolutely no style whatsoever.

74k you say...GR9 4 mouthbreather who will see it exploding in a month when the ol' belt goes and come round to abuse you because he claims to just "need a car because I am on benifits innit and my mom is disabled and I have six siblings with a bad back (one back between the six of them ) ". If you don't get any offers from shitists, I'd scrap it.

[Cavcraft]

It's looking like that might happen as it goes. Waste of a useable car like but that's the luck of the draw.

I'd have fragged it straight off mate, for it is epically dismal. 10/10 for 'trying to do the right thing' however.

[Cavcraft]

Cheers Jon, I just hate seeing useable chod going to waste and recall all the times I've been desperate for some old shit to tide me over. I'll weigh up (fnarr, fnarr) the possibilities of cutting the cat off then lobbing the rest over the bridge compared to just flogging it 'as is' to a scrapyard.

[tonedepear]

That's thoroughly depressing isn't it. If I had someone offering me £500 for the Impian tomorrow, I'd be all over this cos I like it and it's red. Trouble is it's unlikely to be any more economical, and more likely to explode in a heap of cambelt-throwing badness, so even I'm not stupid enough. (Belt interval is 30k on these I think?)

 

I can quite easily see myself being in the same position with the Impian when I do come to sell it anyway. If no shitists can be tempted it'll sit at £1 with no reserve for 7 days on ebay with nothing more than a few "GIVE YOU £150 CASH TODAY MATE INNIT" emails to show for it.

 

Good luck with it though. Can you not just run it yourself for a few months until one of us has the space and money? If I wasn't already oversubscribed (I have someone else's Mk2 golf in bits in the garage ) and into some future £££s on the herald I could probably scrape 200 beans together.

[tonedepear]

Fuck me what a thoroughly dismal post with nothing really to offer. Sorry.

[trigger]

I wouldn't say it was that bad, Has it got much rent left in the window?.

 

Down here I'd expect that to have sold quickly to someone to use as a cheap banger to get to and from London in for a while for work, Have you tried the mouth breathers on gumtree?.

[binhoker668]

Still for sale?

I think I might have a buyer for you. Me mate Will needs a runaround for getting out to his woods (he's a gardener with a bit of land) and such things - no real distance, and this may well tide him over since his Scrote bit the dust.

Shit cheap insurance I'm guessing too....

What's your postcode mate so I can see what sort of distance you are from us?

Cheers

[retrogeezer]

Billy is in Chester Chris...

[Cavcraft]

Thanks Mr Geezer.

 

Tone, it's no problem chief. I'd actually tax it and use it as a spare car but I've got two already and can use my son's so it'd just sit there wasting rent money.

 

Trigernometry: No rent I'm afraid otherwise it'd have gone by now, though probably to some dicksplash who wouldn't have been insured.

 

Mr Hoker: pm forthcoming sir. Insurance should be cheap though no idea what group it's in. I can tax (at buyer's expense) if wanted, it's about £68 or something for 6 months I think. The only thing I'd say (with RSETPCET) is that I'd want the tax money up front as I'm on my arse again. Happy to accompany to the Post Office though so it can be seen and tried before anyone buys it.

 

Oh, if anyone miles away is interested please feel free to ask anyone you like who lives nearer to come and inspect it on your behalf and report back to you in private as I have nothing to hide.

 

Ps: CD player works but unable to find any radio stations so either the radio side of it is knackered or it needs the adaptor bit on the back. As a big bonus I'm prepared to let the buyer choose from my wonderful* CD collection and pick out one to take home with them. It'll give you something to listen to when you wait for the RAC man to rescue you 200 yards from my house and tow you home

[tonedepear]

Magic parkers book of knowledge says it's insurance group 12 fwiw, which is plainly bollocks.

 

Autotrader says 7.

Some numbers to perv over, anyway.

[Pete-M]

A mechanic I've known for years fell out with me when my mate went to see "A car for sale" and asked me to tag along.

 

I did, and thought it was a bit funny when he directed me to the mechanics street. It was, of course, his car for sale.

 

It was a High'n'Dry Accident Mk1 Coupé on a V reg. 50k on the clock, maroon, with every panel dented or scraped which hadn't moved for the best part of 18 months, when the tax expired.

 

I'm doing my best to stifle a giggle and walking around it with mechanic mate looking at me all suspiciously. It sounded fine, both bits worked, and he said he'd put 12 months MOT on it.

 

Then he dropped the bomb.

 

"£500 is cheap for this", he said. So I asked him how much he was asking for it as it didn't look like £500 to me, or anywhere near. He pointed out that I'm well known for calling them 'Accidents' and that I don't like them. My mate offered him £450 for it. Which stunned me, but I let him continue as it's his choice. Mechanic 'mate' then threw a major wobbly and hasn't spoken to me since.

 

£450 was £500 more than I'd have paid for it, but if someone offers you £450 for it you bite their hand off... not bite your mates head off!

 

Billys, at £200 is a well priced little runabout.

Looks deceptively tidy!

From another website:

 

'What is the least you would take for the car as i live in stratford upon avon'

 

And here's the reply I've just sent him:

 

'What's the most you'd pay as I live in Chester?'

 

Honest to fucking God, why on earth would I a) care or give a discount because someone lives miles away?

[RoadworkUK]

'What is the least you would take for the car as i live in stratford upon avon'

 

It might be William Shakespeare. He should be fucking loaded anyway.

[Station]

Haha, I almost anticipate that old one, it just doesn't make an ounce of sense. You should say you're only selling to people within a 2 metre radius of your house.

Sounds like a Hyun-die Accident whose timing belt is about to blow up would be right up the street of someone who has been frustrated enough to wonder "to be or not to be?"

[Cavcraft]

Haha, I almost anticipate that old one, it just doesn't make an ounce of sense. You should say you're only selling to people within a 2 metre radius of your house.

 

 

Given this person's theory perhaps I ought to log onto eBay.com, find a nice '60's Chevy and demand a discount because I live a few thousand miles away?

[scaryoldcortina]

Heh, that's a good idea

[Angrydicky]

You know what, I'd quite like to save this just because anyone with an ounce of sense would have sent it to the scrapyard straightaway, I mean look at those rear arches!

 

Good for you trying to give it another chance instead of sending it straight over the bridge anyway.

[Station]

Without sounding like the 'Mind, Body and Spirit' section in Waterstones, but I think the, ahem, 'freedom' a car offers (esp with tax and test left) is worth more than the 150 quid someone would get for fragging it!

How filthy is the interior? I found all this hair and detritus in one of mine, it's rank what people are happy to drive in!

 

[Cavcraft]

It's pretty bad BUT I'll clean it out afore it goes and it'll be the usual high standard too.

[Father Ted]

You know Billy, if that was a Fronterra Sport I'd have it off you like a shot. But its not, so I wont.

 

I had one the other ear when I eBayed the first K11 - someone dragged up the old MOT history and found it had a fail for rust needing welding about 4 years back and said "with this in mind I will offer you £100" to whit I replied for him to go forth and multiply with himself as a) the welding was done very well indeed and the car had 8 months MOT and rent in the window.

 

Funny how some peoples minds work. I made an offer on a seat for the C8, its in Tenby which is a day out and a tank of fuel for me but i still offered a fair price for the seat.

[Cavcraft]

{Note to self, don't buy another of these}

 

Last chance saloon (arf arf) for this as someone supposedly coming for it today but surprise surprise no contact from him. First yard I called offered me £160 so I think I'll take the CD player out, put a shit battery on it and let it go.

Y'know Billy, this is probably the most sensible post you've ever made.

[Cavcraft]

As if to counter that very remark, here's some 'take leave of all senses' eBay nonsense....

How soon before it ends in fail?

 

*Update: Just been offered a swap for it on another forum. For a wedding dress I shit you not.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Wow, i'd love to see a pic of the person who'd swap their wedding dress for a shitbox Hyundai Accent

To me, that is the very essence of miserly but miserable motoring. Ye Gads.

 

It's as if they've specially engineered any sign of flair out of the thing, yet at the same time managed to miss out most of the important UK speed limits out of the revenue counter whilst they were at it.

 

If it somehow fails to sell - although I can't see how that might happen with no reserve on it - then I think you need to make a documentary style video with your newfangled camera skillz.

 

 

"Hi, I'm Sheriff John Bunnell. In the next 30mins you will witness as this Korean cartoon car meets its end in one final fender bender. Violence......it can happen to us, at any time, at any place. This car paid with its life, on the Bridge of Doom. A temporary moment of insanity can result in permanent consequences, the vehicle owner listed this car on eBay and now the Junkyard owner is giving it its final listing. You little son of a bitch, I asked for PLAIN donuts. I guess you'll be serving them to the guards...in jail."
