Even if there are a few problems don't mind chucking a few quid at it

I bet it needs a cambelt change so budget for that
No MOT so how will you collect it?
Worth a look and offer £200!
-
Rac could get it back for me if I just say cam belts gone they won't even check that :)
-
Need to ask the question why a Dealer who's in Business to make money though selling Cars is selling a Car with no MOT?, some things not right to me.
Wouldn't count on the RAC not checking the Cambelt, one bolt off, pull cover back, look at Cambelt.
:-\
-
£250? Thats scrapyard money. MOT failure. Probably something expensive, wheel bearings, bushes, of course the obligatory brake pipes etc. It'll need a cambelt and service, probably tyres too. I would consider it for parts but you need to look it over first. :-\
-
MOT expired ?? - Drive it away ??? Just how illegal is that then ??? something weird there IMHO .. :(

Im sure they do a 3 day policy where they insure you , so maybe if it was booked in for an mot when picked up it would be ok to drive .. not far from me and sure ive seen the ad before :-\ recon a few hundred to get it back into shape :-\

I just paid 350 for a 53 plate 2.6 CDX with tax and test, knowing it needed a few bits like camcover gaskets n coil pack so it's not really too cheap as it will need some cash spending as mine did

:o Bargain :y Ive seen some cars at breakers yards going cheap and most need cam gaskets and posssibly coil packs ... almost mint condition . Seems folks are scrapping them just for minor issues :(
-
yes like high fuel prices + insurance ;) and dont get me started-it is a v6 afterall
-
i'm in Northampton. could take a look at it if youre really interested, plym?
:y
-
Look at the rest of his stock all budget cars, I am not sure why they wouldn't just run it through an MOT and stick it up at 5-600 ?
Unless there is a mountain of work to do to get it through not mentioned in the ad ???

I note only one photo also ::)
-
might be worth buying and breaking if you have the room
-
From the only pic, i can see a crease in the front wing..bit of damage to front bumper...and one of the headlamp washers is missing.....and i havent even got my glasses on ;D
Probably too much cosmetic damage to it and probably failed its MOT for the dealer to consider putting right and trying to make a profit out of it :y

How comes when a car is shown for sale everybody has to slag it off. For fecs sske its a £250 quid car with 4 months tax, £200 would drive it away,.
theres another thread regarding a 3.2 irmee estate thats been spanked up the ar#% and no negative post.
is it me......
