Title: For sale 3L V6 Elite 98 reg auto
Post by: si vaux on 21 April 2009, 00:59:24
Main reason for regrettable :'( sale due to running cost (i.e. 24 MPG average) which I know for the lump and size of the car is quite respectable. Although I truly love this car and in the short 7 months I have owned her she has given me so much pleasure, comfortable motoring and all fairly hassle free other than the heater matrix blowing. I do have a good condition replacement just not had the time to replace it.
Have got pics but need help to put them on here. :-[
She has done 190k, got no MOT left, only a month and a bit of Tax. As far as I am aware but NOT making any promises or guarantee's the only thing she will need for MOT is new hand brake shoes. Nearly new tyres all round, she had all her suspension replaced and service less than a year ago. Other than general wear and tear she is in good condition aside from the usual rear arches rusting along with a couple of other spots. Navy blue in colour. Couple of dinks and scratches on body but nothing major. Interior is very clean, grey leather. All electrics work well apart from passenger rear window doesn't open, think the motor has gone but again just not got round to checking it and doing the work.
Like I have already said this is a regrettable sale :'(, I love her to bits but my boss can't see the justification of me asking for a pay rise simply for me to keep her.
I don't want silly money for her under the circumstances but am open to sensible offers baring in mind that my local scrappy gave me £120 for the rot box donor mig I took last week.
Think that's about it, any more info required please PM me will reply A.S.A.P. or when pc will let me on net.

Nice car. Pity the bodywork is so bad... and it is an auto!

I'd say without the MoT you're looking at scrap value only. I wouldn't pay more. Having said that I flogged a Renault for my neighbour 6 months ago on eBay with no tax, no MoT ticket and it made nearly £200.

The arches look worse in the picture than they are, it wouldnt take much to put them right. Its all on the surface there not about to fall apart!

I haven't really thought about breaking her cos I think she is still in good nick but I do have the room to break her but there seems to be so many parts and bits n pieces up for grabs and I don't really want bits sitting around cluttering up the garage for months on end. If there is enough interest I would think about breaking her for spares.

I'm not getting much interest as the car stands so am thinking more about breaking her. What parts would people be interested in if I was to break her and how much would people be looking to pay for these parts?

Really need to get rid now folks, A.S.A.P.
Finally after lots of messing about and waiting for parts and finding the time to do the work. My replacement car is now ready and no way can I afford to keep both unfortuneately.

 :'(

Will consider sensible offers hoping around the £200 mark or there abouts. Have come to realise having seen what else is out there and other prices. Got a box full of bits still to throw in including spare rear light clusters, toe bar with wiring, main switche for head lights and other dash and centre console switches, e.t.c.
