-Edit: This week (19-04-07) it has had..New cambelt & New spark plugs fitted.

 

 

The bad bits:

-Both right side alloys are curbed. With the correct instructions these can be re-furbed at home.

Good site for alloy repair: http://bettercarcare.com/how-to-repair-alloy-wheels.html

 

Little more info:

-The car was brought in to the country 01-12-2003 by a local garage, for which I then purchased on 30-12-2003,

so I'm shown as 2nd keeper on the supplied log book (well a bit of V5 paper as all cars now have)

-Since ownership the car has had full service & MOT every year.

-All paper work will be supplied on every bit of work that has been done on the car since I've owned it.

-As said above, I've owned this car for just over 3 years now and use it daily. Never had any problems, starts first time,

the engine bay is so clean you could it your dinner off of it.

 

Having looked around at other N/A examples out there, I do think you will find it hard to find one as good as this that has not been molested one way or another.

Sure, you can get one for a few grand cheaper but you will pay the price in the end to get it as clean as this.

Any expert is more than welcome to come and see to prove me wrong. I stand by my word!

"yep, I'm VERY gutted on having to sell!"

 

 

 

-So my asking price is £6400

As I've said, any checks on the car are MORE then welcome, I can even put you in touch with the garage that service and know my car.

They can confirm what a great example this is.

Before putting on Autotrader tomorrow for £6800, I have lowered my price to £6500 for any forum members.

This really is a cracking car for the price (which I would say that ;) , but this is coming from many mates who think I'm mad selling at that price due to it's condition)

 

I'm looking in to getting an Audi A2, so if someone wishes to PX with one this may be considered.

(and no horrible comments on next choice of car please :p )

Been trying to refine the description for a couple of weeks now :blink: .

Just dont want to put people off by them having to read a whole book :read: ,

but at the same I really want to put as much detail in there as I can.

Very tricky.

Car has just come back from Greenwells Garage Maldon, with New Cambelt & New Spark Plugs fitted.

Jason said the car looks VERY clean and sound underneath, someone really will get a bargain.

Grrr!! Why do they have to tell you such nice things about your car when you've got to sell it :(

 

Have also updated the pics at front of thread..
