I haven't even bothered driving one! I was all set to get another brand new one on pcp. On paper it was perfect for the wife and kids; 5 doors, quite small, fast, could still take it on track.... Wait a minute, it's an automatic???
No thanks.
Not really fair to assume that is it? How do you know that none if us have driven one?
More to the point, who are you to tell me whether I prefer auto or manual?!
If I was buying a family saloon car with a big armrest, I'd have auto every day. For anything else, I prefer to change gear myself.
Why not just get it repaired??
Remove it, strip it all down, take it to a bodyshop and ask them to repair/repaint it. You then re fit it and bobs your monkhouse.
If it's not actually that bad, they may even be able to do it whilst still on the car.
Either way, it will cost a lot less than...
V6 clio or a Williams. No other clio will hold money as well as either of these.
Trophy's are cheap now. Nowhere near what they were fetching 24 months ago.
3 things i've had to do on previous corsas...
The area under the scuttle panel gets bunged up with leaves, overflows and fills the car.
Under the passenger side of the windscreen, (remove scuttle panel to see it properly) you'll see where all the hardware enters the cabin. The seals leak...
Tbf mate, the amount of miles it's done, I don't think it's been stood still long enough for water to be able to drip downwards! lol.
But that could explain the very clean engine and the fact it runs so well??
I didn't take a pic of the engine mate.
Apart from general dirt and dust, it was very clean! No leaks or anything.
Someone has looked after it properly it seems.
Yeah Sprinter panels rust fast mate! But transits suffer terminal rot. My mechanic had a 53 plate in the other week and he put something stupid like 8 patches in for it's mot! That's dreadful for a 10 year old vehicle imo.
This will be up for £4999 with no VAT. Lower mileage 10 plates seem to be fetching £75/8000 +vat so I think it will be priced pretty competitively. Plus, the first person to see it and drive it will buy it. It looks and drives like new. Not a single rattle or clunk from anywhere. (After I put...
I used to sell them new, and this will be my 15th! Lol. So yeah I know them quite well.
We're going to start buying/selling a few of them now we have a ramp big enough for them.
Great vans though, better than rusty transits!
So I'm sat here waiting for someone and decided to show off some of my work...
I bought this van as aside from being caked in cement and mud, it is proper straight. No dents, and under the dirt, in very very good condition!
Sadly I never meant to clean it today, I just got carried away after...
I used a £7 belt from a motor factor, my original alternator, and a Renault 11 alternator bracket from Renault @ £12.
No pics of mine sadly.
My mate used his original alternator, the £7 motor factor belt, and an adjustable bracket from screwfix for £15.
Here is his;
Me and Sam deleted power steering on ours as well as aircon. Cost less than £20 as doing it that way means no expensive conversion kits or different alternators, and a couple of hours of our time.
If you use the car as a daily though, I can see that it wouldn't be appealing.
It would have been nice of you to pm me to let me know!
I've just sent them the money for this group buy now.
Is that ok Ant? Or have i fcuked it all up??
