If all the reciepts are genuine then i'd say £2500 is a fair price.
I just sold mine for £3k but that had a 12 month RAC warranty, new MOT, Serviced and we fitted a cambelt kit.
I think its pretty obvious whats happened, but they're not stupid.
They will have paid some smack head £50 to do it. Smack head will never be seen again and popo have no evidence whatsoever.
It really annoys me that people like this are getting rich by doing this to people! Not to mention...
And then they'll come round and burn your house down with you and your parents asleep in it.
They are gangsters. Not people you want to mess with at all. Why people even go there in the first place is beyond me.
Sadly this happens quite a lot.
A dealer is pissed off with a customer for continuous complaints/warranty claims so the dealer pays someone £100 to sort the problem out.
That bloke won't be bothering Merry Hill motors again!!
I had the same problem with a little 1.1 106. Been sat for nearly a year and the emmissions were shot to s**t.
£10 2nd hand lambda and 20 minutes at full pelt up and down the ring road a few times and it passed! :D
Passats are lovely, but dull as s**t to drive.
Good work on the Fuckus, although i'm not sure a 3dr is a good idea. The doors are massive! Gone in an NCP yet??
I had an air leak on the inlet manifold and it was ticking over at 5000 rpm.
It was the rubber o ring at the back not seated properly. Worth a look, afterall its free! :D
I personally think they are brilliant. (197's, not driven a 200)
They are docile enough to drive around town easily but are awesome on the limit. Not something I would spend £8,9,10k on though. I'll wait until they're £5k.
You will have to spend on the 172 to make it worthwhile. (Mounts, belts, joints etc)
Pointless exersize imo.
Example: Sell your Cup for £4k (assuming its mint low miles and had belts done)
Buy a cheap 172 (uptogether ones with low miles and history are fetching upwards of 3k) for about...
