Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

[OssPoop]

It would make a flashy track car for a day and probably end up on fire in a field.

I'm not sure I'd buy it at £1500 knowing he's had his grubby mitts on it

He's not done enough to damage anything. Well, except for filling the cabin with cheap coolant that is.

The wrong coolant in the cabin was the deal breaker for me

Has no one noticed this, looks fucked on the passenger side wheel / arch’s?!

Or just a bad photo..

 

[deanoE30M3]

5 owners..

Every time I look at it I see more faults-
I never condone breaking a rare colour but I will make an exception here
Its a breaker £1500 tops..

Which isnt bad at all considering it's 16 years old.

Reason for quick sale is BS.

Taking paint and belts out of £4000 makes it a £1500 car, sorted.

 

[Usr117063]

It amazes me how people like this have the money to buy cars in the first place

 

[Cookson]

He is clearly lurking on here. Admin need to show us who views and doesnt reply

 

[Cads]

He’s certainly seen it, I sent him the link.

[imprezaworks]

Initially I thought it was a bit of a laugh. Tbh now it just looks like a bit of a witch hunt. Who gives a fook that he's asking rich for the car. He must be bombarded with questions fishing for answers for a car no one is going to buy, on here.

Give it a rest Imo.

Do you really se it as a breaker Steve? Maybe not a tidy PB but surely not a breaker

Nah, he sees a non profit car. Just what the current seller has realised what he's bought. For someone who wants a perltrol blue that can be used daily and is looking to keep for a while it's got to be worth a punt at £2k.

To be fair I sold my perfect arctic blue (bought from Steve above) for £2800 a few years ago, missed it so bought a rough flamer for £1400. Still got it but it was a mistake!

You actually interested in buying the car?

Guy will be posting in here soon https://cliosport.net/threads/time-wasters-when-selling-a-car.826516/page-41#post-11955523

 

[David172]

I'll be near Harlow this week, I wonder if he would be free to let me view it, it looks like a bargain!

yep, I have thrown a hissy fit today. My car is a s**t box, I need to buy a better car as I can’t ever see me sorting mine out to a level I would be happy with. Even if I get it mechanically mint, it will still be cosmetically poor.

Its hard looking at thinking if I was a buying with whatever money is being offered - how long before it breaks or falls to peices based on the fact theres no history / no real idea on belts - Exhaust is hanging & so on.

It would certainly be easier to get £1500-2k to break it.

What's up with it cosmetically?

 

[RustyMojo]

It needs paint mate. Just realising that even when I get it mechanically spot on (I keep unraveling other issues) I’ll still have a car that requires both qtrs, bonnet and front bumper painting. Which I can get sorted. But reality is I’d be better buying a straighter car. So I’m on the look out.

Dont give up just yet, I need the front bumper and a rear quarter doing but I wouldn't be happy if I had nothing to do to it

 

[RustyMojo]

Im not giving up, just being realistic I think. It’s proving a bottomless pit. I’d like to get some enjoyment out of the car on the road as well as the garage. What I’d love is to find a mint Titanium car and make the best I could out of the bits I have. Apologies for dragging this thread off track.

Don't come on here with your rational and fair suggestion, this is a Clio nerds dream, they've already organised a group buy on pitch forks and have setup a Facebook group event including travel down meet up points, with a stop off at the Evo triangle.

 

[R3k1355]

Chancers deserve what they get IMO.

If he's bought a genuinely tidy car for cheap, done a few bits to make a really nice, then slapped it up for sale for 5 grand I don't think anyone would complain.
but clearly it's not that, it needs paint, needs belts and you'll never get over the high miles.

Tried to be abit of a wheeler dealer, ended up looking a c**t.

 

[zedx19]

Now £3750

 

[Inequality Street]

It's getting there..! I think he will actually sell for circa £3000.

Values generally are really high right now. Someone will go for it.

 

[DomP182]

The price had dropped too many times in a short space of time, screams out desperate tone so people will be waiting to see it drop further

 

[OssPoop]

Awaiting @Cookson to get a message accepting his offer of £1500.

His response was usual standard B.S "The trailer would have to be here tomorrow as well as I’m away for a week Monday morning, if it doesn’t sell il get the paint and belts done then put it back up for sale at a later date"

We know that is horse s**t because he's dropped the price further since. I bet if someone tells him they are on their way tonight with £3k cash, he'd miraculously be at home.

 

[RustyMojo]

Maybe, just maybe

It can’t be the car he called it nice.. lol

 

[MLB]

Technically a 'nice project' and a project it definitely is!

 

[Daz...]

It’s an ideal project for someone who works in a body shop. Absolute money pit for everyone else.

 

[RustyMojo]

I genuinely hope someone does an absolute number on it and turns it in to a minter.
