Registered 27/10/2000, it's not a new car. It has rust bubbles along the front edge of the bonnet and the black trim below the side windows is bubbled. The 'chrome' trim is almost all white.
The front fogs are foggy and almost every panel has a ding or stone chip. Both bumpers are scuffed. It's workhorse rather than concourse.
Inside is better, the leather is showing signs of use, a few scuffs and creases but there are no tears that I'm aware of. Its got all the exec toys, except nav, and everything works except the A/C.
The illumination on the right hand temp gauge and the speedo needle has died, although it passed the mot like it. I have the dash from my GTX that should plug straight in, but that has 300+k on the clock. The centre seatbelt sometimes jams when the seat is folded, and 'breaks' the plastic trim on top of the seat.
It has a towbar and double electrics which worked when I first tested them, but I haven't used the S socket on the road and the N hasn't been used in months. The mounting plate for the sockets has rusted through and broken.
The engine and gearbox seem fine, and I'm getting 58-60 MPG and over 1000 miles on a tank, I have the fuel receipts to verify this.
It has a service book stamped up to 118195, old mots and bills. I got it with 137k on the clock. It now has 169k.Its had the oil changed a couple of times in the past year.
It needs tyres and cambelt soon.
It's taxed 'til 30/04/12 and tested 'til 16/05/12.
£500 gets the car and the chance to swap some parts that I have laying around, to 'pretty' it up a little. (wheels,clocks,trim parts)
The car has to go as I don't have space on the drive, so if its still here when I find a replacement it'll be traded in.
I will not be breaking it, so don't ask for parts!
I live near Bedford, a mile from the A1 and work six days a week near Cambridge, on the A14. If you want to view/test drive PM for contact details.
I'll try to sort out a few more pics soon.
