505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 07-12-2013 So chaps, as per the following thread: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-19282.html There's a rather tidy 505 just down the road from me. I've been and viewed it with another fairly clued up mate and there are only a couple of little niggles: Hissing from above brake pedal Small rust hole in rear bumper (only on the bottom, under-sealed section, though) Dodgy sunroof switch Door cards poorly fitted Dead coolant level sensor That's pretty much it, I don't know when the cambelt was last done, either, but should be able to find out. What do you guys think it's worth? I've checked with my insurers, and it's all kosher (actually cheaper than the 306), it'd cost £25 to switch, I'd run it for a little while and then put it into storage for winter, then switch back to the 306 again for the time being. So I'm just pondering what to fork out for the thing. The guy paid £1000 for it around 6 weeks ago, before realising it doesn't fit in his garage for tinkering with. So he's reluctant to lose money on it, unsurprisingly, but I might be able to knock a bit off, as he's not managed to shift it yet. And our survey says... RE: 505 GTi - Connor - 07-12-2013 Keep at it, he cant keep it and noone else wants it... Ball is in your court RE: 505 GTi - bigcheez2k3 - 07-12-2013 Hissing above the brake pedal will be the seal to the servo, had the same thing on my old 306. RE: 505 GTi - Chris1357 - 07-12-2013 IMO, Its only a few weeks until Xmas chuck him an offer of £800 see where you go from there. Chris. RE: 505 GTi - procta - 08-12-2013 at the end of the day its worth a punt at £800 as that's a lot of car, RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 08-12-2013 It is a lot of car, electric everything, heated seats etc. I was thinking I'd offer £800, hadn't thought about the xmas thing though, good point! Good news on the seal, easy job to change just the seal? Is it just a standard o-ring, do you think? RE: 505 GTi - bigcheez2k3 - 08-12-2013 No idea but I imagine it means removing the servo a little, so depends on how much space there is in the bay as to how big a job it is.

If its any help, my rover metros servo seal, was a standard o-ring, so I cannot see why this wont be the same, as its universal braking system. RE: 505 GTi - bigcheez2k3 - 08-12-2013 Items 6 + 7 on a 306. There isn't a 505 option on Service Box. ![]() RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 08-12-2013 Acres of space under the bonnet, its a barge and a half! Cheers chaps, I shan't tell him it's an easy fix though :-P RE: 505 GTi - puglove - 08-12-2013 Id low ball him . Its completly the wrong time of year to be selling a car like this and wont be much interest. I think you could get for a few quid under whar its worth RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 08-12-2013 (08-12-2013, 12:51 PM)puglove Wrote: Id low ball him .

RE: 505 GTi - Connor - 08-12-2013 Id go in at 700 and anything under 800 is a bonus RE: 505 GTi - Just Sean - 08-12-2013 Take £700 cash. When your their get it out and let him hold onto it... If he still says no then put your money away and walk off and dont look back. Money talks moer than you can! RE: 505 GTi - Piggy - 08-12-2013 I would defo offer 700...then go from there RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 08-12-2013 Offered £800, he's not budging at all. Hmmm. RE: 505 GTi - Piggy - 08-12-2013 leave him to boil over it. he aint guna get better than that RE: 505 GTi - procta - 09-12-2013 walk away then, as you made a decent offer. RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 09-12-2013 I'll give him a day or two and then reply. I really want it, so I think if I insist on him filling the tank, and turn up with £900 cash he'll go for it. RE: 505 GTi - Toms306 - 09-12-2013 I doubt he'll give you ~£90 of fuel and then take £100 more than he refused last time....giving him just an extra tenner ![]() RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 09-12-2013 £90 of fuel? Mines a diesel and it only costs £80 to brim? How enormous is the fuel tank on this thing?! RE: 505 GTi - zx_volcane - 09-12-2013 Yeah to be fair to the guy, he probably won't want to see £200 out of the window RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 09-12-2013 Well, I was going to make another offer, but it seems it has sold. Never mind. RE: 505 GTi - Toms306 - 09-12-2013 (09-12-2013, 11:49 AM)Kezzieboy Wrote: £90 of fuel? Mines a diesel and it only costs £80 to brim? How enormous is the fuel tank on this thing?! Irrelevant now but assuming it's 60 litres, with petrol at £1.40(? I don't buy petrol so am guessing lol) it'd be over £80... Did you ask how much it sold for out of interest? RE: 505 GTi - Kezzieboy - 09-12-2013 £1000 I assume, as it was a grand BIN on eBay. So we woz rong, turns out he had plenty of interest, if only he'd told me ![]() RE: 505 GTi - Toms306 - 09-12-2013 Haha, ah well, I'm sure there'll be another one, it's not like they're rare or anything....oh.... ![]() RE: 505 GTi - procta - 10-12-2013 (09-12-2013, 03:21 PM)Kezzieboy Wrote: Well, I was going to make another offer, but it seems it has sold.

I actually did consider this, and yes it would have been 2.1 XUDed and run on KTC diesel replacement fluid. I've looked at loads of shit recently but everyone wants top dollar for rusty crap, just because of thw whole "OMGretroWINzorZzz" effect. Last was a Bluebird ZX Turbo... |
