Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - mspdan - 23-02-2014
I have been searching through for a new hdi as i sold mine last week and really want another one already (embarrassing i know).
There are some nice ones but this bloke must be mad and is a joker surely. I rang him and the price is what he is after:

I know its clean but its never worth that surely, dreamer :/
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - Chris_90 - 23-02-2014
Very nice but not worth that no way! 1,200max
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - WiNgNuTz - 23-02-2014
Definitely got his head in the clouds that one!
It'd have to be seriously clean for me to even consider spending £1500 on an HDi, let alone £2200!
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - mspdan - 23-02-2014
bloke got arsey when i phoned him said is it a typo and supposed say £1200, would seriously considered it then..
He said i have spent £3000 on it and want some money back, so was it a dog before?
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - Toms306 - 23-02-2014
Lol, not even Y reg! And bloody 17s...and too low at the back...
Now I know that's personal preference but anyone spending top dollar on a minter wants something mint...not something uncomfortable and impractical!
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - mspdan - 23-02-2014
it was more the milage tom, wanted something low as im doing alot of motorway miles and wish to keep the car a few years.
It is so hard to find one though at the minute and you can get alot newer car for the money of what some people are charging for them, i should not have sold mine really..
I think half the problem is i want a three door not a 5 door ideally but i need a car this week so will have to be whats available, but even thats a struggle to find a decent one currently
his texting skills are appauling to, proper thinks he is gangster makes me chuckle..
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - lolsteve - 23-02-2014
Mileage really isnt a concern when looking at these though, hell if it's low milage i'd ask why? Maybe its never working right to get the mileage up hence the sale.
2.2 grand is a joke though, maybe if factory fresh standard condition and someone was an idiot
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - Toms306 - 23-02-2014
Yeah I'm not saying its a bad car for you...but its for the price!
Mileage isn't really relevant tbh, I'd rather buy one on ~120k that's had a clutch, cambelt and lift pump than one on 80k with those things about to fail personally.
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - C.A.R. - 23-02-2014
To be honest, these cars are so old now you should buy on condition rather than mileage. Simon (C2K on here) is selling his which is in very good nick (better than mine!) but has done many more miles. Does that make it a worse car? No, I don't think so.
You want something that's been looked after, if it's 14/15 years old and hasn't done that many miles there's a possibility it's been laid up somewhere to rot, or has been bought by the wrong kind of user and only been used for very short journeys - it will be all coked up if that's the case.
I was seriously considering selling mine a few weeks back, but can't afford anything newer that I like, so clinging onto it for now.
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - mspdan - 23-02-2014
yeah its just hard to find one that isnt a pile of crap, i dont even mind travelling miles aswell..
The ones i have seen are just shite or have stuff wrong that isnt disclosed, beginning to think i am being picky :/
i dont mind paying a bit for one but not paying no where near that for one, jesus id expect a far newer car for £2000

So true.
Mines done 312k miles now and it drives, looks cleaner and handles better then my brother wifes 206 that's only done 60k miles.

How about a Vectra?
Only 106k, 7 years newer and tonnes more spec than the Gumtree HDI...and only £800 more.
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - DeeTurbo - 23-02-2014
Why not buy Simons? I think his is on 250k but like said above it's in good condition.

i looked at a 2007 1.9cdti sri for £1500 but i had an astra and hated that and my mates dad has a 2004 vectra and we are forever fixing it, which does put me off them.

RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - Toms306 - 23-02-2014
You'd be bored without something to fix.....why else would you buy a 306.

this is true mate, cant argue with that one
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - Eeyore - 23-02-2014
Bit too low on 17s. Probs £1200 max. It looks very tidy though. I hate the description though. How do people expect to sell things with such crap ads. "wont let me put my add in but if u txt or mail me al give all details.cheers"
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - karl1989 - 23-02-2014
Thought he had pics on my car looking at the add then. Think I need a 306 in another colour too many moonstones around that look same

Not sure if it's officially for sale yet, or maybe he sold it. Definitely worthwhile giving him a ring.
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - gavxud - 24-02-2014

A practical diesel with good handling that has had the handling and practicality ruined by being slammed with silly, huge wheels and low profile tyres...
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - 306 blaze - 24-02-2014
he is off his head asking that price some people nowadays ay lol.
RE: Dreamer on gumtree with a HDI - lewisdmz - 24-02-2014
HDi D-Turbo's are desirable and not all that easy to come by, still overpriced though.
