Up for sale :( - 1996 306 XTDT - 138k £450 - SOLD

[silestanix]

Alright all ...I've been offered a Merc Sprinter van off a work colleague fairly cheap so I may be selling up what has been a wicked workhorse since I had the Clutch replaced at 127k and PAS pump replaced at 124k. Purpose of this thread is to see how much she's worth and who's interested in her as i've spent a fair bit on her so I want the next owner to look after her!

Spec:

306 XTDT In Genesis Blue, bought with 123k in 27/07/2013

E/W all round with one touch lowering on drivers side

Remote central locking (radio remote unit fitted, Not crap infra red one)

Clutch replaced at 127k by Cranbrook Carriages Ltd in October Last year at a cost of £320 (Valeo one fitted)

PAS Pump replaced with New item at 124082 miles again by Cranbrook Carriages ltd at a cost of £180

Cambelt, Waterpump, all tensioners & Thermostat & Cooling system flush by KrisB @ 123613 Miles

Recent Aux belt by KrisB, tensioners replaced by him late last year

Recent rear Beam replacement from a newer 306 with bigger drums as original beam had play. Whilst beam was fitted the handbrake cable was replace by KrisB as well.

Brake discs and pads done in August last year

Oil service every 6k with Valvoline All Seasons or Valvoline DuraBlend 10W40 oil
Air filter also changed same time as oil filter

Lowered by KrisB, 20mm springs at the front and same at the back on the torsion bar, sits nice and level with my sub in the back, otherwise its like 5mm higher at the back so there's some leeway and no rubbing if you carry stuff or have a car full of people

Recent new battery (Jan 13)

Recent Fuel Filter (April 13)

New driver's side hub inc bearing (August 12)

Mot til end July 18th

Tax til End of September

2 sets of keys both with radio remote fob

Riding on steels at the moment with plenty of grip all round, kumho's at the front and decent budgets at the back

I've spent a Lot on this car to bring it to a decent standard as I do motorway miles in it so I can't afford for it to screw up at 70mph. I'm not expecting to get much of that back but I have peace of mind that i drive a now reliable car and the new owner will not have problems.

As with any car, Bad bits:

Some paint chips etc age related, and some slight bubbling but that has been cleaned painted and lacuered with peugeot genesis blue touch up paint kit.

Slight tear in driver's seat lumber support, will try and sew up in next few days

Passenger rear electric window motor packed up a few months ago, never bothered me tbh but its not an expensive fix.


...so, would it be a lot to ask for around the £550...?

Will add pics in a bit once I get my laptop off my sister as i've posted this from my mobile.

Some rough Pictures, I'll get some decent ones tomorrow when weather permits, but you get the idea lol; a pic when she was dirty and a few once clean and one close up to show the decent nick of the car's paintwork. 2 of inside when i took some pics of the interior, the Pioneer Stereo will Not be included in the sale unless the buyer wants to pay £80 for it, I paid £179 for it back in February. Insitead I'll include an old head unit while will still play mp3 cd's etc unless you'd like the standard Pug head unit.

i think that's about right money mate, in fact if you were closer i'd probs have it off you as i'm after one for the wife atm . . . what pump is it on, Bosch or Lucas? . .

[silestanix]

Ah sadly it's on a lucas Matt, tis decent though lol, i've only ever run it on shell v-power since I bought it...thats probably just cos i'm a tad fussy lol.

If anyone like yourself wanted to buy it far away I don't mind driving it up and getting a train or coach back, coach tickets aren't too much these days and it'll get me a much needed break out of London haha.

Oh and just to add to the advert, i've recently replaced the Air Filter box with one that has No leaks or holes and i've made sure no water can enter it so it'll be fine in the rain. Its something that worries me about the low position of the air filter box so I did something about it.

Alright ladies n gents, this is now officially Up for Sale; Ray's phoned me and said he'll keep the van for 3 weeks before he PX's it in for his new VW Transporter van, so I've got 3 weeks to sell this car, my XSi/DT/S16 Bumper in white, and a set of worthy cyclones, and other bits to make up part payment for the van.
I'll take some pictures in the next few hours and post them up...

£550 o.n.o...

After looking around for at other 306 cars for sale I'm gonna lower my asking price to 450 o.n.o, more reasonable and a decent car for someone .

*edit - Also, I'll be removing the stickers on the rear of the car on Friday, and I will be leaving the subwoofer remote + power wiring running through the car as I will have no use for it in my upcoming van).

New pics added this morning, plus a new set of Bosch wipers; also, Heated mirrors working on both sides .
