2001 red HDi estate (now with PHOTOS!)

[cpikey316_]

Just gathering some interest.

185k HDi diablo estate. Goes well and is brilliant on fuel (ive been using the current tank for 6 weeks and its only just gone below half!) I serviced it a few weeks ago. Its got little to no service history.Tax is cheap, its in the post-2001 based on CO2 band. MOT until Feb 2012. It has some Tax but I cant remember how much! Loads of space in the boot/rear and even comes with a CD player (doesnt play MP3 cds!)

Not really sure how it is performance wise, as I drive it like i'm driving Miss Daisy! Its not mapped or lowered or anything like that.

Nearly ever panel is scratched, the front of the bonnet is bubbly and the wheels could do with a refurb.
Drivers seat is ripped in the usual place. Airbag light is on, and the handbrake is on warning light doesnt come on after I messed with the bulb for the 2nd time. These are both easy fixes

Air con was very very cold, but wasn't that brilliant today. Is it broken? Is it leaking? Who knows. They compressor is still kicking in.

Got about £900 in it, so would like that. No silly offers please! Car is located in Lu7 9DA

Hate to be the guy who says this mate but I very much doubt you'll get that much if it's a bit rough...

Put some pics up

I might have oversold it, the scratches arent that bad, and would probably come out with some elbow grease. Am just trying to be honest.

help if you gave it a clean Diablo is stunning washed and polished even with all the marks and dents

I know this Cully! The point of having it on here is that hopefully someone will also know that and will see through the shabbyness to the nice looking car underneath.

Tbh, I bought it as a cheap runaround, with the intention of getting my mrs to drive it, she commutes 20 miles for work! But she cant stand it, and I cant sell the Saab, so I need to try and get some cash back from this (i assumed this would be easier to sell!!)

[cully]

I know this Cully! (i assumed this would be easier to sell!!)

probably not @ 185k miles
these are cheap 10 year old cars now

[cpikey316_]

Still solid though, there are many going past that!

50+ mpg diesel with plenty of space must be more appealing than a 26mpg mid life crisis mobile!

[cully]

its doing good if its getting 50mpg mine wont touch that

[cpikey316_]

Haven't actually measured it! (naughty) but its done over 400 miles to my current tank and is only just below half.

[THE_Liam]

Doesn't look as bad as you said to be honest, but that's a lot of miles, didn't actually notice that before mate...

[cpikey316_]

Its not, I think before I try to get rid to the general public! I need to wash and polish it! Ive already put it on gumtree at £1000, so ill see what happens.
