FOR SALE: 2000 China 1.8 Meridian - New Clutch! £650 takes it. :(

[Toms306]

2000 (X) 1.8 Meridian
China blue
3 previous owners
MOT Novemeber 2014
Tax 31st May - Will be SORN end of this month, unless you collect before that!
107k miles
Best colour, best spec, best number of doors, you can't go wrong.

Clutch, fork bushes and cable all changed less than 1k miles ago....guarantee its the nicest 1.8 clutch around. Also gave it a full service at the same time, and P bushes as well.

Recent history for the last couple of years has been lost be previous owner but seems well looked after in that time anyway.

Has all the things you'd expect from a Meridian - electric windows all round inc drivers one touch, electric mirrors, half leather seats in very good condition, no bolster rips, automatic air con (though obviously the ac gas has all fallen out), etc etc.

Standard stereo with code
GTi spoiler fitted

Bad points -
Steering wheel airbag cover has some damage as seen in pics, leather has also worn a lot.
Custom stealth shelf with 6x9s...stupidly heavy and awkward getting stuff in the boot
Bodywork isn't great - scratches on most panels. Main being a scuff to front bumper and a rear door pictured.























£650, no offers, owes me a lot more! Located near Ipswich. Going on ebay and gumtree tonight.

Cheers
Tom

GLWS Tom. You can get 220hp out of the 1.8 without turboing or supercharging so there is potential in these engines which people dont seem to be bothering with.

220bhp that with throttle bodies? ,

[Toms306]

Get bidding guys.

[Toms306]

Price too high or just no-one want it?

And lol at whoever offered me £260 on ebay for it.

[kentiiboii]

Why you started it so cheap?
It will sell tom, you just got to hold out and be patient. :-)

Honestly, seeing as you asked mate, it's a bit dear in my opinion. You get HDIs in that condition for that price, I'd ask more like £575. £260 is nowhere near though, who actually makes offers like that?!?!

[Toms306]

Started at 99p on ebay...didn't know what to start at tbh.

I cant be patient as I need the space and funds lol, got the estate to break as soon as the 1.8 is gone.

Fair enough, that's more the kind of answer I was looking for!

Though I do think asking £575 (and presumably expecting £50 knocked off) is a little too low, don't forget you're up North where stuffs cheaper lol.

[THE_Liam]

Yeah I suppose, cars are cheaper here. Better if you go further north, went up to Middlesborough and got the Benz for £600

[Silky]

Tom, I'm interested. Drop me a PM with your number pls

[Toms306]

Bit late I'm afraid Michael, the ebay auction ends tomorrow....

[mspdan]

cuz u love me sell me the bonnet and challengers ...

[Toms306]

The 1.8 has a scratched bonnet and swallows...what you on about.

Though the estate bonnet might be better when I get round to stripping that....

[Toms306]

So this didn't sell unfortunately.

FYI its now SORN, and the central locking broke yesterday, cant find a broken wire and PP2K doesn't detect any problems but the locks bounce from the remote, and will only lock if you use the key in drivers door. Not sure what the issue is tbh, was fine until this week!

Any takers? It owes me about £750 so would like as close to that as possible tbh, but need it gone so let me know if you've any sensible offers.

[Toms306]

£650 takes it this weekend....
