So, with the recent advent of finally waking up and getting a new job which comes with a company car I figure there will be no place for the 306 in about 5 weeks time
It's the longest I've ever owned the same car and been happy with it. Usually I'm fed up within a few months and I've signed enough V5Cs to prove it! But this little car has been a gem and I'll be genuinely sad to see her go.
And that leads me on to the purpose of this thread. Exactly what sort of figure should I expect to get for her?
I've covered now 129,000 miles. In that time I've serviced it every time with genuine parts and good quality oil (usually Shell Helix from the Pug garage).
Spec.
-2001 (cheap tax) 2.0 HDi DTurbo
-Smoothed front end (bonnet welded, grille plastic-welded, very good job)
-Black Masks
-H7R HIDs on dipped beam 4300k
-Lowered approx. 40mm all-round
-Bilstein B4 shocks all-round
-Replaced rear beam with lower mileage one and replaced all 4 mounts at the same time (Lemforder mounts)
-GTi6 front brake setup
-Smoothed tailgate (not perfect) with dashboard button
-straight-thru centre pipe and decat leading to Stainless backbox (not noisy)
-GTi6 half-leather interior
-Upgraded front speakers
-306-specific moulded 10" sub enclosure (removable) with JBL sub (I think, might be Kenwood)
-Kenwood 600W amp
-Kenwood MP3 / CD headunit with USB input (in the rear, not poking out of the front of the bloody dashboard!)
-Colour-coded bits of interior (tastefully done)
-Stage "1.5" tune/remap and EGR blanked. Goes well (est. 135bhp map)
-3 Keys! With RCL and immob chips that ACTUALLY WORK!
Probably some other bits I have forgotten too.
With the help of Dee on this forum the cambelt was replaced last year, at the same time as the water pump. Continental belt kit used.
Currently fitted with Michelin PE2s up front and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tyres on the rear, loads of tread on each.
Lovely car. Has never left me stranded, even with the few issues I've had with it (all repaired) it has never let me down (hopefully this won't be a jynx in the next few days!)
I wish I could justify keeping it as a project and really turning the boost up.
Sale ad will go up in a couple of weeks, once I've settled in at the new place. Answers on a postcard. Or PM me if you have genuine interest in the car.
