GI - China Y reg HDi Estate

[Toms306]

Right, this is now running ok. So not sure whether to sell or break. Just wondering if anyone would be in interested in it, and what its worth?

Good points -

Y reg cheap tax (currently SORN)
MOT until Dec 13th
China
Engine seems good, and very clean around top end
No engine faults found on PP now
Previous, previous owner since 2005, then another guy for about 2 weeks before me lol.
Remote central locking works, as does everything door loom related!
Rear electric windows

Bad points (get ready... )
Absolutely no history bar latest MOT sheet
Needs coolant end housing due to snapped temp sensor support - sensor is held in with gasket sealant but wont take much to blow out
No milage display but been told its about 170k
Door and wing damage to nearside and broken hockey stick
Drivers seat ripped, leather wheel very worn, interior rank, switches covered in 10 years of skin
Rear tyres are proxes so obviously have no tread left, fronts are premium 'LingLong'
Bodywork isnt great all round
Smells of wet dog - air fresheners and febreeze were left by previous owner though lol, be alright with a wetvac!
Only has half an undertray and lots of cable ties
Tape deck has no code
Blowers don't work
Missing trim pieces, roof rails and load cover



















If you'd be interested in it with a few of the faults sorted, I can do that, price dependant obviously, otherwise I'll break it.

Cheers
Tom

break it, you know you want too

[Toms306]

Lol, looks like one of them will get broken. But don't have space or time to do both!

Bonnets are crap on both anyway lol.

This was the one on the bay that went for like £140?

Was eyeing it up myself but distance was too far!

I don't wish to disclose the price. I know what I paid, want to know what it's worth.

But it was on the bay yes, and it was pretty local to me. Had thought about fixing it and using it as the 3dr is pretty small and impractical after the Vectra/previous estate but cant justify 2 lots of insurance/tax/MOT etc.

Sorry tom that's my bad bud either way nice little earner you've got there

Shame really I'm currently running my stage 1 hdi which my missus uses (under the thumb I know) and a stock estate as a work horse best of both worlds little and barge

What condition is the boot lid and rear bumper in?

a china bonnet is better than a silver one

Not so sure tbh, jumped in a bit quick because it was local lol. Don't think there are many saleable parts as nothings 'mint' to replace other damamged parts hence wondering if its worth more whole to someone that doesn't mind the aesthetics. I don't mind putting in some effort to get it up to standard, but the 1.8 will suffer if I do lol.

Yeah it would've been good, though that said, the estate isn't really big enough for what I was planning a bit further in the future anyway (towbar + car trailer)....wouldn't be able to tow a 306 with a 306 anyway. Was a good idea, but as usual too many barriers in the way lol.

What condition is the boot lid and rear bumper in?

Bodywork is all crap lol, did say this in the bad points. Looks like someone thought it was a bumper car...

a china bonnet is better than a silver one

Hmm, that's true... Theres a big rusty dent above the headlight though, and lots of scratches on it.

[Toms306]

Anyone want to buy this? Will need trailering away as I've f*cked the coolant housing completely now. Ideal to swap to an XUD if you have one laying around though.

Good news though, I found the radio code so that works now....

[JamesG]

Shame your not closer :/

[Toms306]

Yeah, its not like I hear that everytime I sell something!

Gonna break it anyway I think now.

Well if I had my own trailer if have it bud!

[Toms306]

Yeah I know that feeling! Such a pain not having any car transport!
