Bought my 3rd 306 :D

[Mikefish100]

Hi all.

I'm glad to announce that at the weekend I bought my 3rd 306 and it being my 2nd hdi

Was on the look for a 5 door hdi, any colour considered but would love another black one ( rare I know )

After a few offers and searches online I came across a black 5 door on autotrader for £1300 with 91k on the clock . Unfortunately not a 'Y' reg but 'x' being close.

Went up to Liverpool at the weekend after the seller saying its mint..... As the photos I got sent from him looked great!
But got up there, alloys are corroded to f**k, few dents that he was gonna get out but didn't have the time ( apparently ) buuuuuut I went all that way so I wanted to buy it as I fell back in love with the 306

So plans are....

Get the alloys refurbished, dents sorted from panels, cambelt etc changed due to not having any history of having it done! Very kindly Darren offered to do it for me .
Also whiles he's doing the cambelt he's going to put a map on for me yippy! Can't wait!

Anyway here's the pictures that the guy sent me but at the weekend will take some more to show the alloys/dents before it all gets sorted

Cheers all.

Yeah I ended up paying £1300 for it as the guy wouldn't budge even though he said about the dents etc.... But least it keeps me busy here

Looks pretty tidy tbf and like you said they are pretty rare in black. Shame you didn't hold on a bit as me and a mate have a 5 door astor grey D turbo hdi on a Y reg that we will have for sale sometime soon.

Bit of a pain on not getting the price a bit lower but when they know how far you come they can use that on the price and not budge. Pretty low mileage though for a 306 these days

Yeah its a pretty tidy car in all fairness, just the dents and a few scratches to get rid of and will look good also re fit a fog light. Dammit haha! I should of really but needed a car after I sold my leon.

Yeah I know but like you said he knew I was coming all that way so he knew I was gonna have it. Yeah that's why I went for it as pretty much all of them are over 100k now

[Frosty]

You got a big plans for it?

[Jimbo]

Nice car mate, dturbo Hdi 5drs are nice
Miss my black one, one of the best colours imo

[Mikefish100]

Not to sure frosty..... I will have to see what the future holds . Would like to go stage 2 but will be a while till that.

Cheers jimbo do love it. Especially in black! I missed my first hdi and then my rallye so had to go for another one

These are the little niggles that I'm gonna get sorted out.

Not the biggest dents but I know there, there so I want to get them sorted. As for the wheels.....

There atrocious ha!

[Tom]

Thats the worst condition set of cyclones i've ever seen i think :/ Get them powder coated :p

[Mikefish100]

Ha ha there the worst ones I've seen aswell . Don't worry going somewhere tomorrow morning to get a quote to get everything sorted

[Mikefish100]

Good news... Wheels are getting done this Wednesday/Thursday
Gotta get some more quotes for the dents as I'm getting quoted silly money in places soo more research into that to be done.

Also went shopping yesterday for everything that Darren needs for my cambelt change etc

Got my car back this evening after having the wheels fully refurbished and I gotta admit there looking like brand new!

I'll let the pictures do the talking...... Also received my xsara jets this evening so put them on to

Cheers Tom! I'm very happy with the finish on them . Certainly stands out now with the wheels looking fresh.

Got them to spray them 'Nissan silver' which look epic when the sun hits them

[Mikefish100]

Would like to thank Darren for carrying out a cambelt change and for mapping my car feels a whole lot better now!

Re fitted the broken osf fog this week and this weekend will hopefully change the rocker cover gasket and the inlet manifold gasket due to both of them leaking.

Also want some thoughts on what people think of having black masks on a black car? As in tempted by a set for £50+£15 postage.

If it helps...

If it helps...

Cheers for the photo
I do think that it definatly smartens up the front end with them being on a black car.

Is £50 roughly what they go for? With one bracket broken.
