Bad Points -

The rust on the front edge of bonnet - would be easiest to replace with good bonnet

Lacquer peel on front bumper - may be fixable as the paint is good, its the most solid 306 bumper I've seen tbh with no cracks or anything!
Some scuffs on the cyclones
Oil level gauge hasn't worked since the change, its never bothered me though
Drivers seat height adjuster moves when you sit down, doesn't move again though so hasn't bothered me either.
Probably things I've missed....its a 306 afterall lol.

[Toms306]

No interest at all?

[Toms306]

Open to offers if its too much? Not northern offers though lol.

[Toms306]

No-one?

hahahaha . . . . .don't worry, we don't pay southern prices . .

It seems like Southerners don't want to pay either tbh!


Not sure why though? Its DTurbo spec so gets the suspension/aesthetics of the '6, has 5 doors for practicality, Meridian seats for comfort and the right engine for economy as well as a load of new parts.....cant get much better than that!

[ginge191]

I think the off putting part (for me at least) is the list of defects. And the price which doesn't really match it. And it's 5 door

[Toms306]

They're not really defects though, I'm just more honest than most. I bet it'd be on ebay as 'mint' in all honesty, I've bought 'mint' ones with many more defects.

If they were bad I'd have sorted them. Only thing that annoys me is the rust bubble on the bonnet...but it's not exactly dangerous lol and a bonnet costs £20, I just have trouble travelling for one. I bet you wont even see the dent in the wing (its the nearside wing, theres a close up on the other thread) and as said I can throw a moonstone wing in anyway. The oil level gauge...well if anyone actually trusts that anyway they're a fool lol. And some scuffs on the 'clones....find me an original mint set lol.

The price is open to offers, as I've said.

Also moved the pics over here, in case people are too lazy to look at the thread lol. Would rather this went to someone on here that'll appreciate/look after it but if no-one wants it, it'll probably just get PX'd with the nice bits removed tbh.

[mspdan]

maybe more offers tom if price was lower is a bit steep never paid close to that for a 306 now days and i have bought some good ones..

why complaining about northern offers i like making them

tried it on ebay as classfied ad?

[Piggy]

When peeps say mine isnt worth over a grand.....

Seems pricey?

[mspdan]

agreed with piggy it is just a tad too expensive espically for where you are as most people wont travel to you for bits..

there is a w reg moonstone 3 door with mot and tax till december with stage 1 remap up for £450 with usual fancy bits so does make yours expensive, no offence :/

[Piggy]

Just think the engine n clocks swap may put people off too unless you got lots of mileage receipts n proof etc.

Although there is a 3dr Dturbo HDi in moonstone not far from me...guy wants £1650. And its basically standard!!!
I did at him!!

There is a built in haggling tolerance with the pricing, as people always want money off lol. I don't think a grand with t&t would be overpriced in all honesty. It needs nothing mechanically at all. Its also got a new lift pump and crank pulley so the main failure parts have been done.

Haven't tried ebay, partly because I know 'normal' people wont appreciate it....just the word 'remap' puts people off instantly. Plus ebay are robbing bastards lol, after fees I ended up with less than scrap value for the 106....which the buyer still hasn't bothered to collect a week later...

Are they really worth so little now? Going back to 306s was definitely the biggest mistake I've made this year!

Travel isn't an issue, I can organise a car courier.

I wouldn't let it go for £450....would rather burn it than let someone take it for that. Id guess that's a high miler or something though?

Proof of what? I have receipts for servicing inc cambelt for the new engine as it came from a mint and running low mileage rear ended 306 that I broke, its not just a random scrap yard find lol. I also kept receipts for all parts I fitted to it. Clocks were swapped so the receipts/history make sense. Original clocks can be included if needed. I realise the swap will put off randomers, which is why Im asking on here first.

Is that 3dr a Y reg? A low mileage standard Y plate would be worth well over a grand tbh, not quite that much, but Im sure theres an inbuilt haggling amount in that.



If anyone is genuinely interested, please do make an offer, its obviously worth a lot less than I anticipated so I don't know what its worth to you?

[kentiiboii]

Tom...
The bad bits dont need to be listed, just state age related marks. Maybe the rust on bonnet can be mentioned but the rest if just you being picky.
Why bother doing a engine change and mot change cambelt while your there with it out?
Maybe it is a tidy car, but its a but over priced for what it is. Imo id say about £900ono.
Mine was fairly tidy with 110k miles loads of paperwork, 1 family owner and id just done cam belt for the sale to get more interest. I think I was lucky to get £925 for mine.

[Toms306]

Why change a belt that's only been on a year and a half? Glad I didn't waste money changing it now anyway lol.

As said, I'm open to offers, but it doesn't look like anyones interested anyway.

[kentiiboii]

Yeah but in a year and half its done 40k miles, for the ease of it and knowing its done. Id of done it my self personally.

If I was you id lower the price.
My dads just paid £450 for a Y reg 5 dolr moonstone HDI, meridian in decent condition and on 140k miles.
You can pick them up pretty cheap just lately.

[Toms306]

Would the cambelt make any difference to the price now though? Doubt it. And it was supposed to be a quick fix and sell car....but then I remembered how much more practical 5 doors were lol.

Wish I hadn't fixed it if that's all its worth now, will be losing out yet again!

Im not saying thats what its worth. But just drop the price to lets say £950 ono and get it on facebook sites that are cars for under a grand.
I know the work you have done will be good because your so fussy abkut.your cars.

Cam belt dont really do much to price but if your saw 2 car similar in everyway and price, one had cam belt done a couple years ago and the other was done pretty recently which would you buy? :-)

[Toms306]

Fair enough, though I still don't see why someone wouldn't offer £950 if that's what they thought it was worth lol.

I'm not on facebook now, never had much luck with selling on those anyway though tbf. If they wont take it as PX I'll probably just have to chuck it on ebay. Used my free ads on Gumtree now as well unfortunately.

Oh and in that scenario I'd go for the one that hadn't had the cambelt done at all at a much higher price because that'd be the closest one to me...

[Toms306]

Right, definitely decided this is going within the next two weeks. If you're interested and want to make an offer PM me. I won't bump this anymore. It'll go on ebay at the end of the week.

[deggerz]

To be far tom I paid 1300 for mine which is a 5 door dturbo hdi in absolutely mint and I mean not absolutely mark on it with 1 owner from new fsh and a year old belt and it had 62k on the clock so it does seem on the steep side in my opinion, if that's what it's worth to you though then why bloody not try and sell it for that

[Toms306]

Its not really worth much to me lol, cant use 2 cars at once...its what its worth other people that I really don't know. So I'd rather go in a bit high than price low and do myself out...

[Matt-Rallye]

In all honesty when anyone posts a car for sale on this forum for what its actually worth everyone jumps on the bandwagon too tell them its worth half what theyre asking.

Best of sticking it on ebay and you will actually get that asking price. they are selling well on ebay at the moment anmd commanding a good price.

[bashbarnard]

im just offering this to a friend of mine. going to have to start taking commision on your cars when i sell them

[Toms306]

Right, I should be getting the replacement next week! (As long as this one doesn't fall through like the last!)

So the HDi is back up for £995 taxed and tested which I think is very reasonable considering the work that has been done recently (rather than buying one for £800 and having to spend £300 and a load of time on it lol ). Obviously it can't be taken until I've got the replacement though.

[Toms306]

Just put deposit on a new car, so I will be SORNing this today....if anyone would like it and wants the tax left on it, let me know asap!

[Toms306]

This will be cleaned and returned to standard then put on ebay within the next week. Would really rather it went to someone here though!
