No mate, its been on PH for a while and the odd attempt on the bay, just tried on here, hopefully get a genuine interest with somebody willing to view the car!

Thanks for comments guys!

 

Looks nice m8,best colour too not that i'm biased.

 

lovely looking sapp mate!

 

Did you buy this from carlisle?

 

Looks nice

 

Yes mate, picked up from Carlisle 3 yrs ago.

 

BTTT

 

Arh thought it was that car!

 

hi has the engine ever been rebuilt if so when thanks

 

Hi mate, dont have any proof of rebuild so cant say , but runs n starts great, oil changed regular n set up with no problems in past, no smoke etc. Slight tappet noise when cold for a couple of mins but common with YB's.

 

Bump!

 

Bump!

 

fancy a deal with a e46 m3?

 

This time last year i was looking for one, but ended up with a new Vectra SRi for eveyday car, now selling the Cos to put some money into house so its a sale only mate, cash needed, sorry but thanks for the offer!

 

up!!!!

Possible first viewing on Mon, at last. Confident on selling to 1st viewer, but if its another timewaster who doesnt appear, i'll take sensible offers or consider breaking the car.

 

Im suprised its still for sale! i would of thought the fact its a L reg would of made it sell quite quick. Good luck with the vewing

 

Tell me bout it mate, had plenty of txt n calls, but always ends when i tell them car is located in Glasgow, then theres people that want sumthin for nuthin, countless offers of 4k without even viewing the car, saying thats all they have, why look at cars in 5k bracket then? Its priced at a near wot i paid 4 it, n spent 2-3k on it, thats fair

 

Stick with it it look's well tidy and a rare l reg, i understand why people are making silly offer's as i am in the same boat. I am looking for one but can't seem to scrape money together like i used to be able to so just can't quite get to that 5 grand mark. Wouldn't dream of offering 4 though that's a bit of a pisstake.

 

Exactly my thoughts mate, wouldnt do it myself. Cheers.

 

Up!

 

nice example & id have it if a had the cash, have to ask whys there an english flag on the rocker cover , 1rst thing i would have changed lol

 

Cheers,cars from Carlisle when i picked it up, got a new rocker n had it powder coated same colour as wheels, just never got round to fitting it yet!

 

hi mate nice car is that goin with the car?and do you have the centre caps for the alloys?

 

All centre caps are there, same colour as wheels, i prefer them off now but up to next owner how he likes it! Caps are included in the sale, but spares like the cam cover, stainless bolts n other bits n bobs will be included with some stereo if i get right price, otherwise will be for sale seperately.

 

Pic i found with caps on

 

Wots the right price mate?

 

Its worth wot its priced in the ad all day long, but needing to sell soon means 5K would have it.

Pics of camcover

 

Will tax help this sale? Theres around 3wk mot left on car, i still have it insured, if theres any serious interest i will tax it for the buyer so its a drive away, for 5k cash. Contact me 2 let me know.

 

really not being funny mate and i would of thought this would have sold but i wouldnt touch a car for 5grand with 3wks mot,got bit by a rs at 1500 like that,i didnt pay for mine until the bloke had took it for a mot,all imo of course,still a nice looking car.

 

Hear wot ur saying mate, but thats why ive lowered price of the car takin these into consideration. If thats wots putting people off, i will arrange yrs ticket also if thats wot people want 4 reassurance.

 

mot wouldnt bother me,if your having a good look over the car youd know if anythings up,then you can negotiate price accordingly

 

Same for me Col, but can understand the people travelling a bit that seem unsure and the fact its for sale just before mot is up, its just coincidence as after storing it for winter i decided i had to sell and have also lowered price for these reasons. Being busy at work during the day, then working at nite makes it difficult for me to arrange and thought people might jump at the money off for the sale, but as people are now showing more interest i will make a point of arranging mot and possibly tax next week, but price stays at Ł5200 with these added.

 

Think you'll be better off breaking it.Me and my mates viewed it and it doesnt look like the pics that youve got posted up anymore,its a shame really,did look nice when the pics were taken.Maybe thats why it hasnt sold.Good luck all the same.

 

Why break a good shell with original panels date stamped etc? Unless someone wants the shell which ive had enquiries about, will happen if it doesnt sell complete thou! To be fair, ur mate expected a mint Saph for under 5K, doesnt happen mate. Car never was said to be mint or any description of that and photos are of last year before it went in garage for winter, so the car stands like that. There is sum peeling on rear door strip, about an inch or 2 maybe which i will now have looked at, and front splitter could do with a paint because its stonechipped, again i will have this done. If you look closely at photos you will see the splitter shows this! States in the ad about blister on rear arch which is still solid and easily repaired without cutting arches out etc. Small pieces of trim inside, like electric window switch surround is loose as clip is broke, glovebox is removeable to gain access to ecu behind it, all minor things that can easily be repaired or replaced for buttons and bearing in mind, the car is 16-17 yr old now.

Major points are shell has never been welded, original front wings and looks like boot floor with no creases etc. Engine starts and runs great, uses no water at all, slight oil seep from rocker cover which is the gasket, boosts fine, no smoke, knocks bangs etc, strong rebuilt gearbox and recent turbo with reciept, drives great, solid and tight on the road. Is a useable Cosworth and lots of plus points that was never described as "mint". Definately much better than a few i looked at before buying this one, and a very good base to take it further if somebody wants to.

 

now had you told him all this on the fone or had put it in your ad the poor sod woulnt have drove up to glasgow from oxford,all you said was it doesnt need anything,just tax,as stated in your ad,you kind of added to the list now.gloveboxes are removable but not supposed to come off in your hand when you open them,you forgot to mention the indicator switch is broken too,or are you supposed to keep it held when indicating to turn right?your engine bay pic doesnt show it covered in oil,battery cover and turbo cover missing too,so it aint exactly how it was before getting garaged up.telling him all this before the viewing wouldve saved him an 800 mile 13 hour trek,which anyone can understand why his not happy.if your car was worth5k it wouldve gone mate.he picked up a2owner 4x4 cos next day from lancashire,mint with full history,was advertised on p*****heads,the black one,j 1991,standard except for stainless exhaust,any one see the ad?got it for way less than 5k.ok its two years older but doesnt need anything.being older youd think it should need more doin to it than a 93 L reg shouldnt it?
anyway good luck with the sale,if you do decide to break im interseted in the alloys.cheeRS
forgot to add you had problems uploading current pics to forward to his email,yet the the rocker cover pics uploaded fine?weird that werent it.

 

Your mate phoned me saying he wanted to buy the car with no questions asked, only said if engine is ok, so if he would have bothered asking if it was a showroom example i would've pointed that out to him. And i dont remember the glovebox ever stopping me from driving the car, it still locks in position, again a small job to repair which i never got round to but definately doesnt affect me or anybody from actually driving the car. Ive owned a few RS's now and yet to own one that didnt have some trim loose, or broken etc, just how a car ages.
As for a pic of the rocker, had it done last year so its the same pic from when the last pics of the car were done, which are the same on all the ad's, and as it wasnt included in the sale, was not part of the original ad. The pic is on my photobucket, which is why i could upload it onto this site, but your mate wanted me to email him and it was taking ages to upload on Yahoo so sent him a link to the pics from all the other ads like P/heads which show more photos as he said he'd seen ad on Gumtree with only one pic!.
I actually have no gripes with Akrim, he was straight forward on the day and commented on it being a "lovely" car, his words if you bother to speak to him, but not for him, which is fair enough.
