got to go to portsmouth to collect my new 91 4x4 cossie as im doing a swap with my rev3 mr2 turbo.
only thing as its on guernsey plates i need to reregister the cossie and mot it and pay tax on it.

were both paying for our own shipping which is 110 quid.
the mr2 is lovely to drive but it just aint me.
do u lot think im getting a good deal

the sierra is supposed to be very clean 91 4x4 with leather. and 82k

heres pics of mr2 and the cossie im collecting

 

missing front splitter

 

i didint even notice

 

and the front splitter is important why?

Guernsey is small so unless its been to the uk before, chances are its not really been thrashed.

 

its been in guernsey 11 years

so am i getting a good deal?

 

front splitters aint cheap thats all,looks ok like but hard to tell in pics...

saying that think mr2`s are fairly cheap these days and saphs got to be worth Ł3500-Ł4500

 

front splitters are fairly cheap mate as not many people want standard splitters on thers anymore

i have a good nic one sat in my back garden as i dont need it due to upgrade of a rouse item

 

The Saph looks much better than your MR2 - go for it

Although i thought the saph would have had the later latice type wheels on it, might be wrong though.

 

Sounds good mate. Gotta be worth than the 3.5 you had your MR2 up for.

 

i just hate the thought of not seeing it but he has assured me its is mint he said it needs a new headlight wiper.

 

You have to be careful though, one person's 'mint' is another person's 'a rusty old taxi'

 

Looks okay in the photos but the term 'mint' is a very subjective one. Good luck anyway.

 

I think importantly..

The saph will sell easier if you wanna fuck it off quick and it will also break easier and for more money.

So yes- the right thing.

AJ, IIRC the Sharktooth alloys were 92 on, possibly the same time the dash changed slightly.

 

I'd often wondered if mine should have one and I'm now guessing it should

Sapph looks nice and it looks like you got a good deal

 

ive never drove a 4x4 ive had 2wd all my life.
i sooo love the mr2 acceleration is incredible ill get used to a cossie again,

ive got to get uk mot and tax on it now
and got to pay tax on it

 

How many cars in how many days?

 

i sold my cossie got a civic vti didint really like that too much then got a mr2 which i now have to get a cossie again

 

Was in the UK from when it was bought til 1995 I think,plenty of straight roads over here Just hope it was kept away from the sea air!

Good Luck

 

Looks like a good deal to me!

And Moose130 does quality reproductions of a rouse like front splitter as seen on Mrs Frogs and Eagles[?] cars I believe

Mrs Frogs is on the right [and thats Frogs on the left,]:



And Eagles:


Plus I think they're only around Ł100

 

u are correct
thats the only factor i have hope it has but suppose it would be hard over there lol.
well i collect it tommorrow

 

How much will it cost to register the car over here, or is it just red tape?

 

well its about
Ł35 for registering it
Ł40 for mot
Ł90 Tax
import duties dont know yet???

 

just a word of warning ,alot of scams are happening with people selling cars in the little islands off our shore, so just be carefull.

 

what sort of scams.
i have spoke to this bloke severtal times by phone and he seems all ok.

 

LOL made me chuckle! never heard of any scams coming from the Channel Islands before thats for sure!, to start with were not poor lol, got a thriving Finance Industry.

 

nah im pretty sure its all ok anyway i get the cossie before he gets the mr2 so ill make sure everyhting is up to scratch
