Well the time has come round quickly, its time to sell my be-loved cossie.

Its a 1989 2wd sierra saphire cosowrth in crystal blue. The car has done 77500 miles, but the engine has only done roughly 17000 miles since it was built in 2003 by M A developments.

Engine spec is as follows:
Mahle low compression pistons and ring set.
New big end and small end bearings.
Big end bolts all RP.
W.R.C multilayer head gasket.
High flow oil pump.
ARP stud and nut kit.
Re-worked head port and polished.
Bosch 044 fuel pump.
3 Bar Map sensor.
Dark green injectors.
Garret t34/48, this was re-built by cr turbo's less than 500 miles ago.
RS500 style intercooler.
Silicone houses.
Large K & N.
Bailey oil breather kit.
Bailey header tank.
Bailey power steering tank.
4WD inlet.
Airtec alloy rad only been on for 2 months.
CW looms engine loom with intergrated fuel pump loom.
Full 3" mongoose exhaust system, majority of heat wrapped.
Recently had both the alternator and starter motor re-furbed.
Recent battery.
Renewed all earths/negs with a boat kit.
Group A coil.
Recent phase sensor.
Harvey Gibbs chip running 27psi dropping down to 23 psi as the revs increase, this chip is supposed to be good for nearly 350 bhp but i think i its about 330bhp.

The car has been maintaned loads since i bought the car in feb this year, it did have a small missfire issue when i first got it. I re-placed loads of parts on the car to rectify it. The car is taxed and moted.

Outside has had the 4x4 bonnet fitted aswell as boot and petrol cap, it does have the puller installed for this though. Its got 17" Kahn rsr's on it but they are now painted black. Also has morette headlights but i can supply standards if wanted. Also has the x-sport Rouse splitter.

Interior is in good condition usual wear on drivers bolster. Has a twin pillar pod gauge with boost and oil pressure neither are that accurate to be honest they were installed by previous owner and only cheap ones. Just fitted new tailor made car matts.

Just the bad bits now.
There are a few small patches of rust, both rear arches but it is not alot at all. Also round the sunroof there are 3 small patches, i will put pics of these up over the weekend.
Rev counter works when it wants too, it must be the clocks as all new wiring has been fitted. I will supply a set of clocks with the car, i aint gonna change it as i am too hand fisted at times.

Reason for sale is i got made redundant and have a new job that is not as well paid and i was only just managing to keep it on the road before. Also the other half is pregnant its very early days but i need to get all my finances right before hand.

Right here is a few pics with more to recent ones to follow over the weekend. Also ones that show the problem area's.






I aint sure what its worth, i know it owes me lots and lots but its been worth it. So i was thinking £6500 ovno.

Thanks for looking.

 

good luck with the sale, but i couldnt shift mine for that amount and theres no rust on it

Matthew

 

Cheers bud, always room for movement on the price.

Also forgot to mention it has gaz gold coilovers on it aswell.

 

Couple of engine bay pics.

 

wat area you in bud

 

I am in poole in dorset bud, suppose i had better put it on my location.

 

Very nice saff, GLWTS

 

i dont normally like that colour but that looks great.

 

Spent alot of time on this car and it's a great example , first to see will take it away.




P.s steve , noooooooo don't do it lol

 

Very nice cossie m8 dont think it will be around for long GLWTS

 

Cheers guys.

And loader get your cash out then you can own and i can drive it whenever lol.

 

One recent one, shall get more up tomorrow.

 

That's a tidy looking car mate good luck with sale.

 

Right all the final pics.

Engine bay pics excuse the water marks i aint got round to giving it a polish yet.





Couple of the interior, also just dropped the wires down to show the custom loom.



And some final ones of the car.

 

Price drop as i have reduced the price on pistonheads to £6500.

On here its £6250 ovno.

 

Anyone for a honest cossie

 

i normally not a masive fan of crystal blue, but this looks spot on mate, its a credit to you.

you probably know this already, but this is the wrong time of year to sell a saff - if you can, tuck it away for the winter and re-advertise feb/mar time next year

either way GLWS

 

I made the same mistake years ago and the daily saph cossy I had ,only had two call before Christmas ( one of them brought it) but after Christmas the phone was off the hook with calls for it

 

Yeah I agree defo wrong time to sell. Trouble is the insurance runs out next Feb and i wont insure it again, wobt be able to afford too.

 

agreed wrong time to sell also i know you dont want to be spending money on it but get the rust sorted and you will sell it on easy after the new year,people get scared of a little bit of work dont ask me why.

 

Yeah i was thinking about getting the rust sorted but i think for the spec its still well worth the money. Plus i bet not everyone has been as honest as i am when selling a car.

 

Be patient steve , I know the feeling when you make the desision in your head you just want it gone. This is a solid car and will sell to the first genuine person to view .

 

I think your mad to sell it matey.
Is it still on ebay.

Just keep it and get the rust cured on it.

 

Yeah its on eBay as a classified add buddy. Don't do the whole bidding thing.
To be honest if it sells then happy days, if it don't then i shall put it back up for sale next year

 

Last price drop £5995 ovno.

 

Weekend bump, gonna let it run out on ebay as a classified add and if it aint gone by then i shall keep it till next year.

 

Tuesday bump

 

I have seen the light and decided to keep her till next year, went out for a drive and i just cant face getting rid.

Just need to find some extra cash now.

 

Good choice Steve.

 

Cheers trev, it was the starting to buy bits again aswell i think so i can blamne you a little dude lol.

 

I don't mind taking the blame for someone keeping their Cossie, Cossie owners are becoming a rare breed now, don't want us to become extinct.

Have to say your car looks fantastic Steve.

 

Cheers trev, hopefully i should be having a deal on some 5 spoke comps in the near future too.

 

Very cool, although for some reason I really love these on a mint set of standard lattice wheels as well.

 

I do have a set that need a re-furb, but i did have them on this one while i re done the kahns. It just did not feel asnice on the road felt all over the place on the back end, but i am going to polybush the whole back axle. That might have been some of the reason.

 

im glad your keeping it mate ,its a real nice colour and great spec

 

Cheers James
