Hi guys,

After owning my car for almost 2 years, i've now come to the point that I need to sell. After moving into a new property i've found that I no longer have the time or money to do what I had planned with her.

Since the sale in August 2011, the car has only been used on short journeys once or twice a week and a couple of longer runs to shows.

I bought the car with every intention of being a nippy run about but this lasted about 6 months before I changed the seats out for a pair of Cobra Evolution Pro's and harnesses to hold me in better on a couple of track days I had planned. Things then (as they do) quickly spiralled into a modifying frenzy.

The car has been regularly serviced by myself every 6 months with receipts kept in the extensive receipt folder.

The car has been detailed by a close friend of mine to a very high standard 3 times a year or before every major show. This was until January this year when I fancied a little bit of a change and swapped out the classic Imperial blue paint for Porsche Grey Black with 'off white' interior. A bit of a daring move but from the response the car has had at Central Day and throughout meets, it seems to have paid off. The engine bay is the only part of the car which hasn't been painted due to me wanting to wait until the end of this year to take the engine out to do this, I have 5ltrs of Grey Black that will be included in the sale.

Although not a full out and out spec compared to others, this spec has done me proud over the near 2 years and has proved to be reliable without the compromise of performance.

The car has not long tipped 100,000 miles and has just had a new head gasket, head bolts, cam belt, tensioner, oil and filter change, inlet and exhaust gaskets and the hybrid turbo has been completely refurbished.

BAD POINTS -

Every car has them and I would rather these points are raised now than on an inspection.

The front wheels have chipped powder coat on the lips.
There is a small crack and a scratch in the front bumper on the n/s, unfortunately I won't have the time to have this repaired before sale so I am willing to compromise on price for this.

I will be looking for £8750 ono, obviously i'm a realist and open to offers but anybody who wants to offer a far cry from this price, please don't waste my time or your own.

I am looking for a quick sale.

The car is located in Dartford, Kent (approx 5 minutes from the QE2 bridge).

No test drives unless you can provide proof of insurance and the car will not leave me until I either have cash in my hand or funds have cleared into my bank account.

 

lovely looking motor there matey. I'm on with trying to sell mine at the minute. Prices seem to be at rock bottom. Good luck with the sale. Hopefully you'll get an offer not to far from your asking price.

 

Can you put up some pictures of the inside and engine bay please.

Thanks

 

I'd say with a set of ap's it'd be worth what your asking, realistically if you want it sold I'd go about £750 cheaper at £8750. Very nice car none the less.

 

thats my ideal frs lol with a interior bk in it !!!

if only you wanted a vw passat tdi , yam r1 and some cash lol

 

Beefy its awesome, had a good look around it at Pod Someone is going to get a nice Focus with a different twist to the norm (lucky gits)

 

Good luck with the sale tel

 

Cheers Matty, once all the work is done i'll do a proper ad for it and some jazzy pics. Needs to be gone by the end of next month now.



Hiya mate, i'll get some pics by the end of the week for you.



Cheers, I'll see how things go at this price as although i'll never get back a fraction of what i've spent on it, I feel it's a good price for what is on the car and the work that's gone in.



Beef, i'd love an R1 but won't be doing my bike licence until next year now mate. I've still got the rear half of the interior and the front door cards. Wouldn't need much to put it all back in



Cheers Sinbad, it's had a hell of a lot of work, the car just isn't right for what I need now after moving house etc. Will be a lovely car for someone though.



Lee, I think you should buy this for Sarah and sell that shoddy Vauxhall on

 

Ok guys, the car will be ready for viewing from 27th May and is now unfortunately for me, definitely up for sale.

 

Cheers Hayley. Needs must though and i'll be doing alot more mileage now so need something more wallet friendly and also got no time to do shows, track days etc.

 

Saw this at central day looked very nice

 

I had a look at this at Central day, really nice car and the colour really suits it

I want the wheels lol

 

GLWS mate.

 

looks realy nice car wish i had the money

 

I also had a good look around it as we'll and now want to paint my escos this colour. My next car will be a focus and I don't want a blue one. Lol
I love stripped out motors

 

best get my saff advertised this is right up my street stunning car mate.

 

Loving it Tel colour looks great!

 

Nice looking car steep money for the miles tho

 

The mileage is high but it's been kept in a way to reflect the price. Regular servicing, not wanted for a thing.

Plus recently had the head skimmed, new head gasket, oil and filter, cam belt, tensioners and the turbo completely rebuilt.

I'd be more than happy to take a Clio 182 as PX too

 

Really liking that mate.great cars these aswell for the prices they are at.need to get some more pics up of interior etc.

 

Cheers Steve. I'll be getting some pics of everything this weekend

 

Just a couple of extra pics from after a clean last night. Price has now been reduced to £8750 ono and I have updated the advert.

Cheers guys, Tel

 

Blimey tel , i didnt even know you had this ?

Shows how long its been mate

 

Hi Dave, been a very long time mate!

I've had her near on 2 years now but circumstances have changed and need a quick sale. She'll be going on eBay this week, not what I wanted but needs must

 

Good luck mate .

 

If anyone is seriously interested in the car then I'm willing to listen to offers.

The car needs to go quick to fund another car I have my eye on.

Cheers, Tel

 

All the best with the sale Terry, lovely car and always been looked after

 

Thanks mate! You done a dream of keeping it well before I bought it, just time to move on now.

It's on ebay and ends next wednesday http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1610540326...84.m1555.l2649

 

Less than 3 hours left guys. It's at 7k with no reserve.

 

Bargain at £7600.

 

That was a bloody bargain and a half!

 

Yep sounds like a bargain to me. Especially when it started out at £8750.

 

It would've been a bargain but the guy dropped out. Need it sold now, so if it went for £7600 I'd be happy

 

Hate eBay time wasters.

 

Seem to be quite a few of them Paul!

 

Lovely car, credit to you. i'm looking for a focus rs track car but i'm a little short of 7600, DOH

 

Cheers mate. It's a great car and obviously for a limited market but it'd be a great car for someone!

 

I keep coming back to look at this!!! but need to convince myself to sell the M3 to buy this! could it be used as a daily driver though???

Any interior pics???

 

Hi Dan,

I used it as my only car for a little while with no issues, starts on the button first time etc. The coilovers have adjustable damping so can be adjusted to what suits you.

This is also going to be in PF mag this month for a full feature

I'll get some interior pics for you this evening

 

Cheers mate, if you can send them to dw5397@hotmail.com and take as many as you can that would be great!
