Default peugeot 205 1.9 gti SOLD SOLD SOLD

putting my pug up for sale

ive owned it about 7 months now and its been used for daily duties in that time and has never let me down and been a great fun car to own just want to free up some cash for my mk2 escort im building
the car is in good condition and isnt at all rotten or in need of welding like a lot of the early 205's do

its only had 3 registered keeper and one of them had it for over 18 years, i know the guy he loved the car and looked after it very well
its covered about 150,000 miles and last year had an 80,000 mile engine fitted due to the previous owner snapping a couple of headbolts whilst trying to do a headgasket change. the cambelt was changed prior to fitting the engine and it has covered about 3000 miles since
it has had the gearbox rebuilt about 1500 miles ago due to it shitting itself lol! and a new clutch was fitted at the same time

interior is in good condition no rips or tears in the seats or carpet but could do with a good valet as i am a mechanic and do drive it in my work clothes and boots!

the bodywork is tidy for the age with no dents but obviously with its age it has a few stonechips and light scratches here and there

its got an aftermarket spoiler on it which i like but some may not
its got a stainless backbox on which isnt overly loud and sounds quite nice in my opinion
since ive owned it ive done a full service
new discs and pads front and rear
both front wheel bearings
front droplinks
dizzy cap and rotor arm
new battery
fresh longlife antifreeze

bad points, not much but im being honest about the car
gearchanges are a little sloppy but this is common with 205's, it does have adjustable linkages but ive never really messed with them as it does go in the gears easy enough

clutch biting point is a bit higher than it should be, this is due to a small metal rod on the release arm needing replacing, the original fell out and i had to guess at the length it should be when i made one to replace it, its never really bothered me as its fine to drive but could be easily sorted if you wanted to

dashboard has a few cracks which again is common on the phase 1 dashboards

idle speed is a little high, it could probably benefit from a setup of the dizzy, idle speed etc again its not bothered me as it starts fine from cold and drives fine no cutting out or stalling etc

its got around 7 months or more mot i cant remember off top of my head and currently has no tax
im after £1600

I bought one of these in 09! Bog standard 1.9 and i loved it! Then i ruined it by fitting bucket seats, gti6 engine etc. I liked it standard! This one looks really good and the spoiler looks cool! 2k is a good price for a car that is only gonna go up in value glwts
