I love the fact we got a mention in the ad. Quality.
It was a rare factory option. "Baseball interior" they call it. The stitching on the seats is supposed to replicate a baseball/baseball glove
It was originally advertised last month on adverts for €3k. I'd guess the current seller got it in the 2.6/7ish range before advertising it for €14k a few days later
I actually like that TT and the seats,very unusual.
Obviously you couldn't buy off that crackpot no matter what the price though.
There's at least 4 other TTs with those seats on donedeal right now. Nothing special.
Not saying you're wrong but I was on the look out for a TT up til recently and I'd never seen them before,either really cool or tacky,I'm leaning towards cool.
I like em a lot. I like different though.
15k???
Has to be a piss take
Must be a typo - one too many zeros. €1500 sounds more like it.
Its shocking the number of people who seem to struggle with figures in the thousands. It is a pretty important aspect of the ad.
Rust was a severe problem on them Mercedes W210.
The father in law has a 2006 c180 in great condition with lots of bells and whistles and I reckon that’s worth 2 or 3 grand so no idea where that clown is getting €15k from, vintage me arse
Madness
Are they even worth €1500 in working order?
Maybe one that's clean with decent mileage to the right person it would probably be worth 1500. I'd imagine the market for one of those is fairly small
Don’t know how to post a link but this :-
"Vinny" needs his head seeing to if he genuinely thinks someone is giving hime 20k for that.
Detailed Info
Description
This car was parked Up in dry storage as seen in the pictures since 1992, it has not been touched started nor has the storage unit been opened up until three weeks ago.
This car is one of a kind , totally original , the same as the day it was bought and left the garage .
It would be easier to find hens teeth then to find one of these Citroens in this pristine condition.
A true classic, when taken by someone with time and dedication to wash the dust off it and minimum effort to restore it , the skys the limit in what price this car would achieve at auction.
Must be seen to be believed such is the condition after all these years.
Will only sell to a good home , so any potential tyre kickers it def won’t suit you so no point calling.
As he says, the sky is the limit...and minimum effort included in price 😁
Time to close the thread.
We've found the dreamer of the century, never mind the feckin year.
I dont know where to start with that one.
It's a 1990, so as a very new car it was parked up in a shed (Vinny has a lose grasp of dry storage aswell as reality) and left there for 30 years? 75k miles was a lot to put up on a car at that time in two years also.
A lot more questions than answers with this one,there's a lot of mad eejits out there.
I'd probably risk a pint with the bould Vinny but no way would Id be buying a car off him.
I was waiting for someone to post it. I'd say something if it was something special.... am I missing something?
Never got an mot but the tax was due in September 99 so it spend a lot longer on the road than 2 years
It’s a long time since these were 3 grand
Bonus points for being misery spec with that bag of spanners Endura engine.
That's mad I was just thinking about those fiesta engines today. Is that the engine with the push rods? I still do not know how a push rod engine works in a 4 cylinder. I know how it works in a push rod V8 as the cam shaft is down just above the crank.
It was stone age tech even in 1997.
They kept that engine for sale here until they pensioned off the original Ka in 2008.
That generation Fiesta was horribly outdated even at launch, you’d want to see the praise it got in the UK motoring press, just because it is mildly entertaining to drive. It was a reskin of the 1989 model.
Oh the memories...
As a proud owner of 98 Fiesta in the past I doubt I would ever want anything as refined as this one.
It was the same engine with the gearbox lever reminding me of the gearbox in Hungarian buses being used in the 80's in Poland.
It was just 10-12 years old at that time and it was falling apart, including all plastic trims and handles.
Mirror adjusters, door handles, you name it.
Still available to see on Google Street View :)
I bought a 96 of them in about 2004 and it was a bucket of scrap. It passed the test the day before I bought it but the headlights didn't seem right so got a friend to check them at work. Turned out they were both badly off focus and both of the adjusters were bust so couldnt be sorted. Got a second hand set very cheap tho. I'm pretty sure there was a brown envelope or a favour involved in the test cos the lights were so bad there's no way it could have passed it as they were.
The driver's seat back/forward mechanism was dodgy too so you'd shoot forward if you braked hard.
Sold it after 6 months and only lost €100 on what I paid and spent. Lad I sold it too was converting them into small vans and I saw it around a few times in the next few years, once in a car park and the back seats were removed. Easily the worst car I ever owned.
Good old go'ers all the same. Chassis usually riddled with the tin worm.
Nine and a half grand
