Motors Chat Thread Round 4

It'd be a shame to break it up, but to be fair its days are numbered with the massive tax rate.

Gets me thinking, would I make anything breaking the Jag? I'm sure I'd only sell it for under €500. Don't know if there'd be much call for body parts and the likes.

Now I like the sound of this :cool:

Potentially more to be made that way rather than selling a whole car

Asking 13000 purchased for 11.5k after a prolonged negotiation!

Sounds decent depending on the asking. What year is it, mileage and where you get it from? Did it have a decent history?

Yeah 2.0D

Was curious so found em on rimmerbros website, uk got them too.

On a side note, I checked the site on the new price on the 17 inch sport wheels on my S.

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-XR843333

€1,824 inc VAT

That's not even main dealer.

I'm guessing the boggo spec was for fleet purchases and the like.... Unlike here :pac:

That's eye watering that price :eek:

Saabrina passed the nct today. A glorious day since it broke down on the way to the test 6 weeks ago and I was told it was an economic write off.

Another victory for us bangernomic-ites,

I got 1.5k discount on my 535. Depends on the car and how keenly it is priced (and often how much it owes the dealer)

link?

Lads when buying a car off a dealer for cash what sort of discount can I hope to get? If they want 15k could i make an offer of say 13.5k? How much scope for discount do dealers allow?

My resonator delete cost 60 quid! And being honest part of me now wants more loud! So i may get the second resonator removed too.

If the plumes of smoke ever clear, we might find them and ask

I must say im in the same boat want a bit more volllome on the exhaust. Need to hear the 6 cyl all the time too ardennes

any downsides? rough price for it to be done? and front or rear res?

Alanstrainor

Rear resonator removal is the only way. Even getting a new exhaust will be louder than a single resonator delete.

Do ya really want to sacrifice 30bhp? :pac:

Hal1

Get a cheap mic off ebay. Put in engine bay area and run it to the line-in on your HU. Job done :pac:.

Open a window then

Personally I don't think its loud enough until pedestrians are checking themselves for bullet holes as you pass
