FIXERUPPER of the week/day

Thought I'd chance my arm before sending it to the scrapper.
Anyone interested in a 99 Punto? I'ts a 5dr, black and is the 1.2 60bhp engine.
Has just under 70k on the clock, no rot from what I could tell.
It however has been parked up since 2009. So it would need a new timing belt and water pump. A good service and a new battery.
Obviously it has no NCT.
If anyone is interested in it then drop me a PM. Those who know my story know I work a lot outside of Ireland so if anyone does want to take it off of my hands then they are more than welcome on the 11th of October.
100e takes it, basically what I was offered by the scrapper.

When is the test due?

Ehm.. Test out 2 years

Thought that was a mistake in the ad.
You would want to stick it through the test anyway and see what the story is.

agreed - add the test price to the asking price -

would sell much handier with a fail sheet asking 900 than it would for 850 and no fail sheet

2006"Saab 9-5
Test out but not sure if it needs much to get it through..
E1950

A dealer selling a car and not willing to NCT it? that says it all...

Change the disks and tighten the handbrake ~€100
Clean the sump outside teh roadway into the NCT testing center and put it through the test.
Re-advertise for €1100 with better looking fail sheet (if it fails at that point).

Sold for €700..

I just wanted rid of her to be honest. The handbrake issue, I suspect may have been slightly larger than I thought. Back left calliper was making a slight clicking noise when the breaks where touched.

TBH I would have been fairly annoyed it the twat that bought it off me didnt take it. As soon as he got into the car the traction control was switched off, he then proceded to hit 135kph in a 60 zone. Did a doughnut outide my local before doing a burnout on my driveway. Arsehole!

Sorely tempted by this one... Could be a lot of things though :eek:

Sorry, but when i read your previous post I laughed too! Epic test drive.
Is she quick? - Check.
Does she do rings? - Check.
Is the clutch and diff ok? - Check.
Did I scare the life out of the owner on the test drive? - Check.
:pac:

If someone was test driving my car, I would encourage them to by all means give it revs in the right circumstances but If some dickhead sat in and started abusing the car straight off , he would be f*cked out on his hole fairly fast.

might be a handy fix - looks clean, and has test

That's a clean looking wagon, apart from that little wrinkle on the back bumper, drivers side.

Anyone know what they're like? How likely is the underpower issue to be the boost sensor?

Looking for a new project and this keeps catching my attention. Other than the usual suspects of maf/coils/leads, what are the known issues with the 1.8 zee?

But then, does anyone even want an 11 year old mondeo :eek:

Piston rings give hassle in them. Burning oil and poor compression makes the emmisions tricky to pass. If I was going for one I'd get the TDDI 2.0 duratorque. Fairly decent diesel engine.

Micra, taxed, serviced, seems in good nick, asking €375

Out of NCT last 5 months

Good make a tidy profit on this one with minimal work!
