Current customer rating: (3) based on 81 votes
Overall this car has been very good runner that has never let me down. Starts and runs completely fine and to the best of my knowledge has no problems mechanically. Selling the car as never use it anymore after buying another vehicle. Due to the age of the car it isn't perfect and has some mostly minor issues listed below. Driver door doesn't open from the inside. Electric window needs to be rolled down to use handle on outside to get out of car. This is the main reason for the low starting price.Main key does not open passenger side door or boot. Boot can be opened using the dashboard button (this is little temperamental in cold weather however, but does work after few presses)The spare key doesn't open either of the doors but does work on the boot.Cigarette lighter port doesn't work and the ignition button is missingAerial was unscrewed and stolen so radio is currently useless. The CD player works fine.The interior is fairly good for car of it's age. Body work isn't too good, lot of scratches but no dents. few rust patches on the inside of the back wheel arches and on the bottom of the drivers side back door. Plastic back bumper has broke away little from the securing parts but is barely noticeable and has been like it since bought the car. Rear windscreen wiper occasionally sticks The last MOT in Aug 2016 had advisories for worn front brake pads. The front brake pads were replaced in Nov 2016. The nearside front Tyre may need replacing this MOT or the next. The offside front tyre was replaced July 16 and cost £50. Also when opening the drivers door you need to twist the key counter clockwise first then clockwise. Once you know this though there will be no problem opening the door. The odometer was reset in 2007 2008 and currently reads 41000 miles, the actual mileage is around 83447. As you can see the car is far from perfect, hence the low initial price it is on here for. It does drive and start without any issue, it has always been reliable and has never broken down. All service history present. Fairly good car if you can ignore the untidy bodywork and door problems. Good little runabout or for spare and repairs. Cash on collection or can pay via Paypal. Auction may be ended at anytime due to the car also being advertised elsewhere.
