White phase 1 16v - any initial forum interest?

Post by Matt H »

Just a quick exploratory post really, and I thought I should at least offer it up here ahead of going to eBay, pistonheads etc...

The time has come to part ways with the white Phase 1, due to finally finding my 'dream-spec' black phase 2, and the need for something a bit newer and dependable for the daily commute (plus I've felt a bit cruel using the 16v during winter months).

With a full ticket and some of the little niggly problems sorted, I'd be asking for £1200. It's been well looked after and had a fair amount of money spent on it (More than I care to think about :oops: ). Just a few weeks ago it had a new alternator and the cambelt/waterpump/tensioners were done last year, as well as a full set of silicone coolant hoses. I will write a more comprehensive description later...

However... I really need to get it shifted reasonably quickly, and would consider selling it 'as is' for less money in the next week or so. MoT is up in mid-April, and it's taxed until the end of March. The car is still in daily use, and is ready to go, with no major problems.

Niggles include things like lazy central locking actuators, lazy drivers side window and a slow front wiper. I also need to paint the front bumper as I fitted a brand new unpainted bumper (the old one had been badly painted in the past, and had been scuffed in the past by the looks of things). It also recently lost it's rear exhaust hanger, and will need the appropriate repairs doing.

This is the most recent pic I could find... As you can see it cleans up okay :)

The car will come with the best set of Speedlines I have, with good tyres etc - I'm keeping the OZs :lol:

How does £900 sound? Any questions, fire away!

Rear corrosion is not too bad, like I said it will be repaired pre- proper sale and have been quoted about £150 to do. Like everything, it's probably worse than it looks, but not something that worries me too much.

The fact any prospective BX 16v owner will have to come to terms with is fighting rust. It is a 24 year old car after all! This one is in fair shape, probably one of the better ones, especially for a phase 1. More importantly its usable - and has been in regular use.

FWIW I've driven this for around 50 miles about 18 months back - it went well and felt pretty tight :D If I was after one then I wouldn't have any problem with what Matt is asking.

PM sent.
*Update* not a problem with the car, a bit of a problem with timing and money/commitments. Just to let everyone know this car is hugely appealing, and at a good price, so do what I can't now do, and give it a good home!

with respect Abdi, whilst I have no problem with you asking for parts, unless you have a direct interest in buying this car, perhaps a single wanted post would be preferable to making the same post over several threads.

I'd be tempted to just ban the guy! His lack of forum etiquette has already been pointed out, yet still these spam posts persist. I'd have thought the correct way to get the sellers attention would be via PM?

My country regulation not allow to import used cars that is why we need support who can supply used or new parts for BX & CX, not to make a spam and annoying everybody here in the forum but really need the parts especially for the hydraulic.

I am very sorry if this annoying you guys.

I understand that you need to repair the cars you have because you cannot import, but then why post on a throead for a car for sale???

I know that some very large forums are so active that it's members will never manage to read posts as quickly as they are posted (just look at the Retrobikes forum!), but we are not one of those forums, and most of us will read every post. All you're doing is alienating your potential suppliers by making us read the same thing over and over again!

I think that would be a tad unfair at this stage, but yes, Abdi my old china, one ad is plenty, really.
We are but small in number so trying some French based forums may be a better bet for many things.
