FOR SALE quickly or it'll be scrapped :-(

Post by Tecar »

NEEDS SAVING URGENTLY or it's off to the scrap man

We were rung by the owners son about this. Not sure how much he wants - probably the same as scrap value.
The following description is from the owner:

It's a 1992 J reg BX Meteor 1.6 petrol automatic in Graphite Grey.
It has had alloy wheels from a GTi fitted at some point and a black bumper.
It's not untidy, but it has been off the road for 2 years and not run for a while.
They've taken the battery out to prevent the car being stolen, but also have since lost the keys.

The car is in Sunbury.

Please pm me for contact details


Cheers
Kris

Thats a shame, I think the lack of keys may make it rather unsaveable.

Any mention of price?

Getting into the car without damage is very easy and can be explained by PM if anyone's going to look at it. The ignition is a little more difficult but there are a couple of options!

You could always give him a ring and see how much he's after for it.
(forgot to mention that this is on the CCC forum too with a contact name and phone number for the guy)

Sorry - I passed on all the information that was given to me.

I haven't seen the car, so all the details have been passed on from the owner (or his son).

I agree, it's not that difficult to move without a key...

A chisel will modify the steering column enough to remove the lock barrel, and I have here an ignition switch with no barrel on it, so just plug it in and no need to hotwire...

I bought my GT with the key snapped in the ignition, not the same i accept but i just rang the local autolocksmith & made it clear i wouldn't require a receipt, cost me £50 for removal of the broken bit & 3 keys.

Got to be worth a try.

A few years ago A tenant left a Citroen AX in garage.
I went to my friendly 2CV / Citroen Garage...

Supply them the chassis number (or Registration number) A few days later - one key....
£15 - much cheaper and easier than even breaking in!!!

Or just use a centre punch to undo the snap bolts holding the ignition lock on, very easy.
