Very cheap TZD hatchback, taxed and tested.

Post by cavmad »

It's the one I bought from Bud on here. Basically taxed until end of May, and about 10 months MOT I think (will check date and confirm). Not without it's problems namely:

Height correctors knackered, might free off I suppose but wouldn't like to say for sure. It will, or would, go to normal height though.

Bodywork, erm, 'challenged': various dents and scrapes, one wing slightly different colour.

Worse thing is it's developed a leak of epidemic proportions from somewhere just in front of the n/s/r wheel. It lobbed virtually all the LHM out in one fell swoop.

Ignition goes funny now and then and you have to fiddle with the key to et it to start but regular use of the car seems to stop this happening.

Driver's seat back is knackered.

And probably a few other things too though it fires up ok and pulls well.

Has a towbar with twin electrics and een got headlight protectors (though one is slightly broken) and a radio cassette of some cheapness but it works!

Bearing in mind current scrap prices are through the roof plus it'd yield loads of good parts I think the asking price is very fair as it would honestly fetch more money over the bridge. However in the spirit of BXC I wouldn't want this to happen if someone could make use of the car.

I would like £125 for the car including the road tax which I think is fair and it's what I paid for it.

Obviously it'll need transporting away but happy to help load it up or if you can fix the leak here yourself that's good with me.

Can deliver within about 30 miles for a reeasonable fee (£1.00 per mile each way).

Big bonus: if one of the regulars on here wants it you don't even have to pay me straight away if you're skint. Take the car and pay me when you can, within reason of course. Sorry to new memners but as I'm sure you'll understand I can only offer takie now pay later to regular members/users.

Stuart has first refusal and if he doesn't want it it's open to the first person who wants it, I don't think i can be much fairer than all of the above.

It's in Chester, Cheshire VERY close to M53/A55 and M56 and easy reach of M6 North and South. Pictures to follow and would swap for a nice set of 16 or 17" 4x100 alloy wheels to suit Vauxhall, non-oe ones ideally.

Sounds like it could be a rear cylinder/strut - I'll gladly send a secondhand one (or pair) to any interested party for P & P (likely to be a few quid) should anyone be in the mood for fixing.

Though of course it could be the pipework.... I'd be inclined to fix it and get your money's-worth out of the car, but I'm notoriously tight that way.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

I think it is the pipe Dave but as always other things conspire against me and as I haven't the knowledge, time or patience it's got to go. Crushing it is the very, VERY last thing I want to see happened but over-run with stuff here again unfortunately.
