FS: 960 with manual gearbox 80,000miles taxed and mot
 

For sale is my 1996 960. I bought her nearly two years ago because she is very solid the chassis still feels like it has nearly the same rigidity it would have when new.

She isn't mint though, paint is far from it, though I've been told it looks good in the dark! She had elderly owners previously that had scrapped the paint on the sides. This hadn't worried me as I wanted to paint the car black anyway, it's a nice project if you can paint the car yourself, as it really needs paint. Interior has aged with time and consistent with being a 19 year old car.


Has recently been fitted with the Monroe Safety shocks only a couple thousand miles ago which give it sharper response and a comfortable ride with its automatic variable dampening, cost nearly £300 for these shocks they're brilliant.


It has standard 15" wheels that are a lot lighter than 16" standard ones. One tire practically new, the others with lower tread. The fitters actually couldn't get the standard wheel locking nuts to work so wheel studs were fitted which make wheel changes easy.
I've been using a wheel from a different set as a spare but I do have the full size spare it just needs a tire

I bought it with 70000 miles on it first thing was change the cambelt and an oil change was done too, it needs it's next one about now. Plugs changed too and one coil pack changed with a new one so the engine runs nicely. The battery holds charge for a while as it's not used every day

Front brakes need pads and discs. I was going to fit big brakes but hadn't got around to it.
Power steering I check each week, needs toping up so maybe something that needs a look at.

All other equipment in the car is standard, the radio, factory rear spoiler, 2.5L I6, manual gearbox, apparently its not the strong gearbox, I was going to have the syncro mod and reconditioned before attempting to use a lot of power through it. Clutch pedal has stuck to the floor a couple of times, not sure why as its fine most of the time.

The aerial stops just short of going fully in at the first notch.
Needs passenger side foglight and mudflap.

The standard paint is maroon saloon and interior cream coloured. One set of keys with original alarm fob

Selling because I was going to use it as a project car with T5 or T6 but I'm thinking about a car that will be good in all weather conditions with power. It would be good in dry weather or even if it is just to repaint it and use it daily as standard

Thats all I can think of so looking for around £500 considering the shocks recently fitted and manual gearbox.
If a repaint doesn't put you off then please respond to the thread or PM me. The car is at my parents house at the moment and can be viewed there.

Forgot to add that the car has had two previous owners, last elderly one from when it was out of warranty 1999 to 2013

-central locking doesn't work, alarm still arms
-washer bottle is leaking
