Default Update on t5r

Still in gagarge, have decided to repair original wheels & fit new tyres. Will post full info once car is back here and with MOT.

Price wise I've seen similar sold on BAY recently for £750 but needed new head gasket for £450 so I guess fair market price - when get MOT - would be £1,200.

When did the car have its last timing belt? also has the gear oil ever been changed in your ownership? How the seats looking-any ware?

Thanks.

I did the timing belt but would have to look up paperwork (with car) to see when. I've not changed gearbox fluid/oil - Garage said not necessary when I last asked.

I've had her since 99,000m @ front seats OK given age - heaters don't work, back seats v good, boot seats also v good (I love design of child seat built into arm rest) - will put up pics & more info next week.

The one on Ebay was a manual, they tend to fetch more money

Don't compare yours with the manual version that sold vis ebay. although it was a manual and much more desirebale it is in poor condition ( I should know I bought it) It will now be going under full restoration and will be back to showroom condition in a few months.
I do have to agree with others that at the price you are asking this is very good value. In my opinion a 7 seat auto in yellow you shoud be looking between 2500-4000 depending on overall condition.

sorry, theres no way this car ( no disrespect ) is going to make £2500 -£4000.Theres a limited market for these, especially so with the price of fuel. I think he is asking a fair price for it.

Default 850 t5r 12-months MOT! and TITAN wheels..

Sorry for the delay, work got in the way!
She's all ready for a new owner, wheels fixed and 12-months MOT. When I was going thro the paperwork I found that I have all the service history & receipts including the original purchase invoice.

I've listed her on EBAY with a starting price of £1,500 and no reserve. She has a couple of minor faults - I'd suggest interested parties check the listing out and if you'd like to come and see her - forest.paget@gmail.com / 07919 094793.
