Default 1995, 960 Estate for sale

I bought the car because I needed a big estate for moving.

1995 960 Estate 3.0 V24 Auto.

I live in Oakwood Enfield area (EN2)

I think it's fully equipped except CD changer but I'm not an expert.

- Heated Seats at the front
- Auto Aircon.
- Sunroof
- 132k Miles

The good bits:

- Transmission is smooth, the engine is quiet, pulls like a train, no overheating etc.
- Aircon is ice cold
- All electric gadgets work (except the seat heating)
- 3 keys 2 remotes
- No rust on the body at all! (see pictures)
- Interior is in beautiful condition (see pictures)
- I assume paintwork is original (gaps between panels, screws under the bonnet etc. all looks good).
- Inlet manifold gasket was changed by my mechanic two weeks ago
- It has been kept in garage all it's life (was told by previous owner and I keep it there too)

The bad bits

- No Service History (book and receipts lost by the previous owner) but according to my mechanic the cambelt and waterpump looks almost new and it looks a very well maintained car.

- Both bumpers need a respray
- Right rear light broken
- Driver's door inside handle wire broken (works as it should)
- Alloys could do a refurb (not that bad at all)
- Driver's seat plastic cover (where the adjustment buttons are) broken
- Failed on MOT for the following reasons:

Offside Rear Brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick
Offside Front Headlamp aim too high
Nearside Rear Stop lamp(s) not working
Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid
Front Battery insecure and likely to cause a short circuit
Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak
Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources

If you are a DIY person than most of these problems cost nothing.
The most expensive parts are the shock absorbers. Nivomats of course.

New ones cost a fortune (360 each) but you can buy a pair of perfect replacements from classicswede for only 350: https://www.classicswede.co.uk/Nivo_..._17415496.aspx

I love this big brick but I decided not to keep it.
I tried to be as honest as possible but if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

I sell it for the best offer, drop me a message how much it's worth for you.
