For sale 1997 V40 1.8 se (non gdi)

foeism · May 2nd, 2013, 20:42

Right long story short, I have two weeks left in work, and need to sell my v40 along with some other stuff.

It's a 1.8 se, so has trip computer, cruise control, heated seats, sunroof and the winter pack which is the front light wipers and fog lights.
It has 147,983 on the clock, Taxed till June 13 Mot'd till Aug 13.
Very clean inside, only thing wrong is the drivers seat the seam has split (shown in pic)
I have the V40 booklet which goes with the car, and have recently fitted original second hand boot struts, and new wipers. Also the original stero will be sold with the car.

Bad points are, no service history, engine cover missing, there is a dent on the drivers side under the sill where the jacking point is, needs heater control light, and a rear n/s bumper marker.
hence the price of £300
Tyre kickers welcome nothing to hide, and understand you do need to poke it before buying

Please let me know if you have any questions or require more pics.
Not going to break it.

Also forgot to mention heated mirrors.

Anyway I'm now going to reduce her to £250!

Alot of car for so little money, and your also helping a good cause as I will be able to pay my rent at the end of the month

Mate, if your looking to sell it for that little money have you tried webuyanycar? looked to see how much mine was out of curiosity and it was about £350

Don't they charge £49.99 commission?

Yes they charge you £49.99! I'm not going to bother, but was worth a try.

I also have a OEM thermostat to throw in, just to point out there is nothing wrong with the one already in, but got it at a good price so kept just incase.

Don't let it go for £200. You'd get almost that much for it if you just send it to the scrappy.

I know your right, but seems such a shame to scrap it which is why I thought someone hear might have for £200.
