Wanted: 240 GLT Estate

Eddy Matthews · Jul 20th, 2010, 22:04

Hi guys,

I'm after a decent 240 GLT estate - Would consider other trim levels, but the GLT would be my favourite!

Now I have to tell you that we currently have a family issue that needs to be resolved (I won't bore you with details!), so it would be 6 weeks before I could commit to buy...

A few things are essential...

#1. It MUST be an estate
#2. Would prefer a full 12 month MOT, I won't even consider anything less than 10 months!
#3. Some tax, at least a couple of months
#4. No vehicles with astronomical mileages!
#5. Must be free from rot!
#6. Minor (very minor) bodywork issues are okay (it will be 17yrs old so I'm realistic!)
#7. As much service history as possible
#8. ALL electrics must work as intended, including rear lights, heated rear screen, air con etc etc.

My current budget is around £1200 - But that will increase by approx £100 per month from the date of this message....

We currently have a motobility lease hire vehicle that still has another year to go, so I'm not in a mad rush to buy the first thing that's offered, but having said that, if the right vehicle came along I would buy now rather than miss it, Apart from the 6 week proviso mentioned above!

Regards
Eddy

Nick,

I cannot reply to your PM as I don't have enough posts!! God that's an infuriating thing on this forum!!

If you can let me have your email address I'll reply using that. I have no wish to discuss a private deal on a public forum.

Regards
Eddy

Eddy,

You can get your PM sending facility switched on here:

Nick's visiting Yorkshire soon for a few days in the GLT, including a visit to the Northern BKV at Wetherby on 1st August. A bit more convenient for you than Elgin!

Good luck with the search, although you mention 240 glt and aircon... I'm not so sure you'll get that

good luck with the search, although i think it may be a long one with your wish list!! most glt have high miles as they have been driven

rear electrics are a doddle to fix and if you get one that works you will in the end have to fix them sooner or later!!!

Could someone please PM Nick_Ovlov and let him know I'm trying to contact him?

I see he's been on a few times today, and can only assume he's missed my message above...

I've asked for PM access, but so far no joy - The admins on here don't really seem to rush themselves!

I just don't want Nick to think I'm ignoring him!!

Regards
Eddy

PM to Nick is done Eddy.

Bear in mind that the Admins are hard-working unpaid volunteers who have day jobs and give up their free time, when they can, to support the forum.

Cheers
