Righto,
This may seem odd to most folk (and very odd to my wife), but having been posted to a much closer place of work, I can now afford to drive something far less sensible than my ZS :ohmy:

I appreciate that this may seem a strange thing to say, but after owning numerous Cosworths, I have another hankering for one:rofl:

So, I just went outside and took a few quick snaps of the car (it was too cold for some arty type ones). I bought the car via this forum so it is 'known' on here as such. She has done 45,000 miles and will have 12 months MOT, tax until Feb 2011. She has electric windows all round.

Sine I bought her I have had four new Avon tyres, catch tank fitted (but not yet plumbed in ) and also have a spare fog light (again not yet fitted). She has also had lots and lots of wax!

Sorry about the size of the pics. I will be putting the car on ebay/PH over the weekend, where I expect her to do quite well.

There is no secret that when I bought the car it was a damn fine bargain, so much so that I do feel advertised elsewhere I may make a few quid. However, whilst on here I do not intend to make money off folk. Through here I would like to see £3000 for her (which is less than I paid).

I am in good old Wednesbury, which means the Black Country( junction 9 M6), which means NO, I am not a Brummie.

So, am I being realistic in asking £3000?

Looks a good price, I'd be tempted to go a bit higher, you will be asked to knock some cash off and you dont have any where to go but down.

lovely looking car mate you should get £3k no bother....

I can see your point, but quite frankly it is this price on here only, I would hope that folk on here would appreciate that. I will put her up for more on PH. As mentioned in the add, I got her off this site for a good price, so seems fair to pass that on.

[peterzs]

Nice thought, hope you get a quick sale, certainly looks worth the £3,000.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[stamford]

[stokey-leroy]

Typical .....

Great car mate ... Bargain. Just so you know, I sold mine for £4K recently via PH. Mine was an 05 with 23K.

[p_b82]

stunning looking car - I hope it goes to a good home.

Either from here at a slightly lower rate, or via Ph for a premium.

I know, I did say I never tax the same car twice.

Going to ask £3500 for her on PH, although I normally sell via ebay. Start em at 99p with No reserve. Gives the wife kittens:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Never had a duff sale yet (bet that's put the kybosh on it)

:yikes:

[archermav]

Righto, just passed her MOT, so has a fresh 12 month ticket. My cosworth itch really needs scratching.

[archermav]

I hang my head in shame as I am indeed an idiot!!!!!!!! After having a good response via PH, agreed a deal with a chap who came to buy the car tonight. Then wifey decides to remind me that I still haven't received the log book back for the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoke to original owner who assures me he sent the log book off months ago, and I recall sending my part of the green slip off as well, weeks ago asking for a new log book. Then it just slipped my mind until tonight.

Just sorry I wasted the poor buyers travelling time. So, if anyone is interested off here I will need a few days (and I will be £25 lighter) for the log book.

[ZS_LEE]

Is the car still for sale matey

[SheppeyTrio]

Hope u have good luck selling m8!

[archermav]

I put the car on PH for £3650, I thought I was pushing my luck. However, seems it was a fair price as I have agreed a deal for rather more than the £3000 I was asking on here.

She is still here though, sat on the drive looking lovely. The 'buyer' states he will wait the week or so for the log book to come through. So, just a case of wait and see really. I went to the DVLA office on Friday and applied for the new book. Cost me £25 even though I had kept a copy of the original application I sent to them on the 2 march (I just never thought to make a copy of the green slip).

[archermav]

Well, she has gone. Very nice chappie from Plymouth bought her. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

What now ?

[archermav]

I have no idea? It was going to be a Sapph cossie, but not sure about it as a daily. Then I thought Focus MK1 RS. Then I thought, well I've never had a scoobie. Then I thought, how about a new shape Rangey.

Then I got fed up of thinking!!!!!
