I've owned this for just under 4 months now, bought from the main MG Dealer for Staffordshire (Hopton Garage). Unfortunatly I have now lost my job and really cannot justify keeping the car. So will be purchasing a diesel.

The car drives like a dream as you would expect, its a 55 plate has only 40000 miles on the clock. Full service history and I am only the second owner.

Its in fantastic ocndition, it's cleaned a minimum of once a week ect ect...I'm car mad so it is more than looked after! Had brand new tires all around (not budgets) 3 months ago as well as MOT untill next may and tax untill next Feb/March. It has also just had a month ago a full stainless steel exhaust system from Powerflow which include de-cat - still have the original cat to go back on if needs be. The exhaust isnt boomy and cannot be heard from inside the car and sounds really nice if opened up.

Anyway a few pic's

I'm looking for £4000 as I paid £5500 5 months ago and have all receipts. All questions welcome.

Not very (i'd imagine)... The extreme spoiler is made for the saloon and this is the hatch version. It has been done though...

I really want a mk1 180 saloon, but quite like the mk2 saloon, especially in XPG. Is there room for movement on price?

Hi mattie, Yea it is a hatch and there would be slight room for negotiation but nothing overly substantial. PM with an offer.

Takes a bit of work but Ive done it to my MK1 and im not expert, requires some reshaping on the back of the base and refiberglassing the hole, sure a bodyshop would do it no problems

Would have no idea about that mate to be honest sorry! But as said above I'm sure it can be done quite easily with the help of people off here or a bodyshop

Car must go monday/tuesday or she goes in for part-ex on wednesday. £3400.00 bargain price. Rather see it go to an enthusiast than a dealer as a part-ex at 3k.

Not meaning to do my own legs, but, Will trades in his ZS to the garage, takes yours and makes the difference up to you with cash. Both happy ....

cad

Nothing that compares to the ZS bud - only changing to go to a diesal! Picking up one of two cars on Wednesday depending which one I decide I prefere...either a Mercedes C270 CDI or a Jag X-type 2.0D we shall see.

Dont want to lose the car but I'm driving to Italy in Jan/Feb and just another example of where this would kill me.

I'm taken on the merc now tbh also looked at the 220 CDI coupe look quite nice - either way will be sealed and sorted by Wednesday!

Going to miss her so much :'(

Seriously mate .... pm sent. Got an offer for you, but don't know where you are located.

Dan1971
21-12-09, 01:25 PM
I need some interior pictures please. Drivers bolster, dash to include indication of mileage.

Please confirm

handles are all good
no coolant issues or excessive ticking noise from plenum
no rips or tears on seats front and back
headlining all good
you have both remotes
service book all stamped up
all electrics work


All being well, and subject to a visual inspection and drive, I'll offer you £3,200 cash, still a £200 Xmas bonus for you just before Xmas on top of the trade in you've been offered, and I can collect tomorrow or Wednesday so long as the bank has the money in.

Your call.

Cad ... Still waiting for a reply mate ...

22-12-09, 07:10 AM
Well ..... Hope you're not stuck in the snow somewhere mate !

Anyway ..... Let me know what you're doing. I'm at work now, could've sorted a day off, but without contact, didn't. Also, as you're still undecided on the replacement, (Merc / Jag), I'm not really sure what the urgency is. A dealer will normally take a couple of days to prep the car, especially over Christmas.

But ..... The cash is in the bank, :shifty: , don't tell Mrs C though, she doesn't know yet !

Dan1971,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news at Christmas time, but she's allllllll miiiiiiiine!!!

I picked her up this morning, she is a belter.

So, I am now the proud owner of this car, which in my eyes was a bargain. Only issue is, I am knackered as I stopped up from working nights to pick her up.

Cheers

How the f*&K did that happen then. Not happy ..... :thumbsdown:

Angry with the seller I have to admit ... all the posts are there to see.

Archermav ... unless you're his mate and had his number, I'm more than a little surprised as to how you got in on this ... but never mind eh ...

Money back into the savings then .....
