Mark 1 saloon 180

Well my 180 has to go, unfortunately since I've owned it has become apparent it needs work doing to it. It needs:

- front CV boot, it's split
- rear brakes looking at- noise from 5-15 mph, could be sticky caliper
- service, I have the oil and oil filter
- couple of tyres
- balance motor

I just can't afford it, and I've just lost patience with it. I never really had any frustrations with my 120- just a lot of happy miles. I just want to go back to it, save money on insurance and tax and fuel, and be done with it.

180 is yours for ?350. Could be a bargain. I've been totally honest with what's wrong with it.

FSH, belts done, 138k miles, 11 months MOT. Apart from those issues it does seem strong, but as said, I have to get rid of one of my cars, and at the moment money only permits the 120.

come on dude try and beg your rents to let you keep it there for a few weeks and I can come over on and wed or thurs after I have moved in nxt week and spend a day with you sorting all the bits out, there not massive bits to do and will prob cost max ?50 in parts. Some of the bits like the hub nut etc I have so you dont have to get that but you would need to get the cv boot, and sliders and gaters which are easy to get hold of.
You have my number give me a txt dude... just seems a shame thats all.
