Just picked up a bargain! (bad pic)

[thegubner]

Sorry about the quality of the pic, I was in a rush.

Just picked up this diesel 406, 6 months tax, 6 months test, it has 247 thousand miles but a full service history comes with it.

Apart from a small piece of plastic missing from the drivers wing mirror its mint, no rust anywhere, exhaust and brakes replaced in the last six months, and its showroom inside near enough.

Up at 500, mine for 350. shweeeet.

I thought that, but then I thought, why would he want to know that?

I have no idea.

Pugs are good reliable motors. The diesel 405 and 406's will go on for ever - I have a friend who's got 350,000 on one and it's still running fine and cranks up first time.

Had a 205 myself once and it was a tank.

Take good care of it

Actually I was insinuating that it was a futuristic, over-styled bucket of some kind...but let's go for the option where I look smart and/or mysterious.

You paid £50 more than i paid for my Land Rover Defender














































And i just sold it last Thursday for £2500

Make sure you get the cam belt done or it will be scrap as soon as you give it some welly.

The mileage it was last done should be written on a sticker on the side of the cam cover.

And due to the high compression in diesels, yes, there is a very large chance that a cambelt failure will fuck the engine.

There's no sticker on the cambelt cover, or tipex date/mileage like there usually is. Gonna whip the cover off when I get a chance have a look, see if anything inside or if the belt looks new, will have had at least one belt change as it's at 145K.

Walloper, it may have been sold by a pikey, but if the mileage is 250,000 I doubt it's been clocked so at least that's genuine (or he had his drill set the wrong way before he noticed). And if it has FSH then any of the dealers can be phoned in an attempt to ascertain if the belt has been replaced, most will probably have records, might even be a receipt for the parts in the paperwork.

[thegubner]

I know the bloke who i bought it from, thats why I got it for 350 instead of 500, he is a 50 something wagon driver, all his cars are very well looked after, he lives in a nice part of town is very tidy and neat and lets nothing go uncleaned or maintained, I used to work with him, you should see his wagon he has dusters and cleaning stuff all over it in their particular places.

He is the sort of driver who should be at Eddie Stobart, when he parks his wagon up at night he spends 10 or 15 mins a day cleaning and polishing, he is like that with his cars as well. Certainly not a pikey.


I wouldn't have parted with money for a car with nearly quarter of a million miles other wise.

Still chuffed, its a 1.9 Turbo diesel and its only 7 quid a month more to insure than my bag of shit astra I had.
