Hi guys,

went to see a V reg classic at a garage called PDP Motor Company in Caerphilly for a mate. Turned out to be an absolute dog, bonnet wouldn't open, when I opened the back doors they droped slightly and the front seats have a piece of cream leather sewn onto them on the front of the base.
Its in DBM with the reg V631 VJO. It also doesn't too straight but the guy swears that its never been in an accident.

If anyone knows of a decent classic, MY99/00, let me know please

Cheers guys

 

Was it blue, with huge stone chip in bonnet, blim burns on seats, scuffed door handles, badly fitting cheap stereo but loads of aftermarket wiring in the boot for a sub and all that? Mileage on 106k but history only to 83k or so. Phat rattley zorst, bad panel gaps.

He was asking around 6500?

I looked at that one and told the guy you've got to be f***ing kidding. Even for 4k as a hillclimb car its overpriced. Its been thrashed, abused and possibly smashed and fixed on the sly.

Just keep an eye on Keith Prices in Crickhowell, they get classic trade-ins every now and again. Is where I got mine, and its been babied.

 

Thats the one mate, thought the doors were going to fall off in my hand. £6500 was the asking price, he's got two hopes of getting that. My mate bought a Clio 16v from there a few years ago and had enless problems with it.

Cheers for the info on Keith Prices

 

There's a WHITE Turbo Classic at Tiley's in Bristol

 

Yeah, avoid that garage like the plague. The guy was saying "well thats just the nature of the cars they are, its a 7 yr old car, you've gotta expect it to be a bit lived in".

I turned around and pointed at my old MR2 I'd turned up in and said "ok, thats a 20yr old car on a E plate which is virtually mint and in a helluva better state than that Impreza your selling".

Some cars get looked after, some cars don't. Discerning buyers can tell.

No worries. Keith Prices won't be cheap but you're likely to find well-looked after classics with 1 owner, full dealer history from themselves who have been the only people to ever touch the car. And a 12 month warranty.

Would you be interested in a RB5.

 

Me and the g/f went to see this and i was very dissapionted,6.5k for a motor with 100k+ miles put me off straight away.Then there were the *** burns in the seats.

Come to think of it he had this up for more than 6.5k, im sure it was 6995, it was advertised in the trader for 6.5k, but he said he could do it for 6.6k with the 12 month warrenty..............yea right.

Stay from it

 

Thats what he'd like TBH, how much is it going for? He's got a mk3 Golf GTi for p/x

PM me with details please

Blue Dragoon, I saw the white one you're on about, looks a minter, will probably have a look at that one myself.

 

Matscooby, are you the fella with the RB5 in Newport with the ad thats been up on Pistonheads for last few months?

I nearly phoned you about that but it was out of my range. Now I see the price has dropped, I could have bought it after all.

Was a nice looker as I remember from when the pics worked.

 

DJ Huxley it was mine in Pistonheads, but now the price has dropped to rock bottom and it won't be going any lower than £7850.

 

£7850

 

matt i think its to cheep your not that desprate for a type r,best things come to those who wait.

 

That sounds a good price Matt, someone will surely want it for that. Not me tho, am happy with my scoob and am planning on sticking with our current set of cars for a while.

 

Well the car has been sold today so I have time to start looking for my next project.

 

What you thinking of getting next? Another RA?

 

Nnooooooooooooooooo ! .... now I'm the only RB in the village

 

Good news Matt.

 

Don't worry mate I'll still talk to you.

 

Surely it's better than being the only gay in the village?

 

top result mat, you goner buy your old car back???????????

 

I'm going to email him later and see what answer I get back.

 

Atleast you know the history of this one and it'll come back with some added bits on it

 

Well done Mat

 

well done dude can we go shopping for type r's now.you still sold it to cheep.

 

It was cheap but some people don't seem to get that the RB5 is a special edition and its not just a UK turbo.

At the moment the market for these ain't just happening.

I'll start searching the web depending on the reply I have from the guy who has my old RA and then we'll decide.

 

Oh I love spending other peoples money!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

me tooooooo

 

I'm not talking to any of you lot for awhile, I'll go bankrupt before I get a car.

 

you need help spending that money thats burning a hole in your pocket.
