Up for sale is my 1996 Colt. I took this car as a part ex so am now selling it on again but have enjoyed driving it around. It's the Mirage model, which basically means a factory fit bodykit and loads of optional extras. Important bits are:
1996 N reg
1.6 16v
118,000 miles (mostly motorway)
MOT until November
Tax until April
V5 present
Lots of service history and receipts
Insurance group 7
It has a fair tally of standard equipment as well:
Electric windows
6 CD changer
Electric heated mirrors
Central locking
Cobra alarm/immobiliser (certificate included)
Front fog lights
Electric sunroof
Height adjustable seat
Power steering
Twin airbags
Armrest
Rear head restraints
17 inch Wolfrace wheels with Falken tyres, spare included
Rear tints (car is otherwise standard)
The car drives really well, starts first time every time and everything works as it should. The paintwork is in brilliant condition, it appears to have had a blowover but if it has then it's been really well done. It's really nice to drive, fairly nippy and good on fuel as well, returning 30-35mpg around town and will cruise on the motorway all day. Best of all, it's low insurance so ideal for the younger driver. This car has had a lot of positive comments and is far more interesting than a Saxo VTR or Corsa SRi.
There are a few bad points, but nothing major:
-A tiny patch has been hand painted on the boot
-Boot doesn't open by the lock, you need to use the internal release
-Some slight kerbing on the wheels
I have owned this car for about 2 months and it has never let me down. For the last MOT it had £280 worth of work with new anti roll bar links fitted. The reason I am selling now is that I am off to New Zealand in the autumn so would like the money in the bank. I will however still need a second car so would be interested in a swap or part ex, but only for something cheap to run and insure. Also included will be some spares and I'll even throw in the air freshener
If you have any question or would like more pictures, please ask
Price is £1200 o.n.o and I'm located in Plymouth, Devon. Thanks for looking!
