The time has come to sell my 850, i haven't owned for long, but changes in insurance means it makes sense for me to sell. and I'm finally taking the jump to my first T5!
I haven't long owned this car, but shes never once failed me. GLT spec, with half leather interior, manual, 5 speed. 2.5L 10v engine. Has the 2 boot seats.
Overall this car is in decent condition, but theres some rust on both arches (one is quite bad, see picture) privacy tints on all rear windows. some parking marks on rear bumper.
I'll start off with the bad spots;
- Mileometer not working since i had the car (stuck on 204k) However i believe it is close to this, as its around 200k on last MOT. Never planned to get it fixed because of the work involved in job, didn't seem worth it to me.
- ABS light on (I planned on sorting this out sometime before next MOT however never got around to it, not sure exactly why the light is on, my mechanic suggested it would likely need a new ABS module)
- MOT suggests slight oil leak (oil cap) I have done the tests and believe that the car would benefit from the PCV system being serviced. I must stress that this really is a very small leak, I had new oil in the car when i purchased, and upon checking it recently, its still up to the "max" line. but personally I did plan to fix the PCV system, and I would suggest its new owner to do it.
Good points;
- Very full service recently (last month) including;
> Oil
> Oil Filter
> Spark plugs
> Air filter
> All front brake pads
> New thermostat
> New Coolant temp sensor.
> New Control arm N/S (was advisory on MOT)
> Tracking
This service made a huge difference to how she drives. I must point out, even though she drives very straight now, there is a bit of judder at high speeds 90+ I think the wheels probably need balancing, or something.
- Almost 6 months TAX
- MOT until July 2014
- 7 seater
- Everything working on the car.
Overall shes a decent car, drives well, and is good value since shes got long Tax and MOT. Just driven her to and from Leeds (from Tamworth, Staffordshire) and had absolutely no problems, also managed to get 40MPG, not too bad for an old tank. but you can expect a lot less in traffic, (I was keeping to ~60mph) or smaller journeys. Saying that, if you drive carefully you can get 30 average, that's what i was getting (90% shopping trip journys)
Car available for viewing anytime (before 5pm on weekends)
I'm looking for £500ovno. Any questions give me a call or message me on here, 07449080615.
I don't have many pics atm, but i'll get some more up tomorrow,
Cheers, Matt
