Long time lurker, first time poster here on RR.
I'm selling my 1993 205 diesel.
I paid a bit over the odds for him two years ago, when we needed a cheap-to-insure commuter. However, I was taken by how clean the car was (and still is), and lots of evidence of regular maintenance. 150k on the clock.
The good bits:
MOT to end of September
New battery and starter motor last year
Fully stamped record book and receipts for the various bits I've done (including an oil change about 7k miles ago)
Two new front tyres with about 2k miles on them
Remaining tyres good, including the spare
New alternator belt
Bad bits:
Original Pug radio/cassette doesn't work
Clonking noise from front o/s - suspect bush or damper (but passed latest MOT like this)
The heater fan can be turned up/down but the temperature knob has fallen off, meaning the heater, when it's on, is stuck to maximum heat. Brittle French plastic means this is a tricky fix. I'm not going to lie.
Latest MOT advised tyres (done), rear brake pipes and front discs. However, I suspect these will go at least another year depending on mileage.
It's a very basic Pug. There are zero extras, apart from the sunroof and a passenger door mirror. And I suspect these were after-market.
I've completed regular round trips of 100 miles + and it bumbles along the main roads and motorway at 65mph, no problem. I've calculated a true 56mpg.
Been garaged most of it's life, including with me.
I need £300 for it.
