Cars in Yorkshire

Don't suppose any of the Yorkshire contingent is close enough to check
this out for me?

Nope, but the email address in the headers is valid. Something makes me
suspect the one in yours isn't.

 

For a 2004 car with 62000 miles?

 

To look at it for Higgins.

 

I've never[1] owned a car which is newer or has covered fewer miles. I
don't plan to start now.

[1]This might be a lie as wifie's car is in my name.

 

15k/year's hardly OTT...

 

It's been a company car.

Whats the servicing shedule for these?

 

You've got a thing about red saabs haven't you......

 

I meant the price!

 

Anything but fucking silver or grey

 

He can but ask.

 

12k miles / 1 year.

 

Be worth checking if the amended intervals came in before the Dame Edna
facelift - which moved to 18k / 1 year.

 

I'd aim for less than £4.5k myself. Closer to £4k.

Especially as John wouldn't need a warranty from a UK dealer, as it's
going abroad.

 

(SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

It doesn't matter much...

Just knock the price down about £250 from what you think's about right,
to cover getting a specialist to drop the sump and cleaning out sludge
from the oil pickup.

2004's reckoned to be where they started to get it right, but they said
that before, then - at about 4yo - engines started to show symptoms...

I thought that was only a problem for the 2.0t and 2.3t low-pressure
lumps and not the Aero?

 

Fairly sure it changed with the engine revision in 2004, when they
solved the oil pickup problem.

 

If you can get me it for £4k, I'll bring you all the Leffe you can drink.

 

That was then, this is now and buyer for that? probably not one in the UK,
bloke might need to look overseas )

People have mentioned 4k, seems ok. In fact when you look at it, maybe 3
years left on it before it gets loose, one has to love the current market as
a buyer with nothing to sell.

OTOH someone with a 45k miles 911 wanting a current model GT3 *might* just
swallow 500 asprin and a bottle of gin in a hot bath ;o)

JH, accomodation in York and a lift over is no problem.

 

Well it was a small laugh given JH is in Belgium but the market is seriously
fucked for anything juicy right now. Remember that 750iL.

Oh I agree absolutely. For someone who bought it new one would be gutted at
5k. But 4k is 20% down, that's a bit more than haggling!
