Collected her today from near Battle.

Spent the morning at Camber Sands (not fussed) then went on to Hastings for the afternoon before picking her up and bringing her back.

Just got back.  I'll add more tomorrow.

I need a shower. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/lol.gif)

It's a real time-capsule.  Incredible, really.  The 3.4's work very well in front of the 5-speeds.  Certainly the best handling 4th gen I've driven, too.

Deserves a full run down, but I'm back on the phone !

Very, very happy.  Especially for such little out-lay.

:)

Yes.



As mentioned she's in excellent condition.  

Interior, I'd say, was 95% perfect.  
No loose panels, no broken switches, no creaks, no rattles and no broken door/window switch panel clips.
Seats appear totally unmarked.  Head lining is perfect.
Original front-loader Bose tape deck stereo (which works perfectly and doesn't chew tapes) complete with original speakers.  
Glass is all good, haven't noticed any chips or scratches.  
Everything works, windows, mirrors, Cruise (not tested the A/C properly but it engages).
Plastic trunk panels all intact and unbroken.  Even came with a parcel shelf tonneau cover !!

Exterior is very good.  Haven't noticed any dents.  Minor scratches on O/S rear bumper.  Slight grazing to lower nose cone chin.  General minor scraches that look like they'd T-Cut out.
One broken side indicator lens but she came supplied with TWO replacements.

She's got just 70,000 miles on the clock.

Engine bay is a little dusty but looks totally unbutchered.  Recently serviced.
Slight whine from the belts but I remember my old one was the same.  Plenty of power through all gears.  Has a slight and occasional "miss" under load, in top gear when accelerating up a hill from low revs - changing down obviously resolves this (could be quite normal as I'm used to my Diesel !!)
Clutch is heavy (but not Alfa-like-heavy), which is good.
Gearbox is good and solid, although a tad "loose" (that said a shifter would make it perfect)

Tyres are good, 2 very good, 2 still with ample life.

Wheels are in good shape, no major kerbing or scrapes but the centre caps have started to de-laquer, some badly, but the rims themselves have survived quite well.

Came with all MoT's for its U.K-based life and receipts for a yearly service while in the U.K, too.  
A load of receipts for parts (most for tyres and bulbs although I found one for a rear brake slave cylinder)

Two brand new Monroe rear shocks in the trunk which may go on eBay as the ride feels fine to me.

Came with the original (Florida) dealer paperwork, brouchure and salesman's business card.  Plus all the GM handbooks, warranty info, delivery notes and user/service manuals.

I've also got BOTH the original sets of keys, complete with TWO remote door and trunk entry key fobs that BOTH work !!!

(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

Not sure what I'm doing with her yet . . . . It was one of those auctions that looked too good to be true.  So I bid.  And won.  There was little more thought than that, really.

I may keep her for a bit but I don't really have the space so I'll probably put a "For Sale" sign up if I go to a car show and see what happens . . I'm positive that I'll make a bit when she goes.

We'll see. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/drive.gif)

Wouldn't be too weird, but they have been there since the end of the first week of owning the car!

Probably will get into a habit one day of fitting them onto the cars....(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/lol.gif)

I plan to rag it about at somepoint to test everything out but if all's O.K they'll be up for grabs.

I'm guessing they'll fit all forth gens as the floor pans are the same . . . May depend on the axle casings but I'd guess all V6's certainly were fitted with the same.

This one feels a bit quicker than my other one I had - that one was a 3.4 as well.  It could be the fact that this one is in better condition or just that it feels faster 'cos it's a manual.

Or you've spent too much time pootling along in the diesel Mondeo, my Mustang feels fast when I get back into it despite both having similar 0-60 stats. (sad I know)

My Mondeo feels quick compared to the Jag, but I put that down to me relaxingly driving the Jag and throwing the Manual Mondeo around.... it's a 2.0 petrol so is pretty quick, it's also the older, smaller model which I guess makes a small difference too...

I put it mostly down to the Manual box Dean

its news to me that tow ropes are illegal ...(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)


This is from the Police National Legal Database:

"When the vehicles are attached solely by a rope or chain, the maximum distance allowed between the vehicles is 4.5 metres.

If the distance between the two vehicles exceeds 1.5 metres then the rope or chain must be made clearly visible within a reasonable distance from either side to other road users. This is usually done by tying a coloured flapping cloth in the middle of the rope or chain.

The person in the broken down vehicle must be a qualified driver as he is actually driving the vehicle. A further point is that if it is dark then the broken down vehicle must have its lights on as it would under normal circumstances."

Note: Vehicles are only to be towed on motorways, for the minimum distance necessary, to reach a place of safety where recovery may be effected by a recovery vehicle.

And from Avon & Somerset Police Website :

There is no minimum length of tow rope or chain but the maximum length is 4.5m. Any tow rope longer than 1.5m must be marked to alert other road users. One way of doing this is to attach one or more brightly coloured ties to the rope. The law does not specify the type of rope or chain to be used.

Ordered and received my new aerial from the states. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

Need to fit. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/confused.gif)

Fitted a shiny set of tyre valve caps as the old ones were missing/split/crap.

The only other thing that she would benefit from is a new set of centre caps as 3 out of 4 of the current ones are badly de-laquered.

So I just brought a set on ebay for £27. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

I'll get her cleaned soon and post some decent pictures. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/cool.gif)

Aerial's fitted although not connected . . no biggie as from memory the stereo pre-sets don't match U.K frequencies . . .

You never know unless you try!

How much would you stick it in the market for?

Quoting: Andy
How much would you stick it in the market for?


The Fourth Gen ?

Dunno . . . after tidying some bits and bobs up it owes me about £1550 . . . It would also benefit from a battery which I'd look to put on, too.
I'd get it fully valeted, too as it's very grubby.  

I'd say around £2000 - which irritates me because I've seen much worse up for sale at much more !! (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)

If it was an "average" example I'd have shifted it earlier but it's really good for it's age . . . If I had the space I'd keep it without thinking.  Plus the manual box just does it for me (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/drive.gif) (and returns better economy, too).

I've now stuck this up for sale . . . am really looking to trade it for a VN1500 to get back on two wheels (and free some space).

It's on Rods and Sods for £1500 but I won't take a penny less.

No major rush to get rid . . but would like a bike as winter prices are cheaper.

Bad time to sell at the moment with all the $hitty weather and winter knocking on the door.

Not desperate enough to put it on eBay yet but we'll see how it goes . . .

I've just got a real hankering for a bike . . . . which is ironic as I wouldn't be using it during winter anyway !

Camaro's now sold.   Out of the blue, just like that !

Made a few quid out of it so I'm happy. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

Won't be buying another one . . . Am gonna concentrate on picking up a bike, next.
