Description
The car has been well looked after, my partner has had it for 7 years and has had hardly any major problems with it. It was serviced every year until 2015 by a garage then privately since, last time was around march of this year.
The paint work is okay, there are related chips and scratches and a couple of other dings as seen on the pictures, but no fading anywhere.
3 tires need replacing, they are fairly cheap.
But since it's over 20 years old now it has a bit of character.
To list some things:
The side light on the left headlight has dodgy wiring so doesn't always turn on, which means you have to wiggle the wires a little to get it working again.
The overhead lamp doesn't turn on when you open the door, it does work but is a bit temperamental.
Passenger side door doesn't always unlock with the key, which means you have to open from the inside.
the speakers rattle past volume 16.
The airbag light is flashing, we replaced the airbag control unit last year so my guess is its a clock spring which is a common fault with these cars, but is a quick and easy fix, and the parts are cheap too.
Sometimes when you pull away in first there is a rattle, this is nothing at all to worry about it's just a heat shield tapping the exhaust.
There is no air intake tube going to the filter, it runs perfectly fine without it and has done nothing to the performance of the engine other than making it sound kind of nice.
rarely the steering will go light, we have been told by our garage that it's nothing to worry about.
The speedo dial will sometimes get stuck in cold weather.
But this car has served us well, we have been up and down the country and there are never any problems with it, it runs and drives beautifully and is super nippy which surprises a lot of people. we love this car but are due for a bit of an upgrade so are wanting to try and sell it. We reckon with a bit of love this car can be perfect as a first car or just a little town car.
we are open to any sensible offers.
