Merc 190e and series 3 audi coupe

[jonmsm]

Hi guys,

I am selling two cars due to financial issues. I finally had the three cars i wanted, my M535i, my 190e and my audi coupe... and now things have to go wrong - I hate this world! Anyway, these are the cars and brief description of the stuff i have done/they have got...

CAR 1

Gold 1985 Mercedes 190e 2.0ltr auto

4 months tax,
9 months MOT
New alloys and tyres
replaced interior with no tears or marks
reasonable stereo with new front blaupunkt speakers
additional electric fan for summer (wired into an original factory switch)
lowered (amount unknown, done by previous owner)
very large history or receipts and a good early service history (last few years are abit sketchy)
Recent full service including dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads, plugs, oil, coolant, brake pads, ignition unit and coil
Requires new ariel (little curse word pinched it) but will fix that before sale.
Comes with spare grill. Bough a nice SHINNEY one as it looked in better nic than current one but after a polish the current one looked ok.. so i never bothered swapping them. Also comes with spare bonnet star as I was paranoid about it getting pinched!



CAR 2

Red 1990 Audi Coupe (series 3) 2.0E 8v manual (non quattro!)

New head and gasket
New Radiator (awaiting fitting - will obvioulsy be done before sale!) and heater matrix (all the usual expensive audi maintenance!)
9 months MOT
3-4months tax (must check exactly)
grey quattro leather interior
cd multichanger
full closure alarm
alloys with v. good tyres all round
no rust at all!!! (audi's of this age are all galvanised - rust means accident damage repaired with cheap non galvanised panels!!)
new disks and pads up front and pads at rear less than 1k miles ago



I need to sell both cars to pay for petrol... I'm not joking, look at my signature picture - thats one thursty ****! (that and stupid interest rise = HIGH mortgage + lack or work = ). I am open to offers, both cars owe me ALOT of money but I know I have spent more on them than they may be worth.

Any info you want post or PM me. I work long hours at the weekend so i may be a bit slow replying

Forgot to add.... my other beloved car will be up for grabs soon, volvo 850 T5. Will post when I have replaced the broken oil cooler and made sure its ok!

Merc: How much, and where?

[jonmsm]

I'm in Loughborough in the middlands. I am hoping for about £750ono for her bearing in mind the things I have done to her in the year I have owned?

let me know if your interested

[filmidget]

Hmmm nice and local (for a change)

Will see what wifey thinks, as looking for a new car for her.

Thanks

[filmidget]

KNew there was something else - how many miles?

[jonmsm]

oh yes, very important fact. Its got 130k on the clock. P.S. I LOVE the collection of cars you have filmidget! you like your VAG cars!

[filmidget]

Just showing F-in-L the Merc, and he likes the look of the Audi

Similar questions as per Merc - mileage and price please... and anything else worth knowing.

Especially if there is a discount for buying both cars

(and thanks about the current collection - needs thinning down a bit though!)

Thanks, Phil

Sounds cool. The merc has 130k on the clocks. There is one thing worth knowning about it. At the moment there is an intermittant fault with starting (fuel pump sometimes refuses to prime) but I didn't mention this as I have no intention of selling the car before this is fixed and I am 100% happy with it (as I have been sold too many lemons in the past and it annoys me!). If you want to know more about it I will email you what I have done and whats still to do to rectify it just so you know. I am sure some sort of deal may be reached for both cars if you wanted them!

hey, do you have a rough price on the audi? and mileage?

[jonmsm]

hi, audi has 96k on the clocks and I am told its worth about 1100 - 1200 with the leathers and full closure alarm etc. I am open to offers however as long as they arent silly!

[jonmsm]

BUMP...

update. I have just ordered a new fuel pump, fuel pump relay and OVP relay for the mercedes to fix the problem mentioned (as its one or other of those that has the tempromental fault). I will be testing all the old parts coming off the car and any that are good will be cleaned and included as spares along with the star, and grill mentioned

My last question was meant about the Audi, not the Merc, but you have answered it anyway

Assume wouldn't be interested in a cheap Volvo 940 or Scirocco in px? No, though not...

[jonmsm]

unfortunately not - all the cars are for sale because I have ordered a new C1 to use every day as the.. wait for it... 68MPG and £40 a year road tax is something I cant live without when the BM does 10mpg around town!!!!
If I had cash to spend on another project car I wouldnt be selling these but I would deffo be interested in a scirocco... always wanted one but oh well!

new parts for the merc should be arriving in the next few days hopefully and I have also ordered a viscous fan from a breakers as well seen as the current one has packed in (I temporarily installed an electric fan to fix this... and I think it looks very neat so i will be leaving that in too).

[jonmsm]

bump

[festerfly]

out of interest is the T5 an Estate? if so what sort of cost will it be? 7seater option etc?

Cheers

[jonmsm]

BUMP - The Mercedes is now all fixed up and the Audi is up for sale as 'repairs needed' as I cant afford a new radiator as yet. Also check out the old tyre shredder too! hehe
