WANTED: Peugeot 205 / Renault 5 <= £300

[Doc]

well it appears all my leads on a Renault 5 have run dry...

So maybe a 205 will do me instead.

Looking for something with 5+ Months MOT really and not white.

[Doc]

Should mention I'm in the Southampton Area, but have parents in the Midlands, so anywhere around either location is fine.

Hi. Not exactley what you after, but I know of an XS for sale in Southampton. I think he's after £150ish but it has no MOT.

It failed its MOT on exhaust, track rod ends, front right brake, and a few other niggly bits. I havn't fixed anything due to lack of cash/knowledge/willpower, but i understand it wouldn't be that difficult for someone who knew what they were doing.

Also needs heater matrix (just needs fitting and a handbrake cable). Other than that pretty tidy.

seems like it would need alot of work to get an MOT, which isnt what I'm after althouh an XS would be perfect!

You'd be better off ringing him TBH, a lot of people won't/don't respond to text messages when selling stuff.......

[Doc]

well i got a reply...

"Sorry to dissappoint you but you have sent the message to the wrong number!! regards anon."

the tel no: is wrong i think, just checked and it matches so, the advert must have the wrong number?

[Neil]

Strange!

I'll certainly double check the number when at work tomorrow...

[Doc]
