I'm not overly bothered about what it is as long as it's mechanically sound and cheap 🤣. What's the details on the fabia?

I'm not in a mad rush as i don't need it until Jan but if something pops up that fits the bill I'll get it anytime.

With the car market being so strong I think this was a bit of a bargain.

Picked up a 2006 bmw 320d, 160k miles. Perfect engine and box, needed two abs sensors. Ding in the rear arch where someone reverse into it but fixable.

Not lowered or ****ed about with.

Lifted it was 300 quid, the reg on it worth more than 300.

I don’t think I’ve seen a car advertised for less than about £7/800 and even at that price they look like they are only fit for the scrap yard

Heard about it from a colleague of mine.

4 legal Tyres on it with lots of thread and everything working on the car including air con.

Bodywork is far from mint, but rust free and will do for throwing into hedges going fishing.

Will fire a few pics up tomorrow.

Flip me. Did you wear a Balaclava when you were picking it up?

Yeah breakers will be looking them for that price.

However finding one with MOT, 4 legal tyres and ready to drive will make much more than that.

No mate these are not just for breaking some for resale, mot’d and tyres are all good but if not £100 sorts it all 😉😂

Just looking through this and realised I lived around the corner from you for a while!

I had the black Fiesta and the Lexus IS-F which I'm sure you may have heard Lol

Thought I hadn’t saw that big Lexus in a while! Sounded great!

Finally got round to tasking the Skoda for MOT which it passed with zero advisories after doing nothing to it lol.

Hopefully get it serviced while I’m off over Xmas and maybe santa will bring a set of floor mats LOL.
