Bought this as an in-promptu couple of months ago as I needed a big car for a holiday, that has now passed and I'd really like to downsize the fleet. I aim to put a new MOT on it when I can at the end of May so I appreciate it's not really in a very sellable condition at the moment. Tax until some point in the summer.

It passed 123456 miles whilst commuting the other day, and using bicycles and trains to get around everywhere I can barely justify one car let alone two. Sadly therefore the big one wants to go.

History file all from the same garage back to 2007, the sacred timing belt and water pump was changed at 97k in 2009.

Since I've had it it's been treated to a new fan belt, some oil and a new back box.

Only one advisory - "steering column flexible coupling is slightly deteriorated"

It's also had a new clutch and pressure regulator this year but didn't get receipts for them (sadly the most expensive bits :roll: ) but there's a paper trail of Vince's posts on here. I think he still has them.

The roof and spoiler have been severely sun damaged, there's a fair few dents and scratches in the exterior, some of the glovebox hinges are broken, and I had to remove the boot carpet as it was mouldy. Some of the oils leak from some places. It's a bit shed like in places, but drives delightfully and, other than the boot, the interior is lovely. Oh, and it may or not come with the radio as I had to buy it one and I really like it!

Anyway, could anybody offer me a rough "valuation" for when it can get a full ticket?

Around £500 at a guess, though might do better on Ebay.

TXD19 for sale

Post by Willy »

Update:

This car is now for sale.

I'll get some new pictures at the weekend when I have some free time, but while I have ten minutes before bed I thought I'd write the advert...

Oh it's having its MOT on Wednesday which should give it a fresh ticket until June 2014. It has one advisory on last year's (steering column flexi coupling slightly deteriorated), but my local garage is quite "thorough" so I'm sure they will find something else! I will update this promptly with advisories on the new ticket.

Tax until end of July.

124000 miles.

Justification for sale: I have two cars, and I only drive once or twice a week. Financially, this is not viable. Plus, hoarding the communal driveway is beginning to attract "questionable" comments... I'm keeping the little Subaru as I'm far more attached to it and BXs are generally not too difficult to sell.

The car has a handful of old MOTs and receipts, the history is as follows:

22/1/07 89400 service, new fanbelt
1/8/07 89928 new front brake pads, oil feed back pipe
16/7/08 94372 new front spheres
18/12/08 96122 oil & filter
20/5/09 97816 new timing belt, water pump & coolant
30/7/09 99837 NSF driveshaft gaiter
22/7/10 103469 oil & filter, hp pump belt
9/11/10 105664 new handbrake cables
29/6/11 106708 new front suspension return pipes
sale

21/1/13 120682 new clutch & gearbox oil
22/2/13 121520 new pressure regulator & lhm
sale
2/3/13 121640 oil & filter
28/3/13 122737 new exhaust back box
7/4/13 123494 new fanbelt

Known issues... pretty much what I wrote in my original post:

+ Roof and spoiler heavily sun damaged. The former is completely devoid of lacquer and the latter is peeling heavily. Weirdly, the bonnet is fine.
+ Most body panels have small scratches or dents in there somewhere.
+ The boot is tatty, I had to remove the carpet as it was disgusting! The rest of the interior is very presentable, however.
+ The glovebox is the wrong colour (grey) and on one hinge.
+ There are oil and LHM leaks from under the "hood". Fortunately I've never had to top anything up, but it will leave drip marks on your drive overnight.
+ Under the bonnet is a little "messy" as Vince had the PR explode LHM everywhere in his ownership. If I can get the garage to steam clean it at MOT time I will.

Anyway, I'm crap at valuing cars (buying and selling) so I'll say I'm looking for £500. It's a nice round number.

Cheers! :)

re lhm leaks under the hood, these visible leaks are now classed as mot failures as i was advised on my last mot and could be costly to put right as it may need new pipes, just a word of warning, good luck with your sale.

It's difficult to tell as everything is covered in LHM after it exploded before. Haven't really noticed it recently, mainly the engine oil leak.

Cheers anyway, nice that someone's alive on here!

I HAZ MOT!

Sadly however to achieve that status, the best part of the rear suspension had to be rebuilt as some spaztard had fitted all the pipes in the wrong places beforehand, apparently, causing all the leaks. Pump? Fine. Accumulator? Fine. Twonks mixing breather and return hoses? Errr... (I think that's what he said, anyway)
