Dad sold it for a measly £275.....with 37k on the clock :/ Anyone else care to share? 1977 Datsun 100a F11! Have a photo but can't work out how to upload it...

fiesta_lad Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Love the Cavalier! And even though they were a huge flop, I do actually like those Avantimes. I sat in one once, the most airy cabin in a car I've ever been in! It felt like an open plan apartment. Likeing the fiesta picture looks like mine. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd just wait a week before you have the money and start properly searching, ringing up and getting info Just double check on MOT, tax, mileage, service history, MOT certificates, tyre condition etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just wait a week before you have the money and start properly searching, ringing up and getting info Just double check on MOT, tax, mileage, service history, MOT certificates, tyre condition etc. Oh don't worry, I'm no tyre kicker!

Michael P Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looks OK, but its 1996, a little bit too old? i'd try and get the newest car you can get, will probably last you longer. Also, its a crap advert, so would require a lot of digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, its a crap advert, so would require a lot of digging. Yeah, I was a bit thing about the age. It's the mileage that caught my eye, although being it one with a standard 5digit odometer it could have 150,000. And yeah, don't like brief adverts.

I like adverts that go on forever tells you everything and has you say the mileage could of been clocked i think my clio was clocked because that had a 5digit odometer and everytime the numbers went around they wasnt staright when i bought it kreg on 48,000.

Yarp, hence the service history and especially MOT certificates, best thing to verify the mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I want from an advert. That's what I'm worried about with a Fiesta mainly, I've tried to keep my eyes on the ones with a 6digit digital odometer. More peace of mind then.

There will be !Removed! ones out there and some good ive just been looking at a w reg fiesta with 60,000 for £2,295 bit of a rip because ive bought my 51 plate on 52,000 for £1,950 full service history.

Michael P Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I wouldn't pay more than £2k for a late mk4/5 Anything above that and i'd want a Zetec S / ghia for my money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of money for a W plate. :o It's going to be interesting looking at the Fiestas. Because I've seen some minters, but then a vast contrast like the heap of a mk4 that leaked over a parking space at college... Until the pillock who owned it wrote it off.
