1997 820si going cheap

Post by dodgyvinyl » Fri Sep 12, 2008 8:38 pm

Before I put this on ebay....

Any offers here?

I dont want a lot for it but need it gone quickly.

1997 820si manual saloon
Cayman Blue

Beige interior with blue carpets and piping
New clutch in January, along with a replaced gearbox.
6 CD changer works good
Aircon but not cold
Lovely smooth drive
15" 6 spoke alloys
Tax to end of sept
MOT about to run out
No dash lift
No electrical gremlins
Rusty o/s wing
A few scrapes and scratches


I think it will need new front disks and pads for MOT plus new rear pads. May need a new cat as there was some rattling from it last month (that has gone now and it looks ok from the outside).
There was also a little play in bottom ball joints we noticed when doing the clutch. No noise when driving tho.

Best offer over £100 before Sunday to save me putting it on ebay gets the car.

Thanks.

Carl

Not over £100 but I'll offer you £100 as a backup. Would be fine for my brother.

Not into that now. :D

I have more than enough bits not to need to break it. ;)

My brother needs a car cheaply, this would do nicely.

They seperated a few months back though are trying to work things out at the minute.

He basicaly doesn't have a choice for a car. Funds are tight and he needs something cheap.

Well he needed it gone and I had nothing planned so off we went.

It drives well. My brother will be running it this week before it's tested on Saturday.

I have a few pics on them biting the dust in the past John. I might start a thread. :D

It's sometimes best doing it like that, did he drive it back?
