Some of you may already know, but I have just accepted a job with a company car, so..... the Marea has to go.
Here's the details:
1997R
72k miles FSH, including documented cambelt change at main dealer on 38k miles (So there's 29k miles before the next one is due) Really nice condition - being picky, there's a small crack on the upper surface of the rear bumper, and one or two stone chips and scratches. Interior is almost immaculate. Electric windows all round, electric sunroof, 6 speaker stereo. Recently it's had a full set of Goodyear NCT5s. MOT due mid November.
Good stuff: Sounds fantasic, goes well, handles well.
Bad stuff: Could do with anti-roll bar drop-links replacing. (About 20 quid in parts plus 1/2 hour each side to fit - I haven't bothered, the knocking over bumps is irritating, but not critical to fix) The colour - I beleive it's known as 'Jewish racing gold'.
To be honest, I don't really want to sell it, but I can't have a company Passat, the 75 the 156 and a Marea kicking around outside the house.
The car owes me just over a grand - taking into account purchase price and the recent tyres.
I'm probably going to stick it on Autotrader for £795, and it'll go on ebay, too.
If someone I know from here were to offer me something quite a bit less than that, but not a piss-taking offer, and could take it away quickly, then I'd let it go...... email me if you fancy chancing an offer!
