02 Rover 75 Estate, Diesel Auto, High spec inc TV

There is of course an NCT. It's up in June.

My bad Tigger, I was caught up in getting all the spec there, and of course forgot the basis. Thanks for reminding me :)

Mostly because it's a 9 year old car. There's nothing structurally wrong with them, comsmetically bugger all too for the age. I'm just fussy, and if I sell it to someone, I'd prefer it to be right. For example, one wing has a chip taken out of the paint an inch long, it's still silver, so I'd need to show it to you for you to notice it, but I see it every time I get into the car. The rear bumper's scuffed from constantly loading/unloading equipment. Stupid stuff like that.

To be honest, 90% of people would be fine with them the way they are. As I said, I'm just fussy.

Thanks N O'Reilly - I'm not going to list my price, as that would defeat the point of people making me bids. I've already turned down 3 bids via PM, but it's up to users to post how much they're willing to pay, and for sellers to accept/reject. Thanks for the interest though!

Hi Pimpfish, as per my ad details clearly listed, there's only one type of car I'm interested in swapping for. Thanks for the interest though.

Normally you'd be talking 200 ish, as it needs the Rover testbook diagnostics gear, but my indy mechanic would do it for 120.

This is just me being anal, as stated in the ad, it's a unit which is sealed for life - I've no reason to think the car wouldn't be fine never having an auto box flush, but I'm the type of person who prefers dotting i's and crossing t's.

@N O'Reilly - thanks for your incorrect advice. If you're not interested in buying the car, don't threadspoil. There is no transmission dipstick on a 75 Jatco gearbox.

Hi Grathu,

As it's a pre-2008 car, road tax is calculated on CC's. I could certainly put an NCT on it if someone was interested. I have also recently changed the non-Xenon bulbs to white bulbs in order to match the Xenon dipped beams at a cost of 60 Euro. Silly little detail, but it improves the look of the car.

As regards your PM offer of 4200, I genuinely appreciate the offer, but considering the fact I'm going to carry out about 1k of bodywork on it myself for the next owner, it's just a bit too low. I'd certainly take less than my asking, but you'd need to offer closer to my asking to secure the sale. It's a lovely car, and I'll be sad to see it go, but whoever gets it next will get a great machine with literally all the toys.

It still is Mary, thanks for the compliments!

Just to follow up on your PM Mary (As offers must be discussed here on thread), I would accept 4500 from you if it's still for sale next month when you can pay for it, if you want me to hold it for you, I'd accept a deposit.

In the meantime, anyone else is more than welcome to step up!

Hi Max,

Unfortunately I'm hardly ever in Dublin, and also, I will be taking this car off the road early next week as my new car has arrived, so it'll be living on my driveway until it's next owner decides to collect it.

Thanks to Grathu for another PM offer of 4350 (As per adverts rules, I'm reposting the offers here in case the Mods decide to ban me for off thread dealing). As stated previously, the price I'm happy to take is 4500. The first person to offer that price gets it.

Remember - you're bidding to buy, not to view.

4500 accepted Grathu, as per our discussion on PM's of my getting the NCT done. Other watchers, keep an eye just in case it falls through (The NCT may take a week or two to get), but given my discussions with Grathu, I can't see that happening. Seems to be 100% legit and honest.

Hi Mary,

Grathu offered asking, provided I do the bodywork and get an NCT. I'm nearly finished the bodywork on it, and have an NCT booked within the next 10 days. I've PM'd him here telling him the updates, but haven't heard anything back. If I haven't heard back from him after the weekend, I'll assume he's not interested and update the thread. I'm aiming to have the bodywork out of the way by the middle of next week, but she's coming up a treat. So much so herself thinks I'm mental for selling it, but I can't keep every car I buy, my driveway's only so big! :D

Never seen so much interest in a car. I should have bought 3!

Pecking order is as follows :
Grathu
Mary
Max Power.

Grathu's sent me on a deposit, so I'm assuming it's as good as sold. I will however leave the thread open until he takes it which should be sat week or thereabouts. NCT's being done on Tuesday morning. I've no reason to think Grathu won't take it, he's been bang up honest the whole way through dealing with him. So provisionally, it's sold.

It is a moot point as it's sold, but I'm firm with the order that the car is to be sold on. Feel free to report it if you disagree with it, but as Mary is new to Adverts and Boards (Her profile is about a month old) - and obviously doesn't know about making offers on thread. She made a matching offer of 4500 almost immediately after Grathu via PM and has subsequently offered several times via PM to buy it immediately should the deal fall through. Her offer, despite not being on thread, was a week before yours, and I agreed in principle with her - before you made your offer - that she would be next in line.

I'm not going to go back on my word, but if both fall through, you'll be next in line.

*Mods* I'm aware of the need for offers to be made on thread, but I think it's only fair to cut Mary some slack as she is extremely new around here and doesn't know the ropes fully. She was 100% communicative on PMs, and is genuinely interested in the car, and genuinely made an offer long before Max Power1. I can forward the PM in question if necessary.

@Grathu: Offer Accepted.
Deposit of 500 Euro received from Grathu.
