Hi I am thinking about this car. Cant see the stickers you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a job is fixing the roof elastic then and what is actually the problem. Hard to see from the photos if you don't know what you are looking for.

The roof elastic is an easy fix, I found it a little fiddly though, just needs replacing. as for the cause I think it just wears out over time.

Like I said in the other post I've only ever had 2 automatics and I managed to break both of them. The tip was a sort of fun gimmick at the time but I prob wouldn't have another. I was lucky because a local guy was hip to replacing autoboxes and he got a another box pretty cheap but I imagine those days are gone. The other one was a dodge challenger. I rebuilt that one myself in the kitchen. That was a doddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see the stickers you are referring to? it looks like someone has put a long sticker across each switch - compare to others and they have a different finish. The switches get gummy due to age and the icons peel off - there are some DIY fixes available which involves removal and repainting - shouldn't be a big job, but just one of those things that looks like someone has bodged it - if they have done that - what else have they done? Perhaps i'm too cynical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Major Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 New listing. Any thoughts, I just found a great car on Auto Trader. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202105012078209?atmobcid=soc3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaks Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 @Adrian Major how many cars have you actually been to see? looking at adverts is cool but quite often when you get to see the car in the flesh all kinds of things can jump out (good and bad) that weren't immediately obvious. nothing beats getting out on the road to see what you can get for your money, benchmarking if you like. we can all be autotrader experts on here, but if you aren't already, just get out and about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth considering for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Good comment by beaks. You’ll narrow it down to the perfect car on paper, go and see it, and it will be cr*p! Go see a couple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Major Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Yes I have seen a few already and agree need to see more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I don't hate the interior. That colour always looks better in real life than in the pictures and for some reason the seats always look in better nick in that colour. No heated seats though. It's quite warm this morning but I still had the toaster on for my little ride out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
