Hi all
Time to move on to something a bit more practical for my work! I am a tree surgeon and when i turn up in a shiny growing saloon car it doesnt give the right image! didnt even do 4k last year in it.

Mine is a mk2 260 se with all the extras ( speakers, sun blind, parking sensors tracker hi line stereo etc, crusie control, traction control, electric mirrors and seats).

41 k on the clock, Mot till 1 march 2013, about 3 mths tax left.
service history
3 former owners
1st registered 16/03/2005
Posiden in color (kind of blue green and purple flip)
Also have a brand new double din head unit with dvd and sat nav, (£350) which i just bought off Sean (aka radio guy) which i was going to fit but then the ac blew! so its still in the box waiting to be fitted
So just last week i had a brand new ac fitted ( Over £800!)
Wheels were resprayed by Auto tech in aldershot just over a year ago so are like new.
Previous owner changes the back boxes so it looks standard but is fairly loud!
The car is in Bracknell, Berks.
Looking for £6995.

May consider a swap if anybody has a pickup crewcab they dont want any more ( navara etc)
Any questions please ask and i will try and get out to wash it and take some pics!

damned if i can get the pics to link, tried following the advice on the other forsale ad but it keeps asking me for a URL, not letting me choose from my pics.:confused:

cheers

Its the monograme posiden .

Also forgot to mention it has a cream leather interior, which i found out when i bought it is qitie rare. The drivers seat looks a little worn but not torn or ripped. will get some pics of that too.

All these people selling their chromactive cars :( when I wanted one you couldn't get one and it took about 2 years and now they are like buses!

I get so tempted to buy one and swap my engine over....

Good luck with the sale. Sounds a nice car for someone

I was pretty lucky to get a hold of I think the only chrome active lhd v8 in Sweden.:-)
Good luck with the sale.

thanks guys.
I am lucky to be in the position that i am not in a hurry to sell, in fact this ad is the only 1 i have done as yet.
If i still have the car come the summer months thats no bad thing! as long as i sell by next winter i am ok.

It was on ebay last year, but is a good colour and trim

jose

Yes it was on ebay at the same time as the one Jon was selling, this one was closer to me so i went for it.
The wheels are a bit darker now as the owner of Autotech reprayed them in a nice gun metal color, just need this damn rain to ease so i can wash and take some better pics!

Thanks for putting the pics up Tim.

Please feel free to ask anything u need to know.
Many thanks
Jose

thinking that maybe 6995 is too much, Going to reduce the price to £6500 if anybody is interested. got to get off my ass and actually advertise it properly online.

You have mine and I'll have that one then..:D

Pearl black..slightly lower mileage..You can have his wheels and I'll have the standard backboxes...sorted. :)

(Well, maybe worth thinking about..)

Hi all
I have put my car on the dreaded ebay, starting with a £5995 price.
I know that its a low price but the car is been wasted with me and now its time to move on.
If anybody is interested still please feel free to ask any questions.
this is a genuine car, just not for me anymore.

Oh and somehow i forgot to mention on my discription the car also has a tracker fitted to it.:ash
Many thanks
Jose

Would you consider selling the upgrade head unit /DVD separately?

jose
17-07-2012, 06:06 PM
Yes actually. the car is going on thursday but the chap has not mentions the unit so i am guessing he is ot interested in it, i will need to double check. Otherwise i was going to stick it up in the for sale section.

jose

Well the car has gone!
Kind of sad watching and hearing it go off down the road.
time to find something boring to drive now!

Same to me, Martin!
The monograms are great. Remember the both ones at Longbridge this year.

Thanks guys
Funny thing is all my neighbours have come out and said how they miss the noise ( it was loud).
I thought they would be happy!
I showed the new owner this site so he may join up.
Hes a car dealer but said he fancied it for his own use for a bit so u never know. If he changes his mind it will come back up for sale over in Birmingham.
