Late-1988 Vogue Efi 3.5 4-door with auto transmission - about 115,000
miles travelled. I'm its third owner. I bought it in June 1999 and have
done 20,000 miles on it. I still like it but it's now taking up space
needed for other things.
Bodywork's not bad - no major dents or scratches - but there's a bit of
rot in most of the usual places (lower doors and inner wheel arches).
Subframe and chassis were OK last time I looked. Interior's fair - no
stains or tears - but the headlining's sagging in places. It's fitted with
a dog guard. The central locking actuators for the doors don't work.
The engine puts out plenty of power. The previous owner had the cams
replaced. ZF gearbox is smooth and reliable. The silencer and exhaust are
fine.
Brakes, steering and suspension are good. I had new AT-type tyres fitted
about 3,000 miles ago. There are mud flaps front and rear.
Major repairs since I bought it have been a new fuel tank and pump (curing
a smell of petrol there since I bought it), a new A-frame joint (stopping
some clonking), new alternator, new front discs and replacement
(secondhand) differentials front and rear.
It's passed its MOT first time each time, so far. The certificates are
available for inspection, as is the partial service history (full for my
ownership). Viewing and test drive by arrangement. I'm around in the day
most of the week.
I'm looking for around £750. Cash preferred.
