What's odd dead centre?

Phil W · 17 Oct 2015 at 23:07

He means off.

I did mean off.

I blame my phone but I should probably spell check these things myself first...

New family wagon sorted after Auris was written off by a polo!

Altea Reference Sport

2006, 40k miles, Full Seat SH. Few paint niggles I need to sort but its lovely to drive and the FSi lump is surprisingly pokey!

Which engine is it?

shadow_boxer · 18 Oct 2015 at 10:52

Looks very tidy for a 2006 motor

phatboy · 18 Oct 2015 at 11:40

2.0 FSi, 148hp is it?

Yeah overall its pretty tidy. I think where the last owner lived everyone had no spacial awareness as few parking grazes to deal with and one larger one. Interior is spot on though

Our thoughts were with the good history and rather low mileage we could deal with a few little bodywork bits to sort out.

Interesting colour combination on the interior of that Jag. Bit different but I like.

Relentless81 · 18 Oct 2015 at 12:24

I don't usually like cream leather but it looks nice in two tone with black, maybe I'm getting old as Jags are growing on me

Still a great looking car. Interior looks nice. How much did u get it for? A guy I work with picked one up for a couple grand and its a lot of car for the money! A big comfy quality barge

shadow_boxer · 18 Oct 2015 at 12:34

Never really been a fan of the S but that looks quite nice, nice colour combo interior too.

phatboy · 18 Oct 2015 at 12:54

Once again tidy for an older car, especially an 04 plate

sheldore · 18 Oct 2015 at 13:08

Paid £2000, but comes with full service history and plenty of toys. It's one of the most comfortable and smooth cars that I've drove.

Great buy! Hard to find a nicer looking quality drive than that for 2k!

Got my 1st car:

'10 plate Suzuki sx 4 1.6 diesel. Thanks to all who recommended insurance tips in thread I made. Already done 450 miles this week (by the end of today

).

Only issue is the gearbox is pretty naff and doesnt pull easily into 1st/2nd gear. Seems to be fine once the engine is hot tho? (any ideas?). Its been like this since 0 miles old however.

Wow that's impressive, I thought we did pretty well at £2950

Ryan-3 · 18 Oct 2015 at 13:54

I wouldn't worry too much about the gearbox unless it deteriorates. Cars work better when warm.

lemonade · 18 Oct 2015 at 14:50

The Jaguar looks bang tidy for 2k, thats a great buy.

Uncle_Gravy · 18 Oct 2015 at 15:53

A jag with no horrible looking wood interior is a thumbs up in my book.
