Am i allowed to offer a car for free on here?
I dont have MM access even though i have been on here for ages but i am emigrating and i need to be shot of my car

looks like you just did

what car is it and why not seel it for £50 or something to a neighbour

Unluckyalf · 29 Jun 2006 at 00:18

Well, its no flash car

Just a 17yr old BMW 525. So not the sort of car my neighbours would want. Am leaving the country on the 10th of July and my only real alternative is dropping it off at the local scrappy on the Saturday before.
So if someone wants it for free as a project then they would be more than welcome to it on the weekend of the 8th-9th.

More details pls.

MarkyMark · 29 Jun 2006 at 00:26

hmmm, we live in a world where nothing costs nothing

Is it knicked and your skipping the country

Not sure if the policy still stands, but when I was a Don freebies were fine.

I think IaiaiaiaianB gave away some slicks.

happietechie or something gave away a free escort too a few years back IIRC.

added you to MSN - interested..

Ok more details. I sold the wifes Scenic about 3 weeks back as i knew we were leaving but, had to buy her a cheapish runaround for 3 weeks so she could get to work and back.
Well i never knew how hard it is to get a car with tax and mot for sub £200.
Ended up with an ebay purchase for £260 with 3 months tax and 2 months MOT
Link to the original sale is Here
The car is not perfect by a long way, but runs ok despite a 'Trans Program' error that pops up occasionally. This error from my Google searches seems to afflict Auto boxes mainly and this being a manual seems to have no effect on the car whatsoever.
If you reckon its a bag of nails then ill just scrap it, but, if anyone wants to collect on the 8th or preferably 9th of July from Wellingborough (Northants) then they are more than welcome.

Worth having for the crank sensor in the engine alone dudes! (common failure on the 2.5)

Hey, dude - if it falls through in any way, I have a definite taker - he's quite local and can collect on 8th or 9th easily.

Since he's done his deal I'll close the thread.
