Admitting defeat R75 Tourer V6 - Scotland *Tentatively sold*

lady zed · 28th October 2014, 18:30

I'm very sad to be selling this car so very soon after buying and it's totally not the car's fault, it's mine, I underestimated how practical the Scenic was, how easy it was and I'm struggling to load 3 kids with car seats and all the 'stuff' that goes with them into the car in a mad rush in the morning's to get to work. So I'm afraid I'm going back to a Scenic. So there. Genuine reason for sale, now on with the important stuff.

Very rare 2.0 V6 Firefrost Red Rover 75 Tourer Connoisseur, 2004. The car has done just over 60,000 miles and is sweet and smooth. There is nearly a full years MOT with only 1 advisory for a front wishbone. Will list all the things that have been done (all recently):

Belts
Thermostat
Fresh service
Fresh Coolant
Fresh plugs
Replacement VIS motors
Replacement ECU and immobiliser
Under sealed
Front coolant pipe cleaned and sealed
Headlamps refurbished
All wiring checked and made good
Bonnet release modified
Plenum drains modified
Handbrake modified (1 click)
New rear brake pads and discs (genuine mintex)
NO LEAKS and WORKING AIRCON!

Bad points:

The heated rear windscreen isn't working
There's a 5 inch scratch on the drivers door

The car is mint. All the big stuff has been done and it'll provide many more years of trouble free motoring. PhilT4 has gone over the car with a fine tooth comb and can confirm it's a good 'un.

Looking for £995 no offers!, car is located in Glasgow.

Looks like a bargain for someone.
Hopefully it'll be a buyer from down South who needs a collection/delivery service.
At the moment all my enquiries are for from South to North, North to South would make a change.

Hi.
Don't hesitate guys and gals as Alan will be here on Saturday the 1st and I'm sure would be able to oblige!

Anna, sorry to hear this.

Remember Swap Shop?

Go onto Gumtree Glasgow and search "Scenic swap" or "Scenic why" (WHY means What Have You?) Set the search criteria for 100 miles around Glasgow.

This probably speaks volumes but while I have no qualms buying a 10 year old rover, I want the peace of mind of buying a renault from a dealership!

If only the 75 came in MPV form..............

Even better price, just got back from delivering an MG to Scotland, now if only someone down South had bought this I could have travelled back in style, rather than a Virgin Pendelino.

Glad to see you got to Scotland and back OK.
Sounds as if it was a trouble free journey.
I am about to put the 800 Sterling on here which you saw when you picked the MGZT
up.
