CDTI Auto
So, I thought that I should move out my Club SE CDTI manual and get a get a top of the range Auto. Jees, having looked on Auto Trader, Gumtree and E Bay plus other sites I am amazed that the price these are going for, up to over 2 grand in some cases, methinks that I shall keep my Club SE

It's a lot of car for £2k. I think as Rover owners we really de-value our cars.

You won't get anything particularly better really (especially an auto diesel) for £2-2 1/2 grand so that surely makes them worth it
It's what I found anyway when I was looking for a car (and I wasn't specifically looking for a 75 by any means) a couple of years ago.....which is why I have a Rover 75..... |

Yes, but just because you paid £500 for something doesn't necessarily mean it's only worth that and/or all other examples of it are therefore only worth that as well does it

Personaly I wouldn't sell my 75 Diesel auto, certainly not at banger money.
Several of my family members have "posh" cars, but for looks and driving pleasure, I would not swop.... if I had to name a price, it would be well up in the Five six thousands, .... |

I am going to get one (if I do) from a dealer, at least I shall have the back up of the sale of goods act, getting one privately in my mind is a bit of a gamble, I shall keep looking

The 75 had issues with front suspension bushes, crank pulley and a few other things and the dealer didn't want to know. Even after I dealt with trading standards he didn't really help. The freelander (different dealer) came with cream crackered front suspension and corroded brake pipes amongst other things and even when I threatened with trading standards was basically told to go forth. As they had MOTd it, I got VOSA involved Just 'coz. it is from a dealer doesn't mean it's going to be problem free. I've already said that I'll buy my next car privately Unless you get from a trade dealer on here of course

When I went out looking for a car I had about £3k to spend, maybe a little more if something really caught my eye - and I wanted an auto turbo diesel, more for the torque than the fuel economy. I spent ages driving around looking at nasty Fords, Vauxhals and and the rest and then I found a 75 tourer with 65k on it, service history etc for £2500. I wasn't on here then and with hindsight I would have checked the plenums before I bought it BUT Brian sorted that out for a couple of hundred quid a couple of months later and if I'd specified a Corteco crank pulley when that went then apart from a couple of bushes that's been about it - it's sailed through three MOT's now..... and that's not bad for a 12 year old car that has all the toys and is a nice place to be.
I have spent quite a lot more on unnecessary but nice stuff and I like that it's a bit different, it's also a lot more car than any Mondeo or Vectra of the same age and although a late Saab 9-5 HOT is always a temptation I'm more than happy with it for the money I paid. |
