Rover 75 Conniseur 2.5L Primrose Yellow - Page 2

Am not sure that a car that is 9 years old and very low milage is much good, surley a car is best kepted being used

Am sure it will have a lot of problems in the furure when it starts to get used more

Bet it was only used once a week for a shopping trip?

Works out less than 1000 miles a year, Am sure a car with that spec and very little use is not very good on the engine at all

My 75 had done over 88,000 miles and when I brought it in March 2009 it was 86,000, but now I am doing less than 5000 miles a year so the car deserves a rest now, she is 7 years old

My first car was very low milage, that turnded out to be bad news, it had a lot of carbon build up in the breather hoses, it should of been used more, would never buy another low milage car again

I think the car will struggle to make £3.000.

.

7K not 73K

Quite a find no matter what it sells for

Well the car has a starting bid at £7000.
Good luck to whoever it is.

mimbo · 11th August 2009, 18:18

Would take the £7000 and do the deal

I bet the reserve is set just below the asking price

Looks like my primrose yellow is still alone in the world......as a diesel model.

The same car was on eBay in Jan for 7k and didn't sell. Do they think it goes up that much over such a short period.

I'm sure it was for wale prior to that as well but I cannot find the thread where we were discussing it.

I will admit that when I was seeking advise on the 75, way before I found this club, I looked at Parkers used car guide, they did say to avoid primrose yellow as it would never resale

It is all down to personal taste, I would of liked one if I got the spec, least you would be seen on the roads

And people would think you sprayed it yourself

Do not think it will sale this time either

Unless I win the lotto this w/e then I will buy it and donate lots of money to the club

But then again I never buy a lotto ticket so I have no chance of winning
