Title: Looking for a new home!!!
Post by Danny_R on Sep 12^th, 2006, 6:18pm

Hi all,

It is with great regret that finally admit defeat and sell my Scorpio. It may come a shock to some people on here especially some of the oldies considering the Scorpio was and still is the car I always wanted to own since a kid. I have run out of options trying to get it to America and come to the conclusion that it's near impossible to make the vehicle meet the US DOT standards so she has to go.

She's a 95 (M) 2.0 16v Ultima Saloon Auto, Dark Aubergine, Black Raven leather interior, Parking Radar, usual Ultima specification. Absolutely everything worked before I came to the US. Since then the scorp has graced the driveway of my grandmothers house since late 2004. I've been informed the exhaust is hanging just behind the muffler and the car wont start, I’m almost certain this is either due to a dirty battery terminal or the ignition fuse. The car ran PERFECTLY before I came here so I don’t think it will be anything major. Basically, I cant see me getting back to the UK any time soon and I don’t have anyone in Leeds mechanically minded that can sort the car out for me. It doesn’t have tax or MOT and WILL need to be towed from my grandmothers driveway. She is based in Armley, Leeds, West Yorkshire. I would LOVE this car to go to someone on here that would get her going again, it really is too good to scrap. I'm selling the car cheap, 150 pound and it's yours. Just make sure you have a means of towing it. V5 will be included, it's currently in my grandmothers name and is SORN to her address.

Just to add, the CD exchanger is in the trunk and works perfectly. I also fitted a newer RDS7000 unit in there which will be included. Pictures will follow just as soon as my father takes some over the weekend.

If anyone’s interested PM me or email me at: crownvic71@yahoo.com.

I need this car gone ASAP. If anyone has any questions about the car please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards

Hey Baz,

Sold it to a guy for 100 pound, said he needed it for spares, it was parked on my grandmothers driveway for 22 months and she was getting annoyed about it so I needed a quick resolution which unfortunately meant my baby had to go and fast. shame really because it feels like part of my life has been taken away. She was a beauty! still, at least I can say I owned one.

The old man still has his. Apparently it's starting to suffer with rusty arches and faulty electrics again.

You take care of that sexy looking Scorpio of yours. Trust me you really dont appreciate something until it’s gone. I KNOW!!!

Kind Regards
