Title: Anyone fancy a swap?
Post by Pikey on Jan 7^th, 2008, 10:38am

R reg 2.3 Ghia saloon with leather and cruise, manual, in pepper red, 170k, taxed and MoT'd, towbar, perfect working order :)

I might be tempted with a swap/part-ex with another Scorpio with a bigger engine - either the 2.5 diesel or either of the 2.9 V6s. Not fussed on appearance but must have a towbar and cruise control and be taxed and MoT'd :)

I'm in Cheltenham.

Body is straight, sills/arches not rusty, paintwork is generally not that great + rear bumper has a crack on the left hand side.

Tax runs out end of this month so I'll be putting another 6 months on it, MoT til June or July (cant remember offhand)

No service history. I changed the oil when I got it (6k ago) and I'll be changing it again this month.

Thanks for the reply Pikey.TBH im looking for a 2.0l ultima with a manual box,but it has to be immaculate.Might consider a 2.3 but it would also need to be mint with no manifold ,coil pack,or elec probs (Yeah i know) ::).I will have a really nice (2nd place billing) 12 valve estate to part ex / sell.

Well there's nothing electrically wrong with it - everything works as it should, barring the water temp gauge which only works intermittently. Engine is fine, gearbox is fine, interior is immaculate, just the outside shows its 170k mileage. I dont know what the full spec of an Ultima is, my Ghia has electric windows all round, electric mirrors, cruise control, leather, aircon, front heated screen, ABS, driver + passenger airbags, trip computer, 16" alloys - all that comes to mind that's missing is heated seats and a CD player :)

It does sound a good un m8,but as i,ve said the next one will have to be MINT.I dont really have the time to do a restoration.The estate i have at present is finally getting to where i want it.Over 70 hrs work has gone into the body alone,thats before i started on the interior & mechanicals.Shame really as id love to have another project,but time restrictions coupled with Solihull council banning me from working on cars (long story),this will be the last restoration i,d do. :'( :'( :'(

Fair enough, mine certainly isnt mint from the outside.

I dont think the diesel would save me enough money to justify changing cars when I know I've got a good one at the moment, and the autobox puts me off a Cosworth, so I guess I'll stick with what I've got :)
