Title: My old Scorpio Ultima
Post by philgood on May 22nd, 2008, 3:14pm
Not sure what category to put this post in but I’ll start here.

Sorry guys

I find this hard to admit but following several unsolved faults, yet 8 faithful years, I have part exchanged my M reg, 2.9/12v Ultima Saloon (Aubergine), as it was going to be costly to get it through another MOT, for an Audi A6 Quattro 2.8.

Already I’m missing it & not sure if I’ve done the right thing. I managed to get £900 off the asking price of the Quattro (officially the trader gave me £500 for my Scorp and I haggled a further £400 discount. He sells 5 cars a day & I buy one car every 8 years so not too bad!).

He now has it up for sale at £1495.00 in auto trader but has £1999.00 in it’s window on his forecourt north London.

If any one was interested in this Scorp & would like more history of this vehicle simply contact me

Good for you Phil.I had a similar thing happen to me a couple of months ago.I understand dealers have to make a profit but some people really take the biscuit dont they.The guy that had mine from me ended up putting it through an auction, but it didnt sell  ;D ;D ;D.He bought it knowing it had quite a few problems & bodged it up to get it running in an attempt to pass it on to some poor un suspecting person.Well he gave me £500 for it then tried to get back a whopping £1400  :o :o.Now with petrol topping £1.20 a litre i think he will be lucky to shift it at all  ;D ;D
