Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by PeteB on Jan 25th, 2009, 5:29pm Well Gary emailed me some pics at my request, and has given me permission to post them. Shes looks tip top never seen a 2.0 with all the extras! I would have snapped her up but I'm not a fan of the cream interior. http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0108RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0107RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0106RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0119RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0110RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0112RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0116RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0109RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0111RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0114RE.jpg http://www.rbowley.plus.com/000_0113RE.jpg |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Jan 25th, 2009, 5:56pm Thanks for your help Pete. To be honest, I wouldn't be selling the car if I hadn't lost my job. The previous owner was the engineering director of Dowty Aerospace, he bought it as his personal car and had it regularly serviced, whatever the cost. Just last September, he spent over £400 on it for the MOT. It is a real joy to drive and it will be a shame to see it go. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by Seans_Dad on Jan 25th, 2009, 6:49pm Looks nice Gary. I've just bought an estate, same year, same colour, same interior, same engine and gearbox!! How weird is that? ;D Is it just me, or does there seem to be more and more of the older cars being fitted with the facelift front grille? I personally prefer the older chrome grille, I like my bling! ;D Good luck with the sale Gary. ;) Dan. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Jan 26th, 2009, 3:59pm Is there anyone interested? Am I asking too much? I am open to offers because I need to sell it quickly. I will even deliver the car if needs be. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Jan 31st, 2009, 4:04pm Hi Gary.sadly they don't fetch much after the 100,000K mark....check out the prices on Ebay and you will get an idea of the current value. My brother is looking for a manual at the moment but only wants to part with £300 as it would be a temporary car till his estate is roadworthy again....it's a drop from what you are looking for I know but he is a serious buyer and could collect from Stroud...let me know or PM me...cheers....steve 8) |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Jan 31st, 2009, 11:53pm Very few are in this condition, far betther than on e-bay. £300 is far too low, I am open to sensible offers considering the history of this car. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Feb 1st, 2009, 12:31pm Hi, fully understand but this is usually the mileage where the probs start...he would go to £400 if you could deliver to Macclesfield in Cheshire...suppose that would cover your fuel and train fare home...have you thought about putting her on Ebay?? regards....steve |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by PeteB on Feb 3rd, 2009, 9:14am I'm honestly shocked that no one wanted this car :o Pete |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Feb 3rd, 2009, 9:34am I'm still willing to do a deal with someone from this site. I am negotiable on price but please bear in mind what you are getting for what I am asking. When I bought the scorpio, I also had a BMW 730d, the only main things different between the 2 cars was sat nav, a phone system and leather seats. The scorpio was years ahead of its time and has had a lot of money spent on it to ensure it has many years of driving left in it. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Feb 3rd, 2009, 12:44pm I agree Gozz.....sadly the light/cream interior gets grubby looking and puts a lot of buyers off....my brother is still interested Gary at £400 delivered to Cheshire but leave her on Ebay.....you never know your luck.... ??? |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Feb 3rd, 2009, 12:45pm Just wondered Gary why she needed so much spending on her for the last MOT.....are there other problems needing attention at the next MOT do you think?? ??? |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Feb 3rd, 2009, 1:49pm No other problems that I know of. There was an advisory for a small amount of welding but we are talking £20-30 pounds worth. The majority of the bill was for standard parts being replaced due to wear and tear. The previous owner had the cam-belt done at 105000 miles. Unfortunately, I do not have all the old bills but I think he did a lot of the work himself because he was an engineer. The reason he sold it was because he was getting a brand new Mondeo and the dealership didn't want to take the car in part-ex but gave him a big discount instead. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Feb 3rd, 2009, 2:00pm OK, I have just got out the paperwork. Maybe I should have done this first. The car was first registered on 23rd August 1995 NOT 1996. The advisory was: "Both sill-floor edges at rear and underbody surface rust. s/brake and fuel pipes surface rust, slight play both rear lower arm bushes" The work done for the MOT was Fitting new discs and pads, flexi hoses, brake caliper, rack gaiters, new bulbs and labour. The bill came to £400.69. Not sure how much it would cost to put things right for the next MOT. The previous owner said it would only cost £20-30. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Feb 3rd, 2009, 2:27pm Hi Gary...firstly Scorp's dont have cam belts....they are chain driven and the only reason to replace one on a Scorp is if the old one had broken which always results in engine damage. Usually on either high milers or thrashed cars. The welding as advised I estimate would come to around £100 (carpets out etc) and the rear bushes is about another £50 ish.....although she might drive well now I would take what I could and avoid the apparent upcoming expense at next MOT.... ??? |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Feb 3rd, 2009, 2:35pm Thanks for the help and advice. The wife just told me it wasn't the cam belt on this one. Shows how much I know about cars. I can drive them fine but maintaining is a different matter - thats why I always go to the local garage and end up giving them lots of money for (urgent) repairs. |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by gawsworthboy on Feb 5th, 2009, 11:49am Hi Gary...managed to pick a 2.3 up from Autotrader for my brother.....collecting tonight....paid a ridiculous £250...8 months MOT etc....hoe you get to your reserve...regards.steve ::) |

Title: Re: 2.0 Scorpio Ultima Manual 1996 Post by garym1308 on Feb 10th, 2009, 11:55am Because of the car not selling via e-bay, I am now desperate for it to go. Therefore, I am offering it for £400 plus delivery if required. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested. Cheers - Gary |
