Carlton Estate 2.0L CDX Manual

[Insight]

*Edited* Added dog guard, roof rack bits and door seals issue)

So, the girlfriend doesn't like the Carlton and has been given a Peugeot (gah!)  

£500 ONO

Subsequently it is for sale! (The Carlton)...

• Mileage: Just under 100k
• MOT until March 2011 (On the MOT the only advisory was the indicator lens and failed on windscreen wiper blades, since replaced)
• Tax until end of July 2010
• 3 good tyres, 1 getting tyred (geddit) (have set of 4 omega alloys and very good tyres - could do a deal)
• Tow bar
• Original CD multi changer!!!111 (may or may not actually work)
• Good interior
• Some joker bumped into the front of the car and cracked bumper and grill
• Missing offside front indicator lens
• offside fog light lens cracked
• lacquer peeling on door tops
• Wonky water level sensor
• Central locking not entirely functional
• Includes Metal dog guard
• Includes roof rack fittings (cross bars, clamps etc)
• Offside rear door, rubber seals along sill has come away

Things my brother says will be useful to know:

• Rear door shuts and arches pretty rust free
• Front strut tops to bulkhead very rust free
• Very rust free in all the usual places
• Has had a small patch to front chassis leg and front inner arch

I am listing all the faults to be totally honest with you but all round it is a sound, rust free (relatively for a Carlton), mechanically sound Carlton Estate that has driven some decent length journeys without issue and in stop start traffic. Will take photos of specific parts (you may have to draw me a map) on request.

Now for the pictures!!

Chris and I have seen this in the metal, as it were.

Its a bloody good example that just needs tidying up IMHO.

[flash911]

[Jimmy]

So what happened to this motor?

[Insight]

Still for sale!

[Jimmy]

Pics wont show now....

[Insight]

Ah nuts, yes. I had an issue with that web server which I haven't been able to bring back up yet.

I will put them up elsewhere and renew the images. Thanks, Jimmy.

Photos now sorted..

This is still for sale chaps, mostly because I have been too lazy to get the thing advertised on auto trader which I need to get done this evening.

Anyone interested? The other half has put a restriction on it, I need to get it on auto trader and sold in a month or she is scrapping it (it is her car) as she is fed up with it.

I would rather have it go to a carlton head than some random on the trader.

[Jimmy]

I really hope someone on ere takes it, coz we dont want it going to the scrap, espesh when its in good nik, my finger's are crossed for you dude, good luck

[Insight]

Hah! Change of plan

She is still for sale but will not be scrapped! I 'put my foot down' lol...

Spose the gf figures I have to win something once in a while
