Title: Dedra for Sale Post by: ben on 29 March, 2015, 06:55:50 PM Regular forum readers will know that I bought this car principally for my daughter to drive while she was visiting from Australia.It is the 2litre i.e.version with the automatic gearbox so was perfect for someone from a country where virtually all the cars are auto's. It was also exceptional value for money at £750 as it had done just under 66K miles and was/is in excellent condition.
It came with the original sales receipt from Clover Leaf Cars, a full set of MOT's, and annual service history receipts up to 61K miles from the first (lady)owner who kept the car until 2011. After another oil change and fitting a new battery I have now added another 3000 very comfortable miles and of course have fitted all new timing,ballancer shaft,and alternator drive belts. The down-side with it is the poor fuel consumption but if you do the sums and assume a modest annual mileage the difference compared with a modern car is more than offset by the zero depreciation. And it also qualifies for low cost "Classic car" insurance! However it is now surplus to my requirements so I am hoping to pass it on to someone else who can appreciate its qualities. The MOT expires on July 16th. Viewing highly recommended and offers of near £750 will be most welcome.---(I might want to buy it back again if my daughter visits again next year!!) |
