£331, absolutely ridiculous value eek!
BUGGER !

That's exactly what I was looking for as a winter hack I'd have happily paid £500+ for that

No 306 cab will ever be cheap enough.

The one the wife had was an auto though, that might have been a good deal of its crapness.
They look quite ungainly with the roof up too (too high, perhaps?), especially from the back. Saw one on the motorway the other day and it just looked really badly proportioned.
When new the Press reckoned it was best looking Cab around - don't see it myself either.

I like the looks of the 306 cab, not my style but they look much nicer than the typical car of the genre.

I also like this - 45k miles, terrible photos, and it looks so sad (it's only the 820). £495

"4 Door Saloon, Automatic, Power steering, Electric sunroof & windows, Genuine low mileage with full service history, MOT's and new MOT, Excellent condition, Drives as NEW, Superb car, Future classic. PX possible. £495"

On the topic of slightly rubbish barges, this seems okay for £575 and only 52k miles, the V6 2.5, and a year's MOT.

Point of order please - Omegas are not rubbish! They just don't have the same sort of image as an E39, but are not far off as capable.

Brilliant thread people. Some of you have a real talent for finding nuggets in the mud!

I need a snotter capable of carrying 4 muddy blokes, 4 mountain bikes internally plus a bit of kit for under a bag.

Saw a Nissan Largo for £550 but know nothing about them. Any ideas on something that will do the job and not potentially die on me?

It just popped up first when I started looking on AT. Never seen one before and that's only down the road from me - back row out, 4 bikes in and still room for 4. Bad sign the MOT/tax runs out so soon?

Thought i was quite up on jap stuff but thats passed me by,they look ok tho dont they,something different.
Listed as spares or repair tho and much cheaper than the others.
If theyre anything like bongos theyll be a tad thirsty too.
I used to have a hearse,that would be ideal with the deck out,4-6 seats and dead comfy too.

Thought that one was too good to be true, although he's got on the bay without saying its for spares/repair.

Hearse would be a great idea!

You're comparing apples with oranges. A Right-hand-drive 9000 with a top-spec, Swedish LHD 900 Cabrio? Given that a soft-top in Sweden = big money to the point where an MGF/TF, a car worth £500 in RHD is worth ten times that in Swedish-registered LHD form? Plus it's got that its not an import in the ad which is pretty much a good sign its someone asking silly money - most of the ones on Blocket are up for ~£6k-8k and that's LHD in the home market.
Here's an RHD 900 Cabrio for comparison - £2.5k.

That 9000 is going to go up a little in the long run and yeah it'll probably be worth £2k in a few years time, but so are most things on here. It'll be nothing like the 900 Cabrio, or the dramatic rises in value of stuff like 205GTIs etc.

Personally, I think 9000s have further to drop before they start to rise again, if they ever do.

Not just the best looking Cab around.....

Did they ever truly believe that do you think? Really?

If they did, I don't see how they could live with the shame.
