Best of the Bargain Basement Vol. 2
Discussion
It's floaty, it's French and it has an auto 'box... could there be a more relaxing tip car?

Or what about this...
Lady owned Galant with history, 2.5 V6 and auto 'box, just £495. Test till December.
Annoys me, "lady owner" so what? its got parking dinks and and kid slime on the rear seats? Its just as easy to make assumptions either way, better to just show the car...Lady owned Galant with history, 2.5 V6 and auto 'box, just £495. Test till December.
Still looks like a steal at this price, the short and pricy tax (well vs the price of the car) is probably the cause.
This is my shed of the week:

£750 later...
Full service history to 2013. No rust in the usual W124 places. It has a fresh set of Michelin tyres to boot.

It hasn't been removed, its the link that's dodgy. If he has the ebay number for the item you can just make a link like this

Yes the link's broken, but the fact he said '£750 later' implies he's bought it.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/*************

Doesn't look quite so glamourous in Brum!
But I think poster has purchased, but does sound very good for the money, with tax, mot and sensible miles

Saab 9-5s.
I know own about the sump sludging up. Is this a petrol only malady or does it affect diesels too?
Currently shopping for an auto diesel estate and 9-5s are on my shortlist.

2.2 is an old Vauxhall dog
3.0 is an Isuzu engine that likes to implode
I'd stick with the tried and tested 2.3t or look for a Volvo D5

Lovely. I drove CDG's w124 estate and it made me appreciate the feeling that an open back w124 has over the 4 door - range rover-esque and a very pleasant place to be.
I don't believe the "no rust" though!
Its not perfect but the only real rust I have found is on the bonnet where a few stone chips have corroded and a tiny spot next to one rear window. There are plenty of minor dents, scrapes, a few poor touch ups and some small areas of laquer peel however. I don't believe the "no rust" though!
I have had the car up on a ramp to investigate this morning. The rear axle mounts, sills, floors, inner wings, front wings and other usual 124 trouble spots are all rot free (for now...).
