Looking for a 9-5 aero
Discussion
Anyone selling up??
Been on the lookout for a 9-5 Aero estate the last week or so.
Must be an estate, and facelift, preferably '52 onwards with good spec - auto or manual. Have a budget of around £1000, touch more depending on the car.
Had my eye on three this week, all MY03 or MY04, within budget, but all have sold before I could get to view!! Thought I had a local one in the bag when it appeared on eBay last night, only for the seller to tell me it had sold within 10 minutes of listing!!
So if anyone is considering selling, or knows someone who is - please let me know
In the meantime I will be checking the usual places daily!!
As usual there were plenty around when I couldn't buy one, but now I can it's gone quiet, lol!!

I reckon that was the same one - v12 sport & classic?
Sadly they were a 4 hour train ride away so I had to call ahead - but the guy I spoke to was absolutely useless, couldn't tell me any more than the advert did!!
I planned to take a look on the Saturday but it had sold that day.
Nice spec, but I guessed it may have not been perfect at that price - although i'm not after perfection, lol!!

I've seen the one you mention Bryan, looks nice in the photos, but as you say, it seems that the decent & well priced ones are selling fast - certainly I enquired about four last week that had sold within a day or two or listing.
For me, the hunt is over...I found one this morning
'05, auto, 98k, 11 months MOT, 3 previous wowners......all for BB money!
Pretty good all round, needs a good clean inside & out and the headlights could do with a polish, but pretty impressed really. Only thing I missed on the test drive (the car was SORN so couldn't go too far) is that I think it maybe has a bit of a boost leak. On the drive home I noticed it was making a groaning noise just as it comes on boost, and felt a bit flatter than I expected at WOT. I suspect it will either be a leaky vac/boost hose or maybe a leaking diverter valve. Will have a good look tomorrow - hopefully nothing serious.
Will put some pics up tomorrow
