I know :wink: there's no such thing as a cheap Cerb but as this is not on PH thought I'd flag it up (don't know/ no connection with car /seller BTW):

Scary thing is, they may accept 6.5k or less!

Looks tired.

If that engines had attention within 3500miles - then its certainly been a fair few years to hit that mileage...

Sorry, from the pictures, it looks like its priced in need of alot of TLC - which IMHO is fair. Not a fan of the colour scheme either - classic or not, the old chewing gum under the desk coloured interior does nothing for me.

I think it'd make an interesting track toy for that price if someone has a bit of money to check/sort chassis.

Strip the crappy interior, decent rubber, and off you go with a fairly fresh engine (assumption)

When it goes bang, pop an LS in, and off you go again thumbup

Has it had flood damage? Worrying amount of silt in the engine bay and kick plate area.

Hmmmm.. A quick wipe down in that engine bay, sills and kick plates would have done wonders. Does look from the pics it may have seen a bit of water, rear carpets also look a bit grubby, but well worth a look at that price, you never know.

It's amazing what gets washed up on the beach nowadays laugh

I said six months ago I was going to try to get a Cerb for around £7K over over the winter. Looked around, then stretched the budget a bit!

The dirt in the door shut lines and under bonnet are just indicative of car living outside imho. Tis deffo worth a good look if you are in the market, being a 96 car there is a better than evens chance the chassis is in better nick than the majority of 98 or 99 cars (assuming an equal amount of neglect of tlc) imhe etc..........

looks a complete dog, you would think to clean it (saying that mine dirty as - because i drive it) but it looks very tired. i would think 6K for a temp bit of fun, but i bet its as rusty as.

shame

That's exactly what I was thinking.


But then again that'd mean I'd have to fix TWO cars instead of one.
