thinking of selling my 850 t5 auto 74k

[Yorkshiresxi]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but didnt think cars for sale was the rite place just yet lol

well been offered a bmw 330d today at silly to good to miss money so thinking of letting the t5 go to a new home
but of course i dont know if i should put a 900 price tag on it or a 600 price tag on it.
ITs a m reg black saloon t5, auto, 74k well 75 after weekend as going to btcc at donnington in it. It has a 304 rica ecu in it, aftermarket boost guage and oil catch tank fitted. Other then that its a it was out of the box.
Mot i think is july aug and tax ends this month but will end up been taxed i guess.
Drives 100% , slight oil leak from turbo return pipe but other than that its sound
comes with a 16t and a other remapped hlm ecu i think too.
boosts at 15/16 and pulls good and strong.
interiors in good condition - well will be when i clean it, but bodywork is tatty, not rust but its had some panels resprayed and isnt at its best, also front bumpers tatty too. O stacks of paper work too!

really dont want to sell it but cnt keep doig 22mpg everywere. but then again if you guys say its worth 500 quid i might just keep it for summer fun.

So what you lot reckon?

[Yorkshiresxi]

oppppss.... just checked its out of mot so would have 12 months on

[bigrotch]

any photos mate

[dalhousie2008]

bit of a bargain if you ask me, im sellign similar but a manual.

[dalhousie2008]

i'd swap lol prefer black and mine just had a new clutch

[Yorkshiresxi]

Theres some pictures on here somewere...just got the kids here so will be back with some pics at bout 7 ish chaps....i would rather it go to someone on here then on ebay to be honest

[t5_monkey]

a 330d will be about as quick with far worse ride and better handling...

how many miles do u do a year, is it worth changing ?

[Yorkshiresxi]

I dont do that much to be honest, i have done 9k in it since i got it, but i get diesel for free from work and its just so tempting...i have to make the move as iam not doing the t5 justice, it only gets used for the kids now :-(

[Kingsford G]

Black is nice.Rotch think about it as u still have black bits to go on it.

If you get free diesel you'd be mad not to mate :)

[dalhousie2008]

As long as its not the red type, a friend of mine runs his on kerosene heating oil.

Older diesels u can run on vegy oil but new ones will die.

[T5frankie]

may be interested in the ecu mate

[Yorkshiresxi]

may be interested in the ecu mate

break it :-( would be heart broken...dont think i could break it reckon it would just have to sit in the garage and be a summer car if no one wanted it

And yeah its the road going type of fuel not the cherry cola one lol

[dalhousie2008]

Its always harder to sell an auto from what i've seen, i think most prefer manuals, but i have both and like both

[smithson007]

Does it have leather mate or just fabric seats?

[T5frankie]

break it :-( would be heart broken...dont think i could break it reckon it would just have to sit in the garage and be a summer car if no one wanted it

And yeah its the road going type of fuel not the cherry cola one lol

you have 2 remapped ecu's?

[Yorkshiresxi]

Sorry yeah i do have 2 remapped ecus.... also a dump valve too i think somewere
how do i upload pics on here again?
best thing about a auto is plant the foot down and only take it off when your scared lol

[smithson007]

What interior does it have please fella?

[Yorkshiresxi]

Black leather pal, manual seats though with a double cup holder too!

[WOODY T5]

did u get my pm?

[Yorkshiresxi]

just replied ;-)

[Yorkshiresxi]

few more pics

[Kingsford G]

I've got some in laws in hull so next time i'm heading up there i'll gus give u a shout to c if we can meet up boys if thats ok.

[Yorkshiresxi]

yeah buddy sounds good

[smithson007]

Do you have a price in mind yet mate?

[Yorkshiresxi]

would love to get 800 but dont know pal...guessing more like 700 ish

[T5Tom]

What dump valve is it and how much are you after for it?

[Yorkshiresxi]

Its a baileys one...the blanking plate is fitted on the car
Dont know pal not even thought of it..
So the options are...
sell the motor with the 16t turbo and the 2 spare ecus, orginal and t5r remapped one, dump valve.
Or sell the ecus seprate, turbo, dump valve and car as is.
It it goes on ebay then i might do that as then i could sell the car for like 600 maybe and get an extra £150 maybe for the other items not sure.
:-( brakes my heart to sell it to be honest
o and its in for mot today so its either going to love me and be a easy mot or hate me and kick me in the §§§§!
