Hi all,

to continue from my AWD sale post, I've this car to offer up for sale.

I bought it in July 2014 from a fellow forum user based in Croydon.

It had been keyed down both sides of the car, with scuff damage to both bumpers.

Since then I have pumped €3800 (excluding purchase price) into getting her back to near concourse as possible level and ready for UK MOT requirements.

I've paid out on a completely new front suspension (all components) - T5 Spec.

Full service including (gearbox oil August 2014) and yearly oil change (storage) to keep car sweet.

I paid out big cash to get the car re-sprayed and valeted.

It has addition of an S70R front bumper with inserts, S70R rear badge as well as 3/4 boxes of extra parts I've set aside for the car.

Mileage is a genuine 70,112 (as of checking on it last night).

Beige leather/alcantara mix and as new condition.

It comes with its' original perfos which are in good condition and 4 brand new (bought Jan 2016) snow tyres that have done 858 miles throughout the year when I took the car on local 'keeping it working' spins.

Car is great to look at and has no issues. I've got it ready for MOT so will fly with no issues. Car is rust free and comes with extra front wings for anyone interested in taking all the spare parts away from my life for free.

This car is a real beauty to drive and will last many many years by a person who will respect it as I have.

I'm not trying to sell a lemon to anyone. I just cannot deal with cars anymore. I've reached that Impasse in my Life where it's hit me and I've lost that which was most important to me over the weekend due to my continual purchasing of cars and car parts and broken promises to save.

So there you have it - this car and another in a nut shell, both for sale.

I'm contactable on 00353 87 121 9232 (Ireland) or via viber same number for those of you interested.

Pending sale I also have a set of S70 Crystal headlights and egg crate grill that I bought of Rolling Thunder for £300.00 - these are available separately for those interested. I will sell for what I paid and contact Rolling Thunder for confirmation of sale price if needs be.

My asking price is £1500.00

I can bring as far as Holyhead for cost of ferry over and return and meet at the port. It will need to be trailered from there due to no mot/tax as I believe the UK regs are very stringent with APNR - something less strict in Ireland. Alternatively: Though based in Ireland, the nearest Airport to me is Knock International in County Mayo. I am a 30 min drive from there and more than happy to collect a buyer if they fly into buy. Nearest ports either Belfast, Larne (3.5 hrs. drive each) or Dublin (2.5hrs drive).

No car is worth that what I have allowed myself to lose over the weekend. I may not make up for it at this stage following from my never ending OCD on purchasing part/cars all the time but the time has come for me to call it a day on everything car related.
