206wasstarletpower Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hey all, right i have been a member on here for ages, as i used to own a starlet. But this club had only just started and I was more of a member on TOC.But now after years of different cars i am back in the market for a starlet, hopefully a clean sr. Not desperate at the moment but once a few things are sorted it will be time to buy.So if anyone in the East anglia area is thinking of selling please get in contact.Oh heres my old starlet, some might remember but you will have to be old skool lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure you put a newbie post like this but ages ago, welcome back anyway ;)I did come back after i had a 206 and was looking for a glanza, but a t sport yaris won me over instead. So never got the glanza.Have a mk7 fiesta now but have moved in with my girlfriend so we are selling her mini and then i will get a sr and she will have the fiesta.From Newmarket but in a tiny village called lidgate.

206wasstarletpower Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Right i have found 2 starlets for sale, one is not far from me and the other is about 2 hours away.Not far from me http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2403898.htm2hours from me http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2404132.htmNow pros are, the one that near me has 6 months MOT and 6 months tax, and the guy who owns it is a mechanic and has serviced it at vw.But its done 99k which i know its not terrible but...The one 2 hours away has done 74k, looks very clean from the pic,12 months mot and just been serviced, but no tax and dont really fancy driving it without tax, but thinking maybe about seeing if he will tax it. As i am only gonna knock it off the asking price.Thing is they are both up for the same price???Are they about right or do you think either is over priced?Which would you people opt for????

So will update as of saturday as hopefully i will have brought it if a deal can be agreed. And this one is black so be nice to get a black sr.

206wasstarletpower Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oh my mind has been pt to peace tonight as i have been reading up on the ticking/knocking noise which seemed to appear today on my sr, worried it was something bad but from what i have read its injectors. Thats a weight off my mind. ;) Got it booked in next week for a cambelt change next week as seems it was last changed at 31k, and its now on 72k.Will start a thread up at the weekend....oh first mod was removing the wack fensport sticker from the front.
