My Old Yeti

[James I]

Well, some of you know about my old high mileage Yeti, it is going to the Auction at Brighouse on Friday this week as it has come to the end of the three years lease. Approx 130,000 miles on it and still on the original front pads and discs, clutch, engine, diff, gearbox and cam belt!

 

 I will be seeing it on Friday so will get some pictures.  Keep an eye out for a bargain, DF11JZG

Yes, the calendar does look good this month    That picture was up in the highlands, across towards Torridon and Applecross area last summer.

Yeti was collected from Leeds last Friday, it is now on an airfield somewhere near Lutterworth awaiting its sale through the auction.

 

Exact mileage is 130,489 when it left Leeds, it is need of front pads and discs, it will also need a new dual mass as the one that is on is making a noise when the engine stops, I also noticed a rubbing noise coming from the engine when it was ticking over.

Really, the guy that bought it in Nottingham bought it for £8,500 + costs, he had it advertised for £10,000 obviously with no interest.

[burno20v]

Yep, it's still listed as a lease plan vehicle on website,130808 miles you can view it online if you register BCA (it's free)...

[James I]

It has been in the wars since I gave it up, it did have some chips but nowhere near what they have listed.

It is still for sale on HERE too.  Seems weird Lease plan still have an interest

Seems pricey, even for a 170 Elegance, with 130K on the clock. Presume they are hoping for a winter buyer who wants 4wd in a hurry.

It won't seem so bad when they offer way over book for the partexchange?

Most people don't really know what they should be paying for the car they are looking at, it is an impulse buy, but they do know what their own car is likely to be worth so are keen to deal when they are offered more than they expect, forgetting it is the cost to change which is the important thing....

The seller bought the car in at £8500 plus fees. So £1500 to transport, advertise, store, prepare, finance ..time energy etc... not a lot of wriggle room there on a PX.

Even at £8500 its still well over the top in my book with that many miles on.

Yes it may have a FSH but what about all the wear & tear to the rest of the moving parts?

I for one go on the likes of Whatcar to find out prices of cars I'm looking at & how much mine is worth to get an idea od the cost to change

It still hasn't found a new owner!!!! It's back on BCA,s website up for auction on the 28th at Blackbush....

In all honesty the car drove really well when it went back, if it goes for a sensible price it would be a good car for somebody.
