It must be a sign the car is looking you back :cheesy:
I remember when i got the clio, 3 months later it developed a fault with the engine cutting out, i brought it back to the dealer and my panda was still sitting there on the forecourt it hadn't sold, if i was allowed i would have give them the clio back and drove home in the panda though.

Theres always 1 you regret selling.

For me it is an old ZX estate TD that I wish I had now. But it was a second car and the GTV took priority (despite it being off the road for months of the harsh winter of 2010 as we waited on parts arriving from Italy).

The rest:
- Clio - Gave to a friend as it was a write off and I wanted something bigger. He managed to get teh bootlid to open and MOTd it
- Orion - Scrapped as it was a lemon
- ZX 1.9D - Sold as I wanted a bigger car
- Xantia 1.8 - Sold as I wanted a less-middle-aged car
- GTV - Sold as it was eating suspension bushes, needed a cat, clutch cylinder and new fusebox
- ZX 1.9TD estate - Sold as it was a 2nd car to the GTV
- 406 Hdi 90 - Sold as the garage could find no wrong with the mounts yet it was jerking about at low speed and the passenger side doors were getting very rusty
- Accord coupe? - Will cost me a fortune in fuel when I move further out...

Never seen one with a lower price though. Although it looks like he's changed your alloys.

£car + £alloys + £tax would probably still be a healthy markup on £car alone.
Nope, I changed the alloys over before I sold it:

As I thought I'd get a better price for the Nautilus wheels than I would for the Hoggars. Only got £85 though. Wish I hadn't sold them now as Berlingo/Partners have the same wheel offset as 406s. He's also left the tax on there. I did notice (through ASKMID) that it hasn't been insured since I sold it. Perhaps he couldn't afford the insurance on a 406 in London? It hasn't done many miles in the past month.

He might have a trader's policy, hence why its not on the Mid.
it works out cheaper in someparts of the country to buy traders policy rather than ordinary insurance cover,

I dunno, it's like buses - wait for ages then 2 come along at once :roll:

2003 Peugeot 406 Coupe V6 automatic, 4,300€

Also http://www.njuskalo.hr/auti/peugeot-406 ... as-4723922

For sale for spares or repair.

The car is completely dismantled, it needs the rear left wing changing. With the body of the vehicle comes a 3.0 V6 engine and automatic gearbox (engine and gearbox are completely ok (my arse)) Also comes a 2.0 16 engine and 5 speed manual gearbox (the engine's sump is damaged but the gearbox is fine.) Also you will get a dash with a good airbag (which has opened and needs complete replacement), a complete leather interior, also small parts like the front and rear bumpers, both headlamps and front windscreen. Car is a 2003 redesign, before the crash it was perfect.

There are many spare parts (I fuggin bet they're are :lol: )

You have to look at the ads to see all the pictures - it looks like a complete pile of junk!

I have tried ringing a couple of times as a potential buyer, but the phone never gets answered.

It would have to be a diesel one, i don't know enough about old peugeot petrol engines, the xud on the other hand is still fairly easy to get parts for.
