WANTED: Petrol 406 Estate

Post by MilesS835 »

Hi
I’m looking for a petrol 406 estate, 2.0L manual in China blue if possible, preferably either LX or GLX.

Petrol 406’s seem to be rare now and undesirable?

If anyone is looking to sell one this spec or similar please contact me,
Cheers.

I forgot I posted this :roll: , rather annoying as the 7 seater one would've been perfect!
Anyway, I'm going to look at a red '98 V6 GLX estate tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well and I end up with some V6 power! :cheesy:

Just a question if anyone sees this before I view the car.
What do you reckon a 98 v6 glx estate in non metallic red Would be worth. It’s done 118k and from the photos the interior looks ok, but as is typical the door card fabric is coming away. £800? More? Less?

That seems fair to be honest.
Over the last few months, the prices have risen for old 406s, even poor quality ones are fetching £600, the lower mileage clean ones are nearer £1500...

Well, I got it.
I paid a little more than I'd have liked (£1150) but it might not have been too overpriced?
So it's done 119.5k miles and the engine pulls really strong! overtakes everything :lol: :cheesy:
The interior has cleaned up quite nicely, just the door card fabric coming away from the panel (fixable with glue?)
and as far as the exterior goes, there's a small dent on the front wing, car park ding on the rear door and a slight dent on the rear bumper.
Overall I think it's a really nice car, with working aircon! that's was lovely coming back in 30+ degree weather!
I'll try and upload some photos
