Another bargain!

[steve_earwig]

It's no me I'd have to justify it to...

[highlander]

Buy one that matches the colour of her favourite shoes.

[steve_earwig]

Er, no it doesn't. In fact, amongst the hundreds of pairs she has stashed in various cupboards, corners and cubbyholes, I've never seen a pair anything like that colour. Now, if it was brown...

[Ares]

excellent condition

In Croatia I thought that means "its only had a major accident repair" rather than "its been in a catastrophic accident but now looks ok".

Since price of petrol is sky rocketing every week,we dont get much chance to destroy cars in high speed chases,cars are beeing destroyed by shitty roads

Steve,you can always wrap the car with that nylon and dont forget o print her name all over the coupe

[steve_earwig]

That's not what I've seen, it doesn't seem to have slowed anyone down. The high road in Jaska was closed again Tuesday with another pile of cars Mind you, they were diesels, judging by all the stains it's left on the road after they swept the bodies & car parts up...

I couldn't do that - she might think she's meant to drive it!

Here is another 406 i seen on Copart:

http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSearch.h ... CH_RESULTS

It looks like an ex taxi, it also seems to have some sort of improvised com2000 fix.

[lozz]

it looks like its got a few useable parts, not many tho,
perhaps fuses /relays wheel bolts,

note how saloons bend upwards and estate bend down wards weird eh,

you aint buying that old nail are you ,,, ?

[FarmerPug]

the back looks like its bent, do you think its fubard?
Ive put a bid on it for £150, there isn't too much of a risk in that

[lozz]

do you think its fubard?

honestly mate, iwouidnt waste anytime on it, it needs putting out of its misery
its for the crush imho,

itwill have been run into the ground, engine wise, tyres are as shiny as the moon,
interior needs burning , you wont see many good parts off it

There is a set of lights, doors, bonnet, windows, possibly (but not likely) rust free sills, a 5 dial gauge, rain sensor, and other bits and bobs.

Here is a better 406, well the cars a bit of a turd, but it will probably just get bought for the leather seats and door handles

The beige dash panels are a bit revolting.

[lozz]

its better than that old taxi,

[FarmerPug]

The old taxi might be alright, the taxi mot is more strict than a regular car mot, and some taxi drivers look after their cars, that one might have been reasonably looked after to have reached 250k miles

[lozz]

Not over here theyre not mate,

they just get abused,
its only Tx'4s that get looked after,

Agood mate of mine owns a fleet of taxi's some nice motors but after amonth or so a 08/09 reg looks like a shed.
the pissed up punters don't care they puke up in them and just make amess,
once they get chewing gum and shite on the seats they just give up and just run it into the ground.

I seen when i was getting the clio tested a C5 taxi in front, it got a much more rigorous checking than the clio, even the spare tyre and tools had to be displayed.

The only an old taxi will have is that horrible smell of BO being covered up with cheap airfreshners.
