Inherited a Maestro

[Captain Slow]

Ouch! Let me know when you're feeling a bit better or a bit freer workwise, and if it's still on the cards I'd appreciate it if you'd view it for me.

Great News, took her for an MOT today, and only 3 minor points picked up.

Slight Exhaust Blow

Great News, took her for MOT today, and only 3 minor points picked up.

Slight Exhaust Blow
Blocked Washer Jet
Fuel pipe leaking

All these will be sorted tomorrow and she will have 12 months MOT.

I will then advertise her on here for reasonable offers, to a GOOD HOME.

Cheers. Alan.

Well done Alan!

I'm glad you took the time to sort the car out - its good to see someone coming on here with a car and trying to make sure it stays on the road rather than the usual people putting stuff up for sale with no MOT etc!

I'm 100% sure you'll find a buyer now - hopefully to a good home and with a decent price for you!

someone on here must be interested!!

Alan, you might find putting an asking price up will help - that or run it yourself?!

[Guest]

Cheers, I have just added my price, i think £500 is reasonable, it's just cost me a bettery and the MOT, but i would rather it went to someone who was going to look after it????

Found this on eBay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-AUSTI...-/290626685598


Not sure what this means though (from the description)

This car would suit a genuine classic car / maestro enthusiast - if they exist?

of course we exist!

he must think for the past two weeks all his questions have been answered by automatic computer responses.

Only said toungue in cheek chaps, no offence intended, however, i did think this would have been snapped up by now? And it wouldn't even have been on ebay without your advise on getting her started and MOT'd. Cheers.

At the end of the day, its only an ebay advert to get people interested or whatever...

i hope you do well on it Alan. at least you took the time to get it on the road, and hopefully it'll go to an enthusiast

Just been looking at the photos again on ebay, and it really does look a nice car.

what you have to weigh up is that its interior looks mint, all 4 doors look really tidy, as does the bonnet and tailgate. the sills should be ok if they were done 4 years ago.

the only bad bits look like the back bumper needs spraying. the front wings could do with changing and the rear arches could do with repairing - but dont look totally dead.

If I didn't have too many cars already I'd give this serious consideration. front wings could be found for less than a tank of fuel. then spraying up at a decent bodyshop wouldn't cost too much? the rear arches are the only hard bit to deal with. how much to get them professionally done - and would you really want to initially - or could you just deox gell them and paint them in as a temp fix?
