54 Reg 4.8is - Sold

Post by Pete » Fri Jun 09, 2017 2:14 pm

I'm just giving people the heads up on mine as there will be two prices. First one is as it is (with a couple of niggles) then, if I get the chance I am going to fix the niggles  but then obviously sell for more.

I have a 54 Reg 4.8is, sapphire black, 134k miles, 5 owners, black heated leather seats with wood trim. The self level suspension has been removed but (niggle 1) it currently triggers a warning on the dash saying it is inactive. Niggle 2 is that the satnav isn't working. I initially thought this was the disc as there was a copied disc in the reader but having purchased a genuine disc it just says 'Please wait' when I select sat nav. The radio, cd changer, cpu etc. function fine though.

Other than this it is a decent car and I feel that offers around £4300 would be fair and would give plenty of scope for someone to get things sorted out.

Since owning it I've replaced the heater control valve, some door handle carriers have been replaced and some replacement linkages. There are no dents, plenty of tread on every tyre (I'd say 5mm) the panoramic roof functions as it should and I was told it was replaced under warranty at some point, it has fully working folding mirrors. Rear bushes were done a couple of years ago. It pulls well, sounds lovely and looks great. I'm selling as I am now teaching on a supply basis and having to travel much further than the 3 miles a day I used to. I'm not interested in a px as I now have an A3 tdi. I have had lots of offers between 2800 :)) and 3600 but feel that as it is, is worth more.

9months MOT, last advisories were that the handbrake will likely need adjusting and there was slight corrosion to brake pipes - if you want to do a history check the previous plate was OO03 JCT. Lots of receipts and full service history (mixture of dealer and Indy). Three service lights remaining.

Here she is:

I'll add more photos as soon as I can.

Thanks for the help and feedback. I think It's a fair price to ask too. Also, if anyone has a scanner and would turn it off I'm happy to pay. I'm in East Lancs between Burnley and Bury

Unfortunately I gave my scanner away to a member on here when I sold my E53. I have the Carly app now, but I've looked on their site and it doesn't have the option to turn off the dash warning.
Pity as your not too far from me.

It says it is not compatable with 64 bit systems, some have had it working on windows 7, but it's easier to install on XP.
God only knows if win 10 will entertain it.
I have just dug out my old laptop that I used specifically for my scanner, it takes 10 mins to boot up, but has the software and drivers installed.
You welcome to borrow it if you can't get the software to load on your PC.Image

Thanks Horizon that's great. I think I have a very old laptop which I nearly threw the other week - I have a feeling it has XP on. I've ordered one of those scanners now so fingers crossed it 's compatible etc.

Just posted this up for anyone in the future who is doing a search into deleting the air suspension  check warning , after they have fitted coilovers or springs.

Just a quick bump on this.

I've had loads of offers between 2800 - 3700 on this.  I've currently got four cars in the house so it has to go and  something slightly higher will take it.

I'm sorry but I have no idea. It was already fitted when I bought it. If there's a way of finding out, I don't mind checking.

I've had a lot of offers on it around 3000 -3800 but then and unfortunately a few time wasters who don't even turn up (not sure why people get off on this >:().  I thought it was well worth 4300 but it didn't go for that, so I've just put it up for auction and whatever it sells for, so be it as I don't have the time to be messing around.  Someone will get a pretty decent deal.
