Ford, KA, Hatchback, 2001, Manual, 1299 (cc),3 doors
It is with some regret that I bring my wife's ford KA to the market. We're moving up north and can't navigate bringing both cars with us. So.... The good: Only 54000 miles on the clock Brand new MOT (a full year) Electric windows Air conditioning Cheap to run, cheap to insure Rust repaired already Ideal first car or run around The not so good: Stereo code didn't work, so it's locked out Some lacker peel on the roof Boot only opens from the button on the dash Plastic clip for the bonet snapped but still works So I've been as honest as I can, it's a great little car that's more fun to drive than I should admit and has been more reliable than I expected. I'll co cider offers but only reasonable ones And just incase no I'm not willing to deliver it to I don't know where I'm in sittingbourne Let me know if you want to come see it

Lovely Black Mini Convertible 2004 - for run around or parts
Lovely car, owned for 11yrs, has been very reliable and great to drive. For a 20yr old car, it looks great and is in good condition. It will be a great run around, first car or for parts. - 4x new tyres and refurbed Mini alloy wheels - Interior clean and decent condition - Seats are part leather/part cloth - Working sun roof only - Heated front seats - Cruise control - electric windows - MOT until January 12th 2026 - 1/4 tank of fuel As it is 20yrs old, there are a few niggles: - the roof opens to a sunroof, but does not go all the way down. It is fixable (however it works perfectly as a sunroof so is not a necessary fix) - the side windows can drop slightly when front windows are opened. This has been looked at, and the window regulators need replacing. Been told it would cost between £75 and £150 in total for both using second hand parts. - there are two small wear marks/holes either side on the roof at the point where it fully folds. These have been temporarily 'patched'. - the glove box needs a new lock and currently does not open - There is 1x key and the battery has recently died, so it's currently manual opening/locking. - some wear and tear to interior due to age - in the winter, because it is a convertible, it can get some condensation inside so the back can sometimes get a little damp-ish Category N This literally was a bumper repair in 2023 Mileage: The mileage is 40,000 less than what the clock shows, and is currently at just under 104,000. The mileage clock shows 143,386 as in 2021 the dashboard clock was replaced due to a fault, and the new part had a higher mileage. I have the receipts and the former part to prove this. In addition, if you look at the MOT reports, you can see average mileage 3000-5000 a year, and in 2021 it jumps by 40,000. *Please note, the private number plate has been removed, the registration number is: GP04ZLE*
