There's a purple 14 plate 1.6 M-Jet Delta S with 20k on clock coming up for sale at auction soon. I spotted it this morning, so it could be a bargain for someone...

 

It does have a few issues from having a brief look at the blurb...i.e. only 1 key, and no V5. It's due a service and an MOT, needs one new tyre, and all 4 wheels refurbing. Poss some paintwork and a dent removing... The attached condition report also states excessive play at wheels.

 

MOT History

 
Date tested 3 April 2017 Pass
Mileage 14,797 miles
MOT test number 9035 4790 3628
Expiry date 23 April 2018
Advisory notice item(s)
  • Nearside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
  • Offside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
  • Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin (3.5.1g)

Hmm purple never seen a purple one before ?? I suspect it is black metallic. Looks quite decent and as they are very unpopular with the general public I guess it could be a bargain, I'm surprised that it has brake pads worn out and presumably all 4 tyres have been replaced (states budget fitted) at such a low mileage. Steering comment seems odd. Well worth someone having a punt on it if the price is right though. Edited by Rossocorsa

Yes it is tempting given what a bargain these are... It does need to go for the lower end of the market price as it probably needs about a grand spending to make it perfect.

I quite like the fact it's a late registered one, and with such low mileage too. I know I've said this before but compare this to a similar spec'd Guilietta and it's a lot of car for the money!

I'd really like a Momo S - what sort of money is it Mikey? Agree it must be black. Purple was not an option.

Yeah it's black as I've just HPI'd it...

 

Difficult to say as it's not on a buy it now, instead will be entered into a normal auction. Anything between 4.5k and 5k as that's the difference between CAP average and Clean. (plus auction fees)

 

Given it needs a few quid spending on it you'd hope for about 4,200/4,300, but depends who's in the room or online...

I would have thought that over£4k might be toppy?

Unpopular model from discontinued brand and also diesel in today's climate will traders go for it?

Given the condition it makes me wonder if the mileage is right you'd have to drive like a nutter to wear all 4 tyres and the front pads out in that amount of use.

Don't agree...

 

It's very unlikely to go for less than Cap Clean to be perfectly honest, and then you have fees on top....

 

As for the tyres and how most people drive these days, aka dry steer out of parking spots, brake late and drive too fast. Then come service time rears swapped to the front it's easy to go through a set of tyres in almost 4 years.

 

As for the mileage it seems to stack up pretty neatly to be honest.

  • April 14 plate car, and at first service in April 16 its done 9678.
  • First MOT on 23rd April 17 its done 14,797
  • and now nearly one year on is reading 20,639.

It's a one owner car bought through FCA own PCP finance scheme. Oh and as for the diesel comment it's a euro 5 engine, so band D with 122g CO2@ £115 for the year so still attractive given the improved mpg over the petrols.

Well I'm just surprised, my pads/ discs are only just near to changing at 80k and I don't drive like a pensioner, presumably it has spent all is life in heavy city centre traffic with a very aggressive driver. Is it possible that the report is wrong and it's on its original tyres that would make a lot more sense? (The report shows it as wearing budget tyres all round) Anyway obviously we will see, I do think that diesel is becoming an general issue though with all the talk of city centre smog taxation it even makes me start thinking that I can't keep mine much longer..... Except that I have no money to swap it. Edited by Rossocorsa

I double checked the specs on Manheim website, seems they adjusted the data and says they stock 2keys.

The S on the dashboard? Is it the momo s trim?

Any difference in the original trim apart from momo design features (the alloys and the interiors and the dark grill)

Yeah they quite often have the second key sent on if it's found... same with the V5 as they've found that too!

 

Momo S is really just cosmetic's. No performance uplift.

The upholstery on the pics look a bit odd, not all leather like the limited edition with the dashboard delta embroided. Looked to me rather grey and faded...

Half leather by the looks of them... But different from my SR, which also has leather 'ribs' running down then..

 

So it's now been entered into the Auction at Bristol on Tuesday 17th April... start time 10am if anyone's interested.

Seems like it was snatched by a local Bristol dealer.

On offer for £6500, seems that it needed little if any fine tuning.

Still on the high end price wise, I wonder what was the the bid for which it was sold at.

I guess the dealer will easily put a grand up for his profits and expenses...

Do you agree guys...
