Drowning my Grenadier (a sorry, soggy saga)

[Tazzieman]

Hmmm, what does P.A.V. £45,000 mean?

Could be predicted assessed value???
The old real estate agent trick....Talk it up, and hope there are a couple of competitive types in the room.

Very likely as that is more or less what NFU Mutual assessed the market value as.

Yeah. I think if somebody managed to buy it for £20k, spend £10k on it and might have a nice Grenadier for a fairly low cost and might even be able to flip it for a profit.

@scottyboy436 has found my old Grenadier on EBay. Based on the advertisement, don't buy it; too much bullshit.

Pardon our interruption...

"BRIEF DESCRIPTION: VERY LIGHT WATER INGRESS, TO CAB ONLY. NO SMELL. EVERYTHING WORKS. AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHERE SEAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. DRIVES PERFECTLY WE HAVE TESTED FOR 100 MILES +. VERY NICE VEHICLE. it would be £72,495 inc vat to order this new today! Take to Ineos to service (due now) reset airbag light whilst there and off you go."

The engine was hydrolocked and the video from the salvage dealer showed it running like an old 200Tdi. The insurance company was prepared to authorise an engine change, so treat the description with skepticism. Check the engine number very carefully!

If you have bought it, contact me via the forum and I can give you various bits that you might want.

The new owner of my old Grenadier has got in touch and has joined the forum.

I will let him out himself if he wants to; I gather he is not a joiner of forums as a rule, (not enough time), so no pressure!

This is a special place though, after all, it got me to join which is a first for me too.
