1999 2.0 TCT Break/Estate

Post by XmFinlandia » Thu Jan 02, 2025 6:26 pm

Was searching for a friend for my Y3 Berline - and so 1000km (620 miles) and 15 hour later here is what I got:

1999 2.0 TCT manual Break/Estate
RP 8388
Gris Fulminator (EYP) colour
99k miles

Near mint condition and most importantly, rust free and rust protectant applied multiple times during its lifespan.
Imported to Finland in 2011 from France.
Engine sounds and feels healthy, pulls "like a bull" (got me by a complete suprice with its constant torque!)

Some suspension work is needed as usual, old spheres and some bushings to replace along with fresh LHM. Nothing major.
Interior needs a new headliner as the old one is sagging and is held by pins.

Has Etoile alloys but here she is pictured with steelies.

You probably couldn't get further away from the brief...Y3 berline..

Etoille alloys were produced for the estate and suit it well.
No rust is a real bonus, anything else is both minor and detail. Life would be so much easier if we also drove on the wrong side of the road

Apologies, your English was perfect, I misread the sentence to read you were looking for a Y3 Berline for a Friend.
