Thank you for looking at my Frontera 2.0i Niagara.
I bought this car many years ago as second vehicle so that could travel up/down my hill in the winter (running my own business) but it has pretty much been parked up following several warm winters. The only time needed to use it was few years ago in snow and it was fantastic. have occassionally used it as normal vehicle when my wife has the car and it runs and drives very well.

The good bits:
I have every reason to believe the 65k mileage is genuine, think it's pretty much always been second vehicle.
The two metal fuel pipes from the tank to the drivers floor have been replaced with rubber fuel hose.
The alternator has been reconditioned recently.
The clutch slave cylinder has been replaced (last year).
The spare wheel is believed to be good and useable.
There is acres of space for back seat passengers or the back seats fold down to leave large boot space.
The top of the rear cab is removable for those sun baked summer days (!?!)
I have every reason to believe the car will readily pass it's mot in April.
With good charge in the battery the car starts first time every time (even after months of not running !).

The bad bits:
The exterior has number of rusty parts as it's been left parked for long periods.
   The front bumper (see photo)
   The sills which have been repaired on the drivers side (photo), the passenger side is ok... just.
   The cross member under the radiator has rotted but is apparently not part of the mot.
   The front bonnet has rust on the front corners (photo) and the rubber 'stoppers' left & right are missing (receiver holes rusted).
The interior heater blower switch can either be off or on full, the positions in between leave the blower off (resistor blown).
There is only one key (chipped) for the ignition.
The front nearside tyre looses air over 2-3 day period, believe it's common with these rims. Reseat or replace should fix it.
There is very slight 'wander' in the steering but it's not serious enough to worry about (not an mot failure).
The interior would benefit from valet as it's been parked for while.

Summary:
I believe this would make an excellent car for someone who doesn't mind the aesthetics too much, mechanically sound and reliable. Please remember this is an old car and as such shows it's age however, if the mileage is to be believed (and have no reason to doubt it) it should continue for many years mechanically.

I am selling this car in good faith as no longer need it and hope it will find caring new home :)

Please remember you are bidding to buy, if you are unsure viewing is welcome (Llangollen area). No tyre kickers or time wasters please.
