Looking for a Marea Weekend JTD under £1,300...

[Pro]

Hey guys,

as title really, was looking for a 2.4 jtd but cant afford them really unless there are any under £1,300.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated but it does need to be the 'JTD' engine.

"Looking for a Marea Weekend JTD under £1,300..."

Aren't we all !! LOL

They're pretty rare, regardless of price, because those that have them, know how good they are and hang on to them

There was one a month or so ago on FiatForum with every extra (HLX + leather, sunroof, etc) for about £1300 but it went very quickly.

They're a cracking car and great value for money, if you can find one

Good luck

I spotted one in birmingham, about 2 hours from me, but it not leather or extras, has aircon its a 110 jtd

would it be worth lookin gat?

y reg as well £1,295

The 1.9JTD 110 is also a great car. Good engine and the Marea Weekend is just incredible value for money for what you get. It's a big load carrier, drives just like a Bravo/a, the elx & above have a few refinements as standard (body coloured door handles, Poly's, centre console, steering wheel remote). You won't find another car like it for the same money.

As for prices, well, I bought my Mk.2 1.8 115 ELX last year for £1750 with 55K on the clock. It's been a godsend and it's just sailed through it's service.

A 2001 Y plate for £1300 sounds good. Obviously check the service history and mileage. Only real common fault is the anti roll bushes, but these aren't an expensive fix.

if you put in national there's a 125JTD 144 miles away for a grand!

 

[Roberto]

That's the exact same spec, trim and colour as mine (apart from the Aga under the bonnet !).

It's not air-con, but rather Climate Control which is much better

But, 165K is still a bit high. I know it's an oil burner, but I've seen better examples go for the same money with half that mileage.

isnt that a TD?

I was told to go for a jtd because of refinement and reliability.....

@ Matt - That's not a JTD though. It's a TD and they weren't very good. The TD125 is more akin to a Massey Ferguson or John Deere

I'd be looking at the one at Tsc Used Car Supermarket if I were you.
£1,699 and only 65k?!

 

[Roberto]

Yes, Al, but it's a TD. Rough as dogs

I'm still a novice when it comes to the dirty fuel

Think I switch back to petrol

 

[Pro]

well really i was asking if i should consider looking at it?


or anyone you guys know selling one?




damnit, left myself logged in on work pc!

 

[Roberto]

If you want to make the journey, it could be worth a look and maybe try getting that price down too.

As I said, JTD's are rare, especially the 2.4's because they are cherished. I have a daily email from eBay for Marea stuff and there are loads of 2.0L's but hardly ever any JTD's
