whats it worth and is anyone interested.

pics....








oh, mot has just ran out and is tax till end of may. if the price is right i will mot.

Mot it mate. If you dont, its probably not even worth £500. Bang a mot on it and i reckon you will get £8-900 for it.

Will say ive seen this car in the flesh and with exception for the dent in the back, its absolutely mint! Looks lovely.

cheers.

[Eeyore]

yeh its mint. probably get more splitting the alloys from the car though!

[ozonehostile]

how did you get a dent there anyway?

[Midnightclub]

Imo you'd be much better off returning it to near standard, whacking an mot on it and flogging it then.. you'll make a lot more money back

[Dum-Dum]

IMO it's probably worth £600 even with an mot. End of the day it's a 1.6 5dr with a few mods and needs attention to a couple of bits.

[joelww]

What splitters that youve got on there if u dont mind me asking ? ..

[kentiiboii]

This car is really lovely. I can vouch that who buys this car wont be dispointed. It actually gleems in the sun. Just needs a bit of tlc to bring it back to its glory.


If you break kingy. How much for bumper?

[Eeyore]

id say youd get 700 for the car with mot and 300 for the wheels?

[Toms306]

Being a 1.6, that's what most randomers want (or 1.4s)........but they'd want it standard too though.

I'm struggling to see the market for your car in all honesty, as a normal 1.6 with mot, about £750ish, but as it is you've gotta find someone that wants a modded car.....that's not quick....

Also that dent will really put people off, due to where it is. If its a f*cked bumper or wing, no-one cares, they don't even cost a tenner these days, but being in a non-replaceable part is a pain.

Good luck with it though mate.

[vlj]

but as it is you've gotta find someone that wants a modded car.....that's not quick....

So every 17/18 year old then?

[Toms306]

No, because they can't afford the mods on the insurance.....

I had a modded 1.4 at 18, was such a stupid idea. I coulda got a much nicer car now if I'd saved that money instead of spending two and a half grand insuring a modded 1.4 because I didn't check insurance before buying it....

[Tom]

Since when did 17/18 year olds declare mods?

Some of us are honest!
