What's the lowest amount of money

[cwspellowe]

..someone would have to offer you to take your car off your hands, no questions asked?

Obviously if some lunatic offered £100k for it you'd run off into the sunset giggling like a child. But what's the bare minimum to force your hand into a sale?

Reason I ask.. someone offered my missus £2.5k one day, came back a week later then offered over £3k for the tank. At the time it drove like a sack of shit and I wouldn't want the "take it back, it's crap" routine. But sold as seen, and now the niggling problems have been sorted, I hate to say it but i'd snatch his hand off and go for a nice S13 or DC5...

[Matt]

3k and I'd part with the Rallye, just because the car I have had my eye on for a while is 3k lol

[cwspellowe]

Similar to me then. Think that's an amount that would see me able to get something half decent and keep it tidy. Only reason the tank's gone this way is it wasn't that good condition to start with and its now extremely low maintenance.

[vlj]

No questions asked absolutely no come backs, no nothing later on? Still wouldn't be worth more than £800 to anybody tbh...

[cwspellowe]

So vlj if someone came to you and said "I have £800 here, I want your car" and no repercussions, you'd sell? Bear in mind unexpected downtime from having no car, having to find another etc?

[Just Sean]

2k would swing it for me i guess

[Niall]

4k but only because its not my daily so it's not like I need to worry about going out and buying something else quickly

You said the minimum you'd take, that is the minimum. I have another car I can use whenever I need to, so downtime isn't an issue for me. Obviously if someone offered me more I would also take it, but the question was what was the least you'd take!

[sam]

Id take 1.5k for mine

Didn't know you had access to another car, fair enough. £800 seemed a little low for someone to just take it off your hands, that's all.

If it were in 2 weeks time, and the cooler, turbo & all other related shinies were on, I would be looking at a price nearer to £2k to cover the parts, time and effort put into it - your car has all of that & the uniqueness already included, Matt's Rallye is a white rallye so has its value etc, as it stands right now mines just a 160k old estate with 6 months T&T.

[C.A.R.]

A bag of sand.

Then I can buy something similar again...

I'm not that attached to the 306, if someone gave me the going rate for it then I'd gladly sell it!

I was really attached to the MX5. Had a fortune in shiny bits on it and when it came to selling up I put it up for £3,500 - which is about £1,500 over the going rate.

It sold for £3,300 though, which just proved how good an example it was!

[Eeyore]

id probably want £800 for the estate seeing as its got full years T&T on it. £700ish for the 1.8 as its already been lowered properly and is a mint example.

[Ed Doe]

I'd want about £4.6k for mine with the Turinis. I realise that's a lot more than the going rate, but it reflects the fact it's my only means of transport meaning I'd have to get another car lined up properly quickly. There are also a lot of shiny parts and a lot of Sam & Niall's time and effort gone into making it what it is now.

It also slightly takes into account a significant amount of money towards the car I'd want next...

EDIT:

Might have to revise that 'walk-away price'....!!!!

WISH I could afford that right now!!! With summer coming up that would just be too epic!!

[procta]

id take 1000 for my HDI, my rover metro I will just scrap anyway, maybe sell a few bits on from it.

[Piggy]

a grand would swing for my project

[Chris_90]

lowest i would take for mine as it is would be £750, but i a real world i doubt i would sell it, just keep it till it dies then probably just put another engine in lol and keep it going till it blows agin

[Toms306]

£3k....long as I get back what I paid I don't really care. I dont get attached to peices of metal lol, I dont really get attached to anything tbh!

[4WayDiablo]

I'd take £1k for mine tbh

[Arron]

Between £1200 - £1500

[Pete]

The vans that f*cked at the moment I'd probably take 1k for it I'd be happy to take £800 for the Coupe once I've MOT'd it and got some tyres TBH, A loss but no-one wants a 25mpg 3.0 V6 these days lol.

[Curt]

£1200 for mine I'd say, would be enough for my next project

[puglove]

If i didnt want to sell it and and didnt have my mind on another car (never seriously do though) id want 6k for the incovenience of not having a next car planned,

[kentiiboii]

Mine at the moment. Id be looking at what I paid which is £900. Its still got plenty of t&t and ive sorted skme of the nigglies out. I personally think I paid a little too much fr the car looking at paintwork but its got a good engine on it at 100k all motorway.

After I've had smooth bonnet boot resprayed and the 17s on and other shinies id be looking at more like 1.7k for me. All the effect that I put into my cars its the east I could ask for. Specially with the coils and 17s and what not

[Slam Wagon]

At least 3k and that would be some serious thought. Id struggle to find something id like that suits my needs and that i want to drive.

[Birk]

Depends what car, about 5k for the Dimma with Gti lump, or about 9-10k with turbo lump.

[ArmzSC6]

I think 6k and I'd sell my supercharged 6. Though ive spent much much more over the 5-6 years ive had it and sooooo many hours...
Then go buy an Evo 6 like I want to in a couple of years anyway.

[karl1989]

£800 for me. i would be loosing out alot and would'nt like to see it go

[RePT]

Would take an suzuki sv650 in exchange! If i were desperate, £400-600.

[Rippthrough]

I'd take a grand, but it's probably worth about 50 pence unless you break it for parts...
