Hi all,
This isn't a final for sale thread just a tester to see how much people think my car is worth if I was to sell it. You all know which car is mine, if you don't look for the project thread called 'my 1.4 china project'.
Good points/modifications:
Lowered on raceland coilovers and gaz rear shocks
Gti rear beam
Full raceland exhaust and janspeed 4-2-1 manifold with sports cat
Mot until march 2013
Tax until April 2013
Smoothed grill, bonnet and boot
Bodywork in good condition
Very good mpg
81,000 miles
Headgasket and cambelt replaced 5,000 miles ago.
Bad points:
May need new wishbones and drop links as it squeaks over bumps ATM
Temperature dial works occasionally
Central locking plays up occasionally.
Banded steels wot be included in the sale, if you want them sensible offers will be listened to.
The question is...what do you think it's worth?

its all good stuff but im afriad most people might see that its still a 1.4. Trying to sell mine never happened and a scrapped it however in mint condition with some nice mods id say a grand or £1100 seeing as its a very late model in brilliant quality. Its worth that but finding somebody who actually wants it may be a problem. Not trying to be negative. Just my 2 cents.

Feck me mate. Why you want to get rid of your car is beyond me. It's pukka. But it's your prerogative.
Lemme know if you do sell, I'll rip your arm off for the right price.
3lv6 here I come! Lol

Jim put it back to std and sell, it is only a 1:4....sorry to say that . If it was a bigger engine then it would be worth good money
Put it back to std, I'm sure peeps on here would help if required?
I'm sorry to be negative after the effort you've put in to it, it's a cool car but only a 1:4....only being a realist

Well, even I'll admit the most money I'll ever get for mine is from the scrapman tbh.
Break it and sell the bits if you want to make some money, but the full cars are pretty worthless now, seen a good dozen locally from 450-800 for tidy cars.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.
