how would you guys value those two D reg FCs ?

I was thinking no more than £1000 for the 42k one, and maybe £600 for the other with a bodykit on?

Grizzly

Something like that... I suppose it depends of what someone is prepared to pay? The problem with the 42k one is you may end up biding against an enthusiast who wants it because of its originality

Brett

TBH I would expect the one with 42k to go for about £1500, assuming its milage is verifyable.

i agree with brett,. its probably worth 1500 for the one with 42K, thats a nice low mileage. and you would probably not rusty either! then again i wouldnt be suprised if he was asking 2 grand for it!

Grizzly

MMMM i\'d still check the floor for rust before i handed over my cash.

ramirez

just rang the seller (42K) and although the car does have a current MOT, it needed some welding doing for it - and will do for the next as well supposedly.

I don\'t know. It\'s an old car so I should expect this really, I reckon I can get it for £1150 so what do you think? That is uber low mileage for the age.

Grizzly

Did he say how much welding? Did you ask where and how bad?

If i was you i\'d go down and have a crawl under it for a bit. £1100 is not too excessive for a car in the 40k\'s but it would be for one that needs alot of welding?

But on the bright side it can\'t be too bad if it has a current MOT? How long ago was it done?

may 2005 it turns out, 8 months left.
i\'m growing towards the idea of getting it and keeping it as pristine as I can. I don\'t drive a lot so it might be worth a lot more in the future maybe.

grinder

hummmm i know its only got 42K - but is that good to have such a low milage engine on that age of car ( just to throw a spanner in the works !! )
