What are 20v n/a prices like at the moment?

Given the rubbish year I've had, considering a replacement motor as a treat to myself but was wondering what my coupe might fetch...

- 97P, c.87k on clock
- leather/ac/sunroof
- FSH, belts done a couple of weeks ago by PF, about to have a new thermostat (wishbones fine, pads and discs fine front and rear)
- Strut brace
- Mint VIS wheels with 4 virtually new Toyo Proxes
- Bodywork pretty good for age - needs £200 spent to tidy up some damage on the rear (which I may get done)
- few dints, dents and stonechips as expected, plus the obligatory rusty slam panel (but none of the orange stuff on the bodywork afaik)
- Has never ever not started on me or broken down *touches wood frantically*
- MOT/Tax until April-ish
- I also have a different chip that the previous owner bought for an astonishing amount (improves fuelling not power apparently)

I've had it for 2 years, another ex-forumer had it for 2 years before that

So whaddya reckon, would probably not be in that big of a hurry to sell unless I find something else that I have to have...

2k

About what I would expect... obviously the colour adds a premium

True -

OK then £1,995

Adds, not detracts

I'll give yo £1500, would have been more but for the colour

A bit harsh from the owner of a pink Coupe.

2k sounds about right.

one word - plus.

Which pink plus did you buy?

It wasnt advertised anywhere...am having a new clutch fitted next week - then tart it up a bit before unleashing it ...alongside its little brother

Sell the strut-brace and chip (if it's worth anything) seperate.

Why? The chip yes, but the SB (only cost £60-odd new)?

Don't sell!! You are too young for a midlife crisis!! You'd have to spend a hell of alot more to get the same pleasure - from a car!

I thought strut-braces were hard to get hold of, or is the 20vt one different?

Not difficult for an n/a - Alt Auto have them (I think they do for the 20vt too but most people are too mean to pay for a new one )

Mwahahahahahahaha!! Out of all the comments, and I'll ignore the pink comments, that was the funniest one of the lot!



Join JimO on his search for a car to recapture your youth.................he can't have run away that far!


First dibs on the strut brace!

Vicks, YHPM

Don't sell 'im the strut-brace Vicks!

It isn't the strutbrace he's interested in

The cad! Unhand that fair maiden!

Oi, not much of the fair

Regular as the seasons, its Vics Coupe dilema. Every year, last time it was nearly the upgrade to a banana plus

Of course...

You mean you're bald as a coot?

No, that's JimO...

Oi, I have a full head of hair, now Bonkers thats a different thing....

And Vics, thinking about changing your car again, really, you 're terrible.....

Almost as bad as you...

I'd like to keep it, but can't really justify doing so if I upgrade

How about you just give it to me for safe keeping Vicks? I'll look after it and you get visiting rights?

She'll get cold up there in the frozen north Will you knit her gloves and a scarf?

You think that is in the frozen north ?

Positively tropial there !

Well yes, you live in Scandinavia

She can sleep under the duvet.............I wouldn't want the neighbours seeing a yellow coupé in my garage!

U thought about a 20vt again VickS?

Ross

Nope... more horsepower than the n/a, normally aspirated, convertible

Good Vicks, don't want you going over to the *Dark Side*

SLK320?

Just don't tell bockers

Like JimO

At least you're a girl

Like JimO then

Oh you guys are just so funny,

Like hinge and bracket

Actually, i thought I recognised you two

Hinge and Bracket or Stan and Bezz as we know them better

I'm the short Blonde. Stan's the butch Brunette

I think we both look stunning in that picture


Probably the reason Jim keeps it by his bedside.......allegedly!

he has a hairier chest and meallion, so maybe he needs the SLK32

I am going to change my career to hairdressing if I do buy one

Stan faints!










and the only thing that will revive him is a bright yellow coupé as a new project, honest

Who said SLK

I did
