Ok need to know what my coupe is worth,
Wine red 20vt, 1997 R reg with 113k on the clock. Has tan leather but no air-con, engine is standard and mechanically sound – always 3 bar when driving, and only ever drops to 2 at very hot idle (if sat in traffic for ages etc). No mods to the engine, and I’ve got FSH inc 13 stamps in the book, owned for the past 4 or so years and its had a full service one year then a standard service the nice and vise-versa, regardless of mileage. Fair stack of history inc all the old MOT’s.
Is due a 2nd cambelt change however, but oil cooler pipes have been done, recent clutch, turbo is good, new radiator, battery, manifold is welded. 2 good eagle F1 tyres and 2 almost new top of the range Avons. Car has Zender skirts + spoiler + LE lips, and is lowered on eibach springs. Sony MP3 headunit, with small amp in the boot powering infinity speakers – just makes it a bit nicer than the standard stereo. Remote alarm isn’t working though.
Just had full service and MOT (passed fine). Tax – June.
Bodywork is the issue, the car had a very low speed rear end shunt last year, and has a bad dent as shown in the photos below, don’t really know how much it would cost to fix. However the rest of the car is in reasonable condition, a few marks/scratches as to be expected, but had a total front end re-spray last year, inc wheel refurb and refit of the skirts. Interior is in fair condition, scratches to the lower console area and the main control console too. I know its not the best coupe out there by a mile, hence the price.
I’m thinking £1400? Given it needs the belt doing and the rear repairing. Please give me a totally honest estimate.
