£3500-£4000 id say. nearer 4000 tho im allowing for market being down atm:)

well - i will end my thoughts on that then..

but 3.5-4k for a Red Plus +++ with EVERY expensive job done and warranties on the turbo????lol

I can hear pitonheads calling already

You might get more (perhaps £5k), but you'll be waiting for the right enthusiast with readies. Good luck

My worry would be that the right enthusiast would be looking for a completely standard plus. Expect to be offered anything between 2 and 3K. And in todays climate that'll probably be from the right enthusiast. You really need two right enthusiasts to get it higher.

i would find that insulting.

I know, so would I. But thats the reality and why I'd never ask,'How much?' when it came to my coupe. Because I know even if the paint work hadn't been screwed up on mine I'd have been lucky to get £1500 for it, and its a very tidy lowish mileage example.

Did you sort out the wheels and skirts etc on your plus?

Yup - new lips at the front - paint man taking out all unecessary parking dints and a touch of paint over any scuffs...(Of which there are few - but my wife has driven it once or twice)

Took care of that with the old - Tie her laces together,push down stairs,pour a can of stella over her and phone the police/insurance company...


As listed in OP - "I will have the car fully prepd before sale "

BTW - I still have the "Catalogue shots" from the Kenilworth meet - if ya need them to forward to your "Agency"

i will pop a few pics up to tantalise y'all later...if i can be bothered...

Where are you located cjh?

kenilworth - near Warwick and Leamington/Covenrtry

I seem to recall you had an engine issue a few months back - did you get this sorted?

Yup - all sorted.

I dont think you will get much than 4k for a plus in the current market, unless the right person comes along.

Only way to find out is to put it up for what you want and then price down if it doesn't sell.

There is a sprint blue for sale at the moment, base your price on that one I suppose.

hmm..

126k and a year older.. at £4k...ono

But its not exactly selling like hot cakes is it and that car looks extensive on the service part! I know you have to try and recoop as much as you can back CJ but your gonna have to be realistic

How much more extensive is FSH??? My book is overflowing

Anyways - i dont NEED to sell...but im seriously considering it...

If realism is as low as some figures quoted - then realistically - i will keep it.

My reciepts over 18 months of ownership are in the thousands...I guess if people want to take a chance on a turbo then good luck.

Theres alot of sh1tters out there..
Id buy form a FCCUKer for 3/4 years..

EVERY big job done - and done either by Motomech or Joe...then fair enough... its got Pistonheads written all over it...

If it dont go then fair enough....heres a little pic from last week.
Its not looking at its best yet - got it booked in for a Full mop and touch up too..

That is one gorgeous looking car to be fair

CJH, decide how much you would accept for it and stick it in the classifieds on here and Pistonheads

She's looking mighty now Cj, good to read that you've had all the little niggles sorted.

As Vic says, list the price you'd like and stick to your guns mate

i think £4000 is perfectly reasonable for a clean plus model.

personally im at a minimum of £4.5k - the car has EVERYTHING possible done to it...

stick to it, it should get that eventually.

The problem is that many potential buyers get put off by mileage, so just hold out for a buyer that is realistic.

or get it clocked - like ALL lower milers are - at least i know it original - full fiat SH then all Motomech with 1 owner before me..

Sounds good. Its unfair to say that all lower milers are clocked though. i have a genuine 50k LE, and know of a 23k black LE too.

OK Rog - im generalising - but you are the Exception - not the norm mate..

cash waiting for a very low mile "le or plus" Rog, and preferably a "london" car

Hijacked it is then...

Why a london car? apart from usually being clean under neath (little rust), they are spent sitting it traffic for a very long time, so a 50k london car will have had the engine running for the equivalent of a lot more miles, sitting idling away, and at high temps.

This LE isnt going anywhere for less than £5k.

Sorry CJ. You may have your thread back now

Personally i think 4.5 is a good deal i do feel a Gtec chip and car advertised as 250+bhp would help. that extra shock factor the power gives does help sell in my experience.
Other than that i cant see why it cant fetch the asking price!
PLUS no pun intended its the most desirable colour,
