Price for my coupe?

Just spoken to a garage and he said he will do some research but is looking to buy my Coupe for 1 - 1.5k, it is:

20vT
Sprint blule
Good condition
No Dings on body work
Few chips and scratches
70k on clock
99 T reg
Cambelt done a year ago at about 60k
FSH
All keys
Full leather
Boost gauge
Dump valve Baileys DV 26
Original Clarion CD player
Runs really well
Needs rear wheel bearing replaced

What is the min i should let it go for?

i thing it will go between £3000-3500 goodluck mate...

you'll never get that

Most of the things that make it worth it are only known to people like us, trading it in will just get you a book number. Ages ago my 98 20VT was offered £800 p/x (although not as nice sounding as yours)

I'd be inclined to want £2k min, car buyers can afford to be quite bullish at the moment, so just make sure you get what you want for it.

Have you advertised it for sale on here?

no, looking for a very quick sale though so depends, might just take 1.5 for it, i will not go below that, i will stand my ground.

If i dont get what i want for it i might put it on here.

Just checked parkers and it says:

Independent Dealer £2,310
Private Good £2,000
Private Poor £1,345
Part Exchange £1,805

So i would be inclined to want over 1.5 after that, but we'll see, will keep you posted :-)

But they're selling prices, trade in will be well down on those

I guess it depends if you're prepared for the hassle of a private sale to make a potential £500 by the sounds

Good luck with it anyway, what you looking at changing to?

Well i have a 20 year old diesel passat lying around so want to use that for a run around for now, should be joining the army in a few months, and then with the money from this plus after 6 months basic training i want to get either the 2.6 twin turbo skyline (r34) or a 3.0 twin turbo supra, depends what i find, wont be for a while, like end of the year though

mmmm skyline

You need to keep your head down a bit, you are making no friends.

Haha, I had no idea that Hemel was now north london

I saw you yesterday on leighton buzzard road about 4pm. Thought you were changing up too early personally, but you stil had a nice little "psst" when you changed

Good Luck with the sale

(I would mention when the cam belt was last done , oil cooler/pipes last looked at and any wishbones that have been done lately)

really? excellent! I work in dunstable so am on that road every day, you know, sometimes it just feels right to give her a break and change up early :-P

and i find people dont know where hemel is so i just say north london

Where you from?

Hemel I saw you just by the civic centre in town, I live about 2 mins walk from there! Barnacle lives about 10 mins drive away too!

Really, i did not know this, i never see your cars around, i have seen another sprint blue coupe, but thats it i think

Well mines an Alfa GT now, so you wouldn't! I never see Barnacle much either! There is at least 2 more sprintys in town, R***CAX was about 5 cars behind you yesterday which was why I remembered!

lol, you have a good eye, what colour Alfa? What year? I'll keep and eye out

Black 05 Plate GT JTDm.... that'll be me in the slow lane!

Difficult to judge what is going on with prices at the moment dude. I am looking at selling my sprinty at some point this year which is the almost the same as yours, except for having a gtec1, 87k on the clock and a little more work needing doing to bring it back to be a good'un.
I have been expecting to sell it for next to nothing or if I am lucky get some reasonable trade-in price towards my next car (fn2 civic type r GT) but as the market is so screwed up, I am expecting the worse? I dread selling cars privately!
I would say your one was worth 2k but that would a valuation based on the market being, well not exactly strong like it was 18 months ago, but certainly a lot better than it is now.
As it stands, I fear you will get far less friend, I hope not because then I'm in trouble as well but that is my gut feeling. The market has never been this bad, ever.

haha, just dont judge my driving, i get bored easily on the way to work

cheers weyland, i can only hope, have put it on piston heads and ebay, will see what happens and worst case take it to the garage down the road that buys cars for cash :-S

Any luck yet?

finishes tomorrow at 19.00, has a bid ay 1500 and over 70 watchers, i think it'll sell at an ok price. had alot of questions and offers, so we'll see, it makes my heart sink just knowing soon she'll be gone! :-(
