I was just wondering what this would be valued at? I'm really keen on doing a swap plus cash for my car, but just wondered at what price. Any help would be great
-
Without pictures its very hard to say and although its had everything you've listed done it doesnt necessarily make it worth a fortune, it all comes down to how much someones willing to pay but I would guess that it would be worth more than £2K !
-
At the end of the day no matter what you spend on a car you never see it back when you sell it, however I would say that over £2k would be a fair price.
-
40k worth of receipts?!? just me thats slightly skeptical about that? :undecided:
-
The most important thing for me would be a mint body :smiley:
-
Sounds impressive.. Mine has 17k's worth for the last 4.5 yrs including purchase price which was 3k back then and I'd be lucky to fetch that now..
Thanks Tesh
-
If its got good body work I would say that lot would be worth around £2500
-
I picked up something very similar this week with Full Leather and stupid money spent on it. £900. ;)

Receipts mean nothing if it's rotten.
Buy on body all the way.

Exactly.

Agreed. :) Tho when you find a bargain with no rot or rust it makes you a hell of a happy person :)
-
Damn, if the £40k spending only values the car at £2k, that's only a 20th.
I've spent about £2k on my car, so its only worth £100 then :cry: I guess I best start taking offers then, £110 anyone?
:laugh:
As already said, check out the shell/chassis/engine. £40k of receipts could attribute to a fairly large crash repair bill - it is technically worthless (unless the parts are still guaranteed).
-
So your taking a mk2 in px for your mk4? If so then i'd undervalue the mk2 :wink:
Ive noticed people being more nit picky when they viewed the mk2's. They were more interested in service history. When it comes to cars like these service is just a bonus in my books. Get the paint right then its worth alot more.
