Title: Thinking of getting this BUT!!!
Post by: DANNYGCL on 06 May 2009, 18:57
Right its been up on Ebay for months and months, i really do love it and if i did get it i would drive it for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time, then again id preffer to keep as an investment  :smiley:

Even if it has the FVWSH and 74K on the clock i dont think its worth £4995 if anything more like £2500 or £3000 for an L -reg car

What do you lot think??


I LOVE IT  :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

To be honest, yes it is low miles but wheels look horrid and I don't think it is worth that much.

my thoughts exactly...although my fave colour for all VR's

The silver one on pistonheads looks nice and subtle, plus those old school Azev A's are top :cool:

Yup, allways option to change wheels but like you say. The price he wants is just tooooooo much

It's been up for ages because it's expensive, which means one of two things. The guy isn't being realistic and won't listen to offers, or he hasn't had any offers.

If it's straight, in as good shape as it looks and you want to keep it then offer him £3,5 to £4k, unfortunately you won't get it for anything less than that but, for that money it needs to be tip top. You'll get some money back for the wheels, just need a decent set to put on it.

Thats the best response ever  :tongue: hehe

So say £4200 TOPS

or £3750 :smug:

If it was my money I would probably go £4,200 tops. But it would need to be mechanically sound, and have a major service done.

The ebay rado looks lovely apart from the wheels (they are too big for it and don't really suit imo) and shame it's an auto!

Colour looks edible on it, yum!

Its a dealer - he'll take an offer, so with that mileage, and if its absolutely spotless, thats probably about the right starting price. I wouldn't pay more than £4k.  IMO, without leather, and if its not as spotless as the ad makes out, its not worth much more than £3k.
