Tbh Mate, it all depends how desperate your are to get rid of the car.

Like you say you had it up for £1,000 and you've been offered £900. Thats not bad tbh.

But on the other looking at the car & mods and you giving away the spares with it, I would say it's worth £1,150 the least.

But hey, its your call... Do what you think is best.

Good Luck :rolleyes:

I've reduced the car from £1150 to £1000 i have the SPAX Kit with a reciept for £350 which i said if i sell for £900 the suspension isn't included.

This is the 3rd offer, i've said no to the other two. I'm pretty desperate to sell tbh, not many folk will buy a Cat C write off either. The last VR went for £500 that was sold over here.

Hmm, If its a Cat C Write off, I would not think twice tbh. But before you agree at £900. Try making a counter offer of £950 -£975...

And if that fails, I would say shake on it at £900.

Yah i've said £900 without the spare suspension or £950 with

Just to agree with everyone else, I'd bite his hand off for £900 but would be tempted to keep the suspension.

He is coming to collect tomorrow for £950 with the suspension :cry:

I don't think you can moan too much at that fella, yeah you may have got a couple of hundred more if you's sold some of the bits off separately but taking you circumstances into account it'd wouldn't be worth the gamble of holding out and potentially being disappointed at the end of the month.

Haha well, it wont be for a while now! At least a year maybe even two depending on how things go. Its either going to be a mk1 caddy with a 1.8T already done as it will cheaper or a Clio Williams, the williams being my number one choice if i can find a giod example!!
