Post by: matsk1 on 30 July 2006, 20:28: Depends the condition. I wouldn't sell mine for less that Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1200 but everything is sound apart from a bit of bubble rust here and there...oh and the seats need a good clean.

If its mechanically sound then aim for over Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1000. And take into account how much you spent on it. You will never get your return but things like perfect hoods and good paintwork...and nice alloys (preferebly the 15" cross-spoke BBS ones) always add value.

Post by: rubjonny on 30 July 2006, 23:02: my advise to you is if you need to replace the hood, get a pro in. We did it ourselves on ours and its a lot of work, and at the end of the day it still isn't perfect. The main issue is getting it to sit flush along the join to the window frame, we've taken it off twice and refitted but it still isn't on properly :(
