These cars are unloved by the mass public, so as Stuart says, this is a powerful bargaining tool.
I personally wouldnt pay anything more than the scrap price as i'm no mechanic & wouldnt want to take the extra risk of buying something at a higher price, only to find the mot fail sheet as long as my arm.
A car is only worth what someone want to pay for it, so if there are keen bods out there wanting to pay more, i'm not going to criticise them personally, afterall its upto them.
So, anyone going to buy this then?
I agree entirely mate. Ian stated it's £500 with ticket, or make an offer as is, so whilst it's fair to say that as it stands it's worth nothing more than scrap value by definition.
But, if an offer of say £250 was agreed then thats £250 less than the asking price with ticket so gives scope for a few bits for an MoT.
Ok, it could be a nail, but I dont think this is, I really dont. I'd want to have a look at it in the metal first, but I really think this could be a very nice car.
It looks very straight, clean and tidy, for me thats good since personally the mechanical bits dont bother me in the slightest, but I talk of course, personally.
I've come to find that the presence of a valid Mot doesn't actually mean very much anyway. I've bought £30 BX's with no ticket that cost nothing to MoT, and I've bought rather more expensive BX's with ticket that were bloody death traps.
Could I seriousley justify having ANOTHER car? Well, no, not really, but this does look tempting, although something would have to go first.
So, anyone want to buy a fully sorted valver for £45K???
Anyone?
