I sold my 16v for £1350 recently. But I had spent around £1100 on it in the previous 8 weeks (!). This car is for sale again (at that price), as the guy who bought it has experienced a change in circumstances. I say your 16v, high miles though it is, with the provenance - and working air con, must be worth about that. However I sold it just prior to the impact of the credit crunch - and before everyone realised that - assuming they haven't down-scaled their plans already - their holidays were going to be a lot more expensive this year...

I'd say seriously consider any reasonable offer. It's a hopeless time to sell a car. :cry:

£1000 would be ideal - my mother in law just paid out for a new Peugeot 207 today............ so it would be great to get a little bit towards that. Anyone?

Have you tried advertising the car on the web? There are quite a few places where its free. You could try this one:

I had my BX serviced a couple of times by Witmun Engineering in Merstham - John is a great guy, great service; he really knows his BXs and indeed they do race a BX - I was privileged to see Gary Cole's racing BX in the workshop having its engine reconditioned! I would say any BX that's been serviced regularly by him is going to be a good'un.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks for that Mark. I spoke to Witmun today, and they do indeed remember both my Father in Law, and the car.

The car is moving to Surrey this afternoon - will be located 1 mile from Junction 3 of the M3 (close to M25 and M4) if anyone is interested and wants to come and have a look. Will also take some more decent photos (once the rain stops!!!)

I love that colour, same as my Gti, shame about the dents in the psgr side door though, might pop out? Anyway, best of luck with the sale, have you managed to get it advertised anywhere yet?

It's not the passenger side rear door that's being commented on - it's
the drivers' side rear that has two indents below the rubbing picture in
more than one angle taken of that side. Nitpicking but they must be
dents all the same? Anyone have a spare door in this colour to finish
the car off nicely?
