Looking at two cars tomorrow:

Brava 1.6 Petrol ELX - 51 plate - 2001
£1990 (but he said he'll negotiate). Full mot, and new cam belt.

Bravo 1.9 JTD HLX - Y plate - 2001
£2500 (slight negotiations). Full mot, new cam belt and FSH.

Are these fair prices?
Matt

i got my mate a 1.6 HLX for £1185 with full MOT, 60k on the clock

They're both quite high, see if you can talk him down

i agree, no bravo on earth is worth more than £2000, and to be worth more than £1500 it better be damn good (near perfect). The JTD is probably worth £2000 if its perfect with low milage as they're popular models and hold value well, but no more than £2000. you could have loads of cars for £2000 that are better than any bravo. thought about a 3 door 1.8zetec focus? (if you drive one you'll want one i'm sure). if you like the idea of a TD you can look at a mk2 306 1.9TD, much better chassis than a bravo and well known as the best TD of the 90's (again a quick drive will show you how much better).

Ah but then you would be stuck driving the same dull car as millions of other mindless zombies. Much better to be different and be seen to have a bit of flair

yeah i think its the italian styling flair and less common factor that sold the bravo to me, and the rock bottom prices.

Ehhhh nice prices there got mine for £600 with full service history and desent mileage, MOT about to run out thou cant see nowt wrong with it. So not a bad price for all this like ! 1.6 BTW, Got it off ebay

cant go wrong for a few hundred

Im sort of temtped with a Brava JTD W reg at the moment. mmmmm.

Nowt wrong with the Bravo chassis - its straight from the Tipo which was the best hot-hatch chassis for cornering and putting down the power.

As for prices - all depends on condition/mileage. I wouldn't feel ripped off getting a 5 year old diesel with under 20k on the clock for under £4k - Like new for under half price..

I've driven a 1.8 zetec focus (with 5k on the clock) and it was nice, but Bunny's bravo much more fun.
