ill give u 1 red abarth 1242 for it!

but seriously.... id say about 2k.

 

[custard]

on the spec and condition i would agree.
but the one thing i would say is the cinq turbo is a bit more off a niche car so may not always be the easiest to sell

tru tru, but to be honest if i still had the money (i did 6 months ago) i would snap it off him as soon as possible!

just hope it goes to an enthuaist who will look after it. and not some chav to will wrap it round a tree

 

[Firewarrior]

if i do decide to get rid i will want it to go to a good home as many hours of work have been put in, mostly from the previous owner but also by myself and jon del motorsports.
still undecided what to do, have to check insurance on possible next car

It’s a hard thing to say.

One most who would like a turbo, maybe get scared off at insurance costs, or higher running costs.

As most folk know I got mine with full service history 50K on the clock all receipts for £3K of work from VAD including TuV certificates, the latter spec 98 R reg model with Sei stalks, air-bag, pretension seatbelts, great handbrake, bodywork in amazing condition for only £1000 with 12months MOT and 2 months tax.

I believe the guy tried selling it on here as it was him that told me about this site, and then put it on eBay and not one person apart from me bid on it.

I say pitch it hi as its true worth, and then in your own mind have a figure you would let it go for if it let you out money towards another car that came up and you needed the money quickly.

As I’ve said to other folk, the longer a car sits the more its costs you, in insurance, tax, mot running out so less value, so sometimes accepting a slightly lower figure for a quick sale actually works out better in the long run as you would actually arrive at that figure if you sat on it hoping for more while its costing you all the time. It’s the first rule of any sales business, if it’s not selling its costing you money.

Or another way, is nothing is worth more than someone is willing to pay.

Mate I would be so tempted if only this had been a few months ago..

I'd say it's worth every penny of 2k and should sell for that tbh!

 

[Firewarrior]

cheers guys, like i said, still not sure if im selling, but would be looking at maybe a punto gt or uno turbo.

Punto more reliable but uno more fun

And undoubtably much more cool

 

[Firewarrior]

I'm gonna give it a quick wash after i've fixed the Cinq then whack some piccies up for you :yum:

 

[Duncan]

Crap, if I had 2k, you would have sold that car no problem. Who said money cant buy you happiness.

 

[Andy_sx]

dont really know what its worth, but i would be very interested in the car should you come to sell it. the general consensus of price seems good to me, and id be willing to pay that for it. if you do decide to let her go give me a shout and ill see what i have to offer

 

[Firewarrior]

cheers for all the advice and replies people, ill bear it all in mind if i come to sell
cheers
