7 months ago when the white 8v below was up for sale i was getting offers of around... £1k - £1.2k

so i rekon at least £1k

 

[robreidmotors]

Thanks for the reply. Where did you advertise? dont want to upset the mods here!

 

[orangemuffin]

ebay mate....for £13 a week its by far the best form of advert you get can get.

13yr old mid facelift? If you can sell it at all it's not going to be for more than £700

But for a grand people will get facelifted, newer cars

mine did have a list of the normal normal mods like induction kit and exhaust system ect yoooof normally do things like that anyway so they may have thought a ready done one would save them money....who knows....cars always sell better in he summer anyway. January is a bad time to sell.

Yep, got to bear in mind the fact that
a) it's january, a bad time for selling cars
b) yours has the older wheels and interior

Does look fairly tidy though. £800?

 

[robreidmotors]

Ive got the newer 5 spoke standard wheels on now, the lower profile ones.

I think 800 sounds about right, maybe advertise for 850?

Thats if i sell, might be looking at a 16v today.

keep the 8v.....there class !

 

[robreidmotors]

Ill see what I think of the 16v, looking at it next weekend by the looks of things.

The 8vs are excellent though.

A good 8v is a worth adversary to a 16v, certainly day to day it's a lot more useable.

That said my next Mk2 will be a valver (again)

 

[robreidmotors]

You know when you have two people a distance from each other, and the one who calls the dog to them keeps the dog? Well I feel like the dog with both 8v and 16v calling me!

Ill see what I think of the 16v, mind you im not interested in the 16v for usable reasons, its for the pure insanity of the machine!

16v's are nicer because they have AC, ABS & no **** 020 gearbox.

They're not significantly faster (if at all)

 

[robreidmotors]

16vs have got two seconds on the 8v 0-60.

8v = 9.4
16v = 7.6

I mean once rolling, I remember playing on track / on road with 8v's in my 16v cordie, there's nothing in them on a B road.
