why is the inside of your exhaust red?

[wayneE30]

why is the inside of your exhaust red?

thats what it looks like from new its black now

[dazleeds]

it runs on freshly squeezed virgin juice

[wayneE30]

c'mon lads what can i get for it seriously

[tourer-dan]

Forget all the lovely shiny bolt on bits then take a look at the bread and butter of your car. Has it got any dents or rust? Is the paintwork in bad shape? What does it run like?
It depends on who's buying your car as to what price you get for it.
In my honest opinion I reckon your car's worth around a couple of hundred quid.
Now before you go shooting me down in flames - that is what I would pay for it if I was looking for a car like it (according to what I see in your pictures)

[wayneE30]

finally a comment on topic.



a couple of hundred i disagree with full mot and 6 months tax.

there is no rust except for what was welded and it runs fine np at all

[tourer-dan]

Well you obviously have an idea of what it's worth then, so why are you asking on here?
It's always hard to help someone price their own car. Unfortunately they always think it's worth more than it actually is. I'm not suggesting my idea is any more accurate (from 3 pictures) but at the other end of the scale, It's unlikely to be worth Ԛ£800, don't you think.

It might be easier if you tell us what you would ideally like to get, and whether anyone thinks that's a realistic figure. (but then it's much easier to rubbish someone elses ideas than have your own ridiculed isn't it.)

I hope you don't think I'm being shitty - that certainly isn't my intention.

Sorry Wayne 350 absolute max ,and thats cos of the MOT , Its just not got a lot going for it,Give it a good clean for starters and sort those bloody headlights out , the first thing a prospective buyer is gonna think is that its been in a shunt and you couldn't be arsed to get matching ones,so whats the state of the rest of the car!!
Don't sell, keep her and drive it into the ground,then sell the bits

alright mate?

well the pics are crap mate so they dont realy do it any favors. the paint is a little faded but with some good advise from c76jon about getting some p21 stuff and microfiber cloths to help bring it back and protect it.
tbh mate i dont want to keep it im thinking about other cars at the moment as for the head light mate it was all i had at the time the way i see it is the car owes me more than Ԛ£350 i would like to get it back.

[Gwynleym10]

I have actually seen this car, not that carfully mind!

But I think its def worth at least Ԛ£350 more like Ԛ£450 if its advertised well and presentable.

Those two things, Advertising and Presentabilty are almost as important as thte actual condition of the car.

Give the car a real good clean, hoover the inside get some dash polish/air freshner stuff from halfords (only Ԛ£3.50)

Do the best you can with the outside, spend as much time as you can on it.

Ask someone on the zone to see if you can get a matching pair of lights......

Then take lots of good photos, including and bad bits.

As you live near a building site cover the car with some clean sheeting/plastic so you don't have to keep washing it if people want to come an see it.

Put it on ebay, pay a bit more for gallery etc it will be worth it and type in the title that it has 12month MOT and 6 tax. Find out as much history of the car as possible, be honest. An honest add will always go further than one trying to polish a turd.

Start at a 1p start and have a Ԛ£300 reserve also have a buy it now for Ԛ£500 (you never know!)


Got that sunroof off yet?



If you don't have good feedback i'll advertise it on your behalf.

[ivqii]

Just a thought

I dont recommend using Buy it Now for a car on ebay

Too many tw-ts around who click that button for fun and you never hear from then again.

The result-you have to relist with not only the delay but a further cost involved

You can set it so that they have to have feedback/have other requirements even force them to pay an immidiate pay-pal deposite.

[dazleeds]

wayne
i have a matching headlite do ya swap for the front seatbelts if you still got em??2door


and would def agree with what gwynleym 10 says
get it polished up in and out takes some time but will pay off when people start looking then advertise everywhere you can
freeads etc , ebay
remember mate prep is everything and it looks a good car just wants a little effort to get it spanking again

def have a word with c75jon he will advise to perfection as always

and good luck with sale mate

[wayneE30]

guys thanks for the positve advise daz i am so sorry i totally forgot about your seatbelt which one was it you wanted mate?? if you want to give me the headlight in reutrn that sounds good to me mate. gwyn mate im goingout now to do it will let you know when im done

Wayne, p21 is filler
G3 is a compound, although it's too harsh to use on good paintwork by hand if you're not going to machine it off with a finer grade.
A good one to use by hand is 3M finesse-it (although it is strictly speaking a machine polish). It costs Ԛ£14 a bottle from the factors and you'll need to rub quite hard a small area at a time, but it will bring back a good lustre. You need to 'wax' polish it after. Anything will do, even good old turtle wax. If you're on a budget, you can just use T-cut metallic, it does a similar job at the end of the day, it's just not as good. Use vax machine fluid diluted to clean your interior, seats and hard plastics, then dress with a low gloss dressing such as Armour-all low gloss. Whack some bling on your tyres and then your done. A whole day's work which will make you want to keep the car!!
Now you've just got to wait for some good weather!
