ealry tech 2's had a tech 1 s/wheel

as a breaker with a quick turn around you's be pushed to make £500

wheels, £200
interior ( if its leather and not vynal ) £400
kit £400
diff if its there £200

the rest will go in drips and drabs and you'll get £500 on the rest of the parts eventually.

as saod previosly its worth looking into it

to dismantle it for parts, thats what i mean.

considering its at £1000, and that what you pay for it, to break it down as quickly as possible and not have it hanging around and not taking up space, you'll make £500 but you'll make more if you hold out for top money and sell every nut and bolt.

If it reaches asking price on every item............yes. But people haggle.

if it's a genuine sport, worth snatching one's arm off I believe. Not for me though, I am skint. Arse!

traders are far from stupid, they know exactly what cars are worth. bare in mind that they make a living from buying cars cheap, and selling them on for a lot more. most traders will have friends in the trade that will put this car through an MOT without even looking at it, why hasn't that been done? too many questions lurking, but you never know, the guy could be an amateur.

I think the old saying, ''if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'' comes into play here......... :wink:

They are but Kos has priced stuff at the lower end of the market, which considering the car is £995 and its sitting on 'Bling council wheels, is the right thing to do.

You just know the diff is going to be a safety one and the front valance will be in two bits :eek: Thats before you have considered some ripped leather or vinal!

If I had brought it, i'd have sold the scrap(wheels, interior) and put some 15" bbs on it and a sports cloth seats and advertised it for £2200-2400. But even that is a bit of a joke, the risk is too big for a grand when its likely to be a shed!

When i spoke to him he sounded unsure if it was for sale or not , Heard someone say about something being wrong and tell them its sold :?
I said if the cars not sold can i view and make a sensible offer , He was relaying messages to someone else and sounded to dodgy to be honest , I said Is it for sale or not and he said urm err urm no its sold and put the phone down 8O
Aint bothered tbh , To cheap to be true and certainly wouldnt go there with a big roll of notes in my pocket either :!:
