    I think she'd let you, she wants to sell it, not give it away.

    The cars bottom booked at around £8-8.5K but i dont think there are too many dealers would be stocking it at that.

    That puts its retail price at maybe £11K, and that would make a private sale price around £10-10.5K.

    How much do you think its worth and why?

    availability,locability,the need to want it
    these are all issues that the average punter suffers from
    i said shes got it, you want it, negotiate hard
    my thinking was 8 get laughed at then let her show her hand
    this is not my market and i have no idea of specs but i do know you should always try for less than any silly book says because it always leaves an exit window if something goes t its

    Isnt it interesting that when Mikey72 is asked a direct question RE: the value of the car he declines to answer.

    I guess he finds it easier to give smart !!! answers, than to come up with anything constructive? ;)
