Happy New Year everybody
Not selling immediately, but I've now had the car for 9 years (10 in September), and it's been brilliant, but I'm thinking of something different, just in the interim until a hopeful return in a Turbo (and newer).
Which brings me on to the thorny subject of how to move such an item on, and pitching it correctly.
Surprisingly, there aren't many cars for sale on Autotrader. Mine's an MY00 Carrera 4 Coupe Manual (non-sunroof). 125k on clock, lots of documentation inc details of work undertaken during my ownership (inc servicing).
Mine IS a little different - widely documented at my time of purchase: especially when the engine needed "fixing" 6 months into ownership.
Cue a Hartech rebuild
Prices seem to range from £15k-£22k - for a laugh, I put in the details to WBAC.com, and they offered me £5.5k :floor:
Details of car -
MY00 C4 Manual (125k on clock) - just MOT'd in October (I did 2k mile last year )
Standard spec with a few differences:
Hartech rebuilt engine - no nasty noises or knocks.
Upgraded ICE
Refurbished wheels in Anthracite (new P-Zeros)
Dansk-style s/steel exhaust with new lambda sensors
Replaced rads & A/C condensors
Replaced brake lines
P/steering pipes in engine bay replaced and on steering rack.
Replaced water pump
Replaced clutch
Pads & discs all pretty new
"Bad" stuff -
The car is a daily driver, so it's in good condition for it's age. Despite being regularly detailed and "loved", it's not a garage queen.
Passenger door handle is a little sticky (through lack of use)
Seats have some scuffs on the backs and show general signs of age, but now tears or rips.
Dare I ask what sort of price I'd be looking at? I know they've gone up in price, which makes it so difficult to pitch.....
Advice would be brilliant.
