Advice Please, Honda S1 Exige Content

[slatess1]

Good afternoon chaps,

Due to an unforseen change in my personal circumstances the car has to go. unfortunately the car never made it as far as a track (apart from 1 walshy day), which is what it would be ideal for given the investment I put into the car. For those that have seen the car at various events, if the vinyl stickers are not to everyone's taste they can be easily removed etc

I will put a proper advert up soon on ph and seloc with detailed pictures but i wanted to gauge opinion/interest first on what sort of price i could ask for? I was thinking of circa 26k owing to the spec? Pls let me know your thoughts. The engine is still under warranty from sinclaire's until July of this year and i have all receipts proving approx 25k spent on modifications exlcuding the cost of intially buying the car

Now in classifieds on PH, seloc and exiges

[Gad-Westy]

Would you consider a straight swap for all the money in my change tin? I haven't counted it but its pretty heavy.

[Mr_C]

Are you allowed to auction non vital body parts on Ebay? If not, will you take them in part ex?

[S Works]

Realistically, it's a bad time to sell so you'll have to be ready to take a knock. ~£23-25k would seem about right vs. recent ones that have been for sale. Nice spec though, good luck with it, all you need is one person.

Sorry you're having to let it go so soon

[slatess1]

I guess it'll be worth what anyone is prepared to pay for it then lol considering the spec and how much it would cost to convert a factory spec car to this sort of spec but you never get back what you've put into it do you etc and considering the current market conditions we'll just see what happens

Ive had a number of offers so far around the mid 20's mark which if im honest I was hoping for a little more. I have two seperate chaps coming over at the weekend to view which looks very promising so i dont think it will be around for long, will keep you all posted

Edited to say: im gutted its going too!!

Beautiful car - add me to the "if I had 20-25k..." cliche. Good luck with the sale
