How much then?
Discussion
No it's not rotten it's a genuine car but if I decide to MOT it I need to insure & tax it etc & with the market the way it is I'd rather it sell quickly to a good home.
Anyone who knows about these will be able to see very quickly that it's sound & no MOT means I won't have to ponce about with wanna be's and test pilots!
Here's anothe couple of pictures

Suppose I'll have to spend a bit then. I know what will happen though. As soon as it's on the road I'll want to start using it, then I won't want to sell it, then the wife won't get her kitchen so she'll divorce me. I'll lose the house, never see the kids again.......................

You can only sell it once so you need to get as much for is as poss. I'd assume. It looks a very nice car and if there's nothing wrong with it then spending 40 odd quid on an MOT just seems like a no brainer to me..............40 quid = 2k I am thinking here.
Ebay is full of cars where the owner has what looks a a nice car but says he can't MOT it due to time, or " it won't start but it only needs a battery"..........why not buy the battery or MOT it then? so you can ask full up.
People including me avoid those adverts like the plague, not because I'm incapable of fixing a fault or two...........simply because I smell a rat and can't fathom why the owner has not spent a few pence to get the car right.
As I say, IMHO the car looks great and wouldn't look daft at 6.5k on PH, however without an MOT your figure of 4k is nearer the mark................get the bloody ticket on it and the summer hols are paid for

Yes so do I! TBH I hadn't thought it might be worth that much. I'll sort out some ins and get it MOT'd. It's on SORN now. If can it stay on that for the journy to the MOT and afterwards or will I have to tax it too?
No you can drive car to a pre booked MOT without tax.I almost bought a very simailar car to yours before I got mine a year younger and same colour, the interior in yours looks far better though. It was advertised at £6.5 and owner was going to let go to me at £6k

And its more likley to go to a good home at 6k than 4 as the very cheap ones are being snapped up by people who just want to rag them silly and not care for it.
Price it reasonably and it will soon sell easy enough, maybe just by this thread, I found mine when Kenny above let me know he was selling when I was looking, saved him paying all the adverts and timewasters, and saved me the hassle of seeing even more cars not as described.
