Don't you find it weird when people omit engine bay photos?

Seems a bit overpriced to me.

2001 is only 3 years newer than mine - but I bought recently at £13.6k spent £2.37k at the garage, so a total of £15.9k. The question is, are 3 years / 25k miles worth £7k?

Personally, I think nearer £21k is realistic, unless it is in perfect condition, and a spotless history, no engine problems, and a shed load of upgrades on suspension, ICE etc.

Just my tuppence worth.

The later cars are much rarer than 98.
The 98-99 cars have a chassis rot reputation whereas later cars are generally better. In my experience the later cars are better put together and a nicer drive. So they are worth a premium IMHO. Particularly when in such fine order etc
The later tvrs are generally on the rise £s wise as they don't make em no more.

Understand all that, not that 98 cars can't be well sorted, and now I've had a good look around mine, the chassis is actually in pretty good nick for 14 years, a few bits of mild surface rust on parts of the chassis and suspension, which I'll be sorting myself over the winter

Wouldn't it be wise to put in a slightly lower offer anyway? They rarely sell at asking price, surely?

Hmmm, I do wish it was Friday already.....

Nicky,

Hey thanks for your comments, i looked briefly at the car yesterday, looks a lovely example and a great spec but i think at 23,000 its a bit on the high side! Im ready to part with my hard earned cash for a good example! hopefully wont be long before im hooning around with you, Si, Graham and Ollie!
