How do i put a price on this?? help please

[merculation]

I have a 2006 Mini Cooper S replica, the car is actually an r56 cooper, i bought the car as a damaged vehicle, it had very little damage, a headlight and bonnet, no airbag damage suspension damage etc

I replaced the bonnet with a Mini Cooper S bonnet and fitted a John Cooper Works kit,

My Problem is as damaged repaired vehicle, how do i put a price on it?? i understand it will be less than normal, maybe 15-20%, the car has only covered 38000 miles and is spotless

any help would be much apprieciated

thanks

I think I've just looked at this?

Is it listed at £7000 on eBay?

Did think that's massively overpriced!

was it a cat c or d damaged vehicle or just a damaged vehicle, if the latter then there is no reduction in price, lots of cars have have panels replaced and as long as its been done well then there is no need to reduce

[RobCrezz]

If its a Cat D then about 20% off if its in great condition.

The vehicle was recorded as a cat c, I still don't understand why, maybe the insurance assessor was having a bad day, the damage was fixed within a day, I will upload a photo and let people give me their own opinion to what it is worth, a straight one would make around £7500,

It's just hard sometimes trying to convince people that there was only very light damage, I have seen cars needing reshelled and listed as a cat D.......

Cat C -25or30% mate, in my personal opinion, without that kind of reduction it wont get bought

I know its after the fact , but you haven't got any pics of the car when it was damaged i.e before repair ?

But if not I'd say £5800 as a private sale.

I have took photos of the damage before I repaired e car, do you think it would be a good idea to include them in the sale pictures??

This. If you've got that up at anywhere near £7k and your (to be commended) honesty you'll get nowhere.

Good luck though, i'm looking for one of these myself.

I think I will stick it up for £5800 and see how I get on, as I have said earlier the car is spotless, new tyres fully serviced etc, I can't say to much or it will look like a blatant plug to sell the car, I will stick it up on here later and try fleabay too,

Cheers for the help!

I think if you put the before pics up too you'll get more people to look at the car.

Its not a cooper S it's a cooper and there is a lot of difference to the serious buyer. I love the Cooper S but think the Cooper is pretty standard for people who can't afford the S.

£5800 for a nice looking car is sensible. But I wouldn't pay it.

Good luck
