Still on the hunt for a new car.

I have come across a lovely looking mk1 but its quite expensive (so thinks I anyway)

Can i just run a few bits of infor past you and see what the market value is so i can work out what to offer for said car.

Im not going to post the link because one of you might sneak infront of me and snap it up!

Its a 1992 silver UK 1.6
75k miles
Mot till apr 11
tax till end of the year
looks to be rust free (though i havent been to see it yet)
lots of stuff replaced including brakes, cambelt and serviced every 6 months.
not mentioned if history is present but 90% sure it will be.
looks nice all over.

Basically, i think that it is a very good example with a relitvly low milage.

its up at £2000.

would it be an insult offering £1750?

For this time of year £2k is a fair asking price. If he was selling it over the winter months he'd struggle to get £1500.

Having said that I bought my mk1 1.8 S-Special in January this year. It was showing about 75,000km (50,000 miles) and the condition reflected it - it was mint!

There were no signs of rust and it had only been in the UK for 12 months. Anyway I paid £2500 for it as I not seen anything even comparable.

So, if it's all sound then i'd say £1750 is a good offer...

Yup, its fair asking price IMO, looks to tick all the right boxes.

Offer the £1750, and if you buy it for somewhere in between then that would be a fair deal I reckon - pending it actually being rust free, of course.

Thanks for the replies

I thought it was about right. Ill see hoe i get on. I get the impression the seller may be a tough negotiator though.

If I get it, I will post up some pics for all to see!

Struck a provisional deal at £1800

payable if the car is to my liking.

I will of course post up some pics for you all to see if i buy it!

Very, Very, EXCITED!!!!!!
