Evening all, I have been to look at a J spec auto TT today, its black, H reg 60k miles and full service history from new, it drives pretty well but the bodywork is rough as its been was standing for over a year, no dents but all paint has faded and feels like sandpaper if you run your hand over it. He wants it moved before it stands for another year, but what price do you suggest I offer him, its has leather interior as well which again looks rough but no rips so when cleaned up that should be ok. I would post a picture up but the pictures I took make the car look a lot better than it really is :D

A few years ago I bought a Jag. It was white underneath the green algae and was also like sand paper. After some heavy elbow grease it looked like a new car. How much is the asking price? I would offer £1000 and see what he says? You never know your luck.

 

ATB

take it that its not got mot etc then?? well the mileage is very good and with full history to back it up thats good too.

 

thing is a respray can cost around a grand quite easily so that needs thinking about.

 

if all mechanics are spot on then i would prob be happy paying a couple of grand + grand respray + mot, tax etc. so for under £4k you would have a very good looking zed with very low miles for a uk spec. (its an auto though, only bad bit!! ;) )

 

gaz.

hmm dont do it.. can have mine for 4.5k

lol and its great.

and 5 speed.

Has a years MOT thats why he wants it sold now, he said ideally he wants £3k, but he was going on the fact that he paid nearly £10k when he bought it 5 years ago, he now realises that is just too overpriced and said make me a sensible offer, just what is a sensible offer though, think I might go in low, about £1k like vini says and see whats said. Just not sure how far up to go at the moment, what sort of prices have others paid/sold at?

The whole idea of me buying it is to give me something new to work on and take up my time, had a couple of shitty months just now and want to take my mind off things and get my hands greasy again. ;)

LOL I was kidding anyway.. someone would have to pry me away from my car.

lol

its great these arnt they.
