Warwicks - It has had alot of work done to it.

As always the old debate of... Strip it back to standard and sell the parts or sell it as it is with a huge price tag.... :|

[Fabia_19]

Very nice motor- its a lot of hassle and effort stripping for parts thou!

[R1chard]

Cheap considering what it's had spent on it !

[toosmiles]

I'm surprised it's still for sale personally.

Cheap way to decent power.

[warwick hunt]

recession hit hard eh...

[wja96]

As was said in Boss Fox's other thread, there is a very small number of target customers for this sort of vehicle. It'll either sit there for months or it'll be snapped up immediately.

I'm afraid I'm with most of the others on this. Spend £500 having it put back to standard and sell the bits for £4500-6500 and you'll get the other £5500 from the sale of the car. You should be up on the deal at the end of it.

[warwick hunt]

aint got any of the standard bits..

[toosmiles]

first dibs on any parts though please

[Ad Lav]

Trouble is people won't pay over the top for it - they'd rather get a cheap standard one and buy some of the bits... unless they know about cars/VAG tuning etc

[warwick hunt]

still think mine wud be worth 7k standard...aint gona get many good mods for 2k tho..

[warwick hunt]

as in to get high power.

I think the asking price is spot on, its worth more than that all day long, if you were in a position to get a boggo one for £6-£7,000 or this for the asking price its a no brainer if modding was on the cards from the start. But as was discussed in a previous thread, its juts a case of waiting for the right person when selling a modded car.

Good luck with the sale

[Robbie 88]

well if you want to put back to stardard i wouldnt mind dibs on a few bits and ill give you all my standard bits in return

[wja96]

Well, the great thing about this game is we all get to see how quick it does sell.

Why is it advertised by a dealer? Someone doing you a favour or have you traded it?

[Johnny50]

I have to say i'm in the camp that would be happy to pay that money for a fabia of that spec.

If i were in the market, i'd never be able to afford to buy the standard car, and mod it to that level, so to me, it would be worth the small premium over standard, to get the spec i wanted.

It's a shame you're selling, but a bonus for whoever buys it

[TriggerFish]

Same as Johnny. I'd rather buy that than standard and mod. Sadly, that's outside of my budget. :(

Good luck with the sale though, hope it sells.

[xa0sx]

The problem is, when I was looking for a car I had a £5k budget so I thought to myself I could get a vRS. I began looking and couldn't justify any of the £5.5k onward cars as my budget was £5k. I ended up buying mine for £5k.

Now I've spent like £20k on it or whatever, so it would have been a no brainer to buy something highly modified to start with, but if I had a budget of £10k at the time I wouldn't have been looking at vRS' and instead looking at VXR's or something. You're not gunna find many people that have £10k laying around and decide to get a vRS.

[Guest BigJase88]

Its a cracking car without a doubt

If i had say 8.5k id make you an offer

Then spend the rest towards some race nozzles

[warwick hunt]

sold to a fellow briskodian...

[grr666]

Glad to see it'll still be on here.

Well done with the sale

Someone's got a cracker

[Johnny50]

sold to a fellow briskodian...

Excellent

It'll never sell at that price you know...............

Hope you'll still hang around ?

[BossFox]

Congratulations on the sale Warwick.

Look forward to seeing your car about and hopefully meet up with the owner at an event or two.
