What is worth...?

Featured Replies

Afternoon all

Just trying to gathering peoples opinion on what my car is worth as i am trying to work out what my next step will be, the body work is in good condition apart from you expect stone chips and a slight bit of rust coming up on the rear wheel arch (which i can get sorted before sale if i need to).

Spec list is below

Fabia VRS in Red

Miles 75000 (just over)

Servicing is fully up to date, had a oil service last weekend.

Remap done at Browns, Thame

PD 160

Seat front strut brace

Custom Rear Strut brace

17inch spiders which have been straightened and sprayed at lepsons swindon 2-3 months ago

Tyres are toyo t1 r with plenty of life left

Helix single mass fly wheel clutch kit

Quaife LSD and a gear box rebuild less then 1500 miles ago (5th to 6th syncro died)

vmax coilover with required drop link

cupra console bushes

Piper full exhaust from turbo back (i still have the standard cat)

EGR delete

Most of the work has been carried out at Browns in Thame.

thanks for reading

05 plate mate, i knew i would forget something :-(

£4500-£5000 maybe? await other responses to round it out.

Sell most of your mods off too, majority of peeps would like a more standard car. Looks nice GLWTS if you decide to sell up.

Seem to be quite a few selling up lately.

You'd probably find some who'd swap boxes + cash your way mate!

You didn't mention turbo or map stage etc?

cheers mate, its the hassle of having to take the parts off. I use the car as a daily so cant really afford to have it off the road :-(

Standard turbo on a remap with standard side mount IC so i am guessing thats stage 1 :-s

Yeah it would be then dude!

It seems a really good starting point for someone wanting to head down the hybrid route : )

I'm in a similar situation right now so I see where you're coming from as I really don't want to hastle of putting mine back to standard, especially turbo swapping etc :(

i know what you mean, on the other hand another option is to go down the hybrid route with a seat fmic. What set up do you have?

I think you have highered the value to a smaller market, and decreased it to a larger market, So probably somewhere like pistonheads.com you could put it up for 6k, and would get offers, but a tradein, maybe 3.5k (they won't appreciate the mods) and auto trader 4.5-5k.

yeah i think i may have decided to keep it and get a uprated turbo now, just need to work out figures

and are you thinking of going back to standard?

Possibly, depends if I get interest in it as it is. Swapping turbo would be costly in labour and that is what's putting me off :(
