I dont think your asking too much mate at all. Just it may be forsale for awhile due to cars sticking! dont price it cheap either as you can never go up!

If your not desperate to sell, then just sit with it, until things pick up again!

It may be worth 16k but I wouldnt fancy trying to sell it for that,if you want rid then I`d say 14.5-15k and it WILL go for that,worth more but it wont sell anytime soon for anymore than that I`d say,have you seen the Imperial Blue one at 16k on here,not even a fuckin sniff at 16k with low miles and mega engine....crazy todays market IMO

Yeah mate, all sorted on a brand new block courtesy of Turbosystems. The engine that i bought off a member off here was completely dodgy. Block crack and long stud repaired by a blindman. I will never trust someone by their word again.

Seen you a few Sundays about going to the Port, i was in front of you at the cheese factory in a silver evo 8. Car is looking immense mate. Must get a good look around it.
