most of you will know my car, but for those who don't, it's 35k miles, fsh,MAD stage 4 327bhp 356lb/ft, entered in novice concours last year and will be again this year (see siggy below for details of placings), used approx 10 times a year (mostly less than this though) for the last 2 or 3 years , stored in a carcoon when not being used, currently on 19" super leggeras with 6 pot AP's, Konis, GGR exhaust with cat, leather, loads of colour coding detailing under the bonnet and in boot etc, a lot of money has been spent on this car, new clips, tanks, screws,caps etc for concours last year,FSH all receipts.
In very good condition, the engine bay is particularly clean for a mid 30k mile car.
So what's it worth, this is not a for sale post, yet.

 

£20Kish realisitically

but the same time I wouldn't mind knowing what people thought mine was worth sadly a lot less then in parts I'd imagine

 

Do you think Paul
Seems a tad high, I would like to think I could get that for it but I am not sure - still 20k is a lot to put towards my next bufty machine

 

MATCOS Can I ask what you are thinking of getting next mate?

 

When you consider the concours history, condition, spec and millage you couldn't replace it for less IMO

 

A low miles moonstone 500 IF I can a) find one b) afford one
I have a 20k budget and the feelers are out

I just need a buyer now then-if I was to sell obviously

 

I'd give it to a specialist like Duncan at www.automotiveunlimited.co.uk to sell

 

Paul,
I have already contacted him
I have bought a few cars through him before and his service is great

 

No way 20k imo, no offence. Tonks did novice concours and couldnt shift his at 12.5k. yes it had almost double the mileage.

An imperial blue one with 13k miles sold for 20k the other day


If selling and you dont want it to be for sale for agggggggeeeeessssss
I recon 18k

 

Personally I think the 13k Imperial one was under priced but I take your point, I may try my luck and wait for the right buyer, it's not like a low miles 500 is going to drop in my lap any day soon.

 

their are 3 low milers on pistonheads

 

I have seen but it's only the moonstone one that appeals and it's 5k too much

 

modified cars are a bit harder to sell

i put mine for sale and have had nobody ( well 2 calls asking price )
interested at all

i think for 20k your car would need to be mint underside as well mate

 

Well that isn't going to happen

 

How much is yours Dave?!

 

I think if i was to ever get rid of mine, it would be in spares.

Worked for me on the Saph.

 

i reckon it cant be far off 20k myself but to the right person


you may be waiting a while for the moonstone 500.i have a mate with one and they are like a holygrail

i can have a word with him and see if he knows of any?

 

Yes please the more people know I am looking the better chance I have

 

 

if it was mine i would want 20k for it,,, i got bid 20k on my escos before, i don't want to sell it at the moment so i declined, but thats the kind of money i would want for mine. my car is quite a big spec & rare colour but Matts is low miles & super clean

 

Matt, KEEP IT!!

 

If I don't find a 500 I will, but I want a change and have always wanted a standard moonstone 500

 

matt please please please please please dont sell it ..........but if you do i'd like to buy the leggeras of you please

 

matt there is a lovely modified 500 on the rs bb

just ready for you to concours !!

 

Sorry to but in on your thread Mat but what would you think mine was worth? I'm getting a hankering for old skool cool

 

I would expect to see any low miler concourse escos to sell for high teens

 

not you as well mines going up for sale in the next couple of weeks as well theyll be none of us left,lol

 

I will give you 14k cash

 

if it was me matt id keep your escort the mallard wouldnt be my choice of colours but when ya see SUPER CLEAN examples of mallard green cars ie yours and cos 22 it would grow on me... i can understand that you always lusted for a 500 but to sell such a good example of an escort youd just want to be sure that you would get a 500 for your 20k, i can imagine the amount of time you put into the escort and you cant put a price on that, if you hold out id say you would get very close to what ya want for it, but advertise it in the right places, the last thing ya want is to have your head wrecked by people who only want to come and have a look at it

 

oh yes there will

Matt if you do sell dont let it go for under £20K.....worth that all day long mate.

 

MONSTER
i'd say yours will pull a high premium too.going by what ive seen of itgot to be 17k plus surely

i will point out though lads that the moonstone 500's are pulling top cash.my mate got offered 30k on his and turned it down. standard with 35k on it.

 

Monster...All the times i pestered you Dont insult me and Keep it! PMSL

Matt, I reckon £20K.

My old one just sold for £19k and was basically standard apart from wheels. The Imp blue 13K one was way too cheap and thats why it sold within 24hrs!

STick to your guns mate, £20k to the right person

 

#
i agree,the right owner will be out there. why take fuck all cos people asume they are not wanted.the trouble with cossies now is they are being bought now by entusiasts not fast car lovers.the fast car boys have moved on to evo's etc leaving the real cossie boys to get on with thier passion. it just takes time to pair the right car to the right owner now.

 

I am probably going to take the wheels, brakes and number plate off, I think it will appeal to more people,and I can always sweeten the deal by offering them at a good price if they really want them.
That way I make some lucky people very happy by providing them with AP 6 pots, big rear disc conversion, 19" leggeras and 18" MO's

 

Mate I would deffinaly put back on standard wheels easy get £18K and sell the other parts for an easy £2k

 

I was offered £1500 for the Super leggeras years ago and now they are even harder to get hold of so I hope to get at least that on the Bay, brakes should make strong money and I have interest in the MO's already, they will probably go first

 

Oh and if any one is after one of the Creative carbon 'wolf' spoilers, mine will be for sale as soon as I get a chance, it wont have even been trial fitted

 

Can't believe your doing it! but then there is a little bit of everyone wants a RS500 (mine would be white thou)

 

mine would be moonstone as well,good choice matt, just dont think i could live with the lag

 

Just ignore me mate, i was having a 'moment'
