Enthusiasts cars these days so they are worth what ever someone is prepared to pay for them, but I agree I would be amazed if anyone parts with 4K for it in a hurry.

yes mate, maybe i should?

When people ask top money for rare RS's no one batters an eye( Is a 70K RS500 worth Ł20K really? Its only the same ), but cos its a Nova they do! I know its a Nova, but they were an icon back in the day, 20 years old now, so good ones and rare ones ( nova sports, L reg GSi's etc ) should always command good money to the right person!

Yes but its still a nova!!!
you'd get the same respons if you asked 4k for an XR3i!
maby if its was something like a vaxhaull lotus carlton, i could just () about see the appeal.

How can you try and compare rare Rs's like a 500 with a nova.
I can apreciate the Gsi was a limited run, and are "like hens teeth", but so were so many other cars which the odd few models were tarted up with a different badge and sold at a higher price tag.

People dont bat an eye at rs500's cause thats what they are worth, nova gsi's dont sell for 4K though, rs500's do sell for 15-20k though.

And im NOT a nova hater!

PS

If it was a nova sport in good condition, I would bite your arm off at that money.
A sport is comparable with an rs500 in terms of being by far the most desireable of the breed.

What you have though is just a nova gsi, naff all special about it other than its quite a late one IMHO

The car is a Rare L reg and only 30 GSi's were produced on a L plate.

If it was an S1 people wouldnt blink, but a good Nova now a days are like hens teeth, especially a L plate.

The car can sit for another 10 years, thats not my proplem its the reply's / enquiries i get! Ive had 14 now and not one is genuine interest! Sorry, tell a lie, one person said worth every penny, but owns a Nova Sport and cant afford two!

well i'm genuinely interested i await the pictures i asked for on Migweb (username: champion)

And there lies your problem! 4K is a huge amount for a Nova, even a very clean one.

Someone, somewhere will pay 4K for it, but you'll be waiting months, or even years till that person comes along.

That makes you look kind of silly

(although I very much doubt Matt wants to spend 4K on it of course!)

So, just out of curiosity, if it's 'as described' what would you be willing to pay?

If you do, you will get bored of it AGAIN and put a LET in it AGAIN

Just do the LET in the first place!

nah got my mates car for that as i'm building it i get to use it

the Evo if i want to be entertained

and if i bought nova it would be an weekend toy when i want a blast down the country side without the cost of filling the evo up and the weight of a C20let Nova

TBH it caught my eye and i looks just right but we will see if it comes together

Silky :

She's decided to keep the Nova Locked away in the garage ( bet it never see's light again, unless i decide a quick run now and again with trade plates on! ) Such a shame really, but her centimental attachemnt is worth more than the money, which as stated we dont need.

I was replying to you on Mig, but didnt realise your on here!
