Default Can't believe I'm asking..

Am I being greedy or is it just the "economic climate"? I've had 1 genuine enquiry in 24 hours.. Unfortunately not from here either.

If I am, price advice please. ?

Why not finish off the little jobs, be much easier to sell at that price.

Cos I'm now living the other side of the country with no transport and funds are low. I have no choice, but I need transport for my brothers kids.

I think you'd be lucky to see much more than a grand for it if I'm honest

If I am honest, 1k.

No mot, so you can't tell what might be wrong with it - no proper test drive
Needs electrical/loom work - could be expensive
Need bumper sorting and spraying - could be expensive?
Needs door popers sorting - may be a big job to sort? I wont be able to lock it?
Looks like the paint is poor down the sides - needs better shots
Car not clean, all dusty inside - been sitting for a long time?
Big blue harnes belts in a normal trim car?
Car looks abandoned - especially in that barn that looks derelict.

This is what I would be thinking veiwing the advert - 2400 - wouldn't even get in touch to see about a deal.

My advice, get the exhaust on (5 minutes??) get the headlight in and the bumper on - why show a FRS bumper that aint included??

Get the door poppers and healights wired up.

The get the thing cleaned up properly and out in the open for some nice shots, not dumped in a tatty barn, gives the impression its is an abandoned wreck, rather than just needing a little finishing off.

maybe get the harnesses out, think they look odd.

The with the above sorted be looking at 1500, more with an MOT.
