Still a lot of stigma with Q plater's and you do see the odd Saff with high miles knocking about at £2.5k so I'd say if it's clean £2k would be a fair price.

Unfortunately, if the guy really loves the car etc he might not be willing to accept the truth just yet

WHY are people so funny about Qs i mean to me i dont care if its a Q or any normal plate

Its one of them things that makes me laugh tbh someone see's a Q and will more likely walk away ????

I know its harder to insure as i asked about a RST and got asked loads of questions about it

Plus you could be buying anything, that could have been put together be anyone in many cases. If you know the car and its history then there's no reason whatsoever not to buy a Q plater as long as you can insure it ok.

2WD or 4x4 etc?

If the respray is bad then £2k for 2WD and 3k for 4x4.

I don't think Q plate matters at this end of the market.
