i just sold 03 sti 426 bhp minter 9k

you can get 56 sti 2.5 13k now ....

 

Ok...maybe 10k is a bit of a stretch...well Im not looking for too much for the car as is, however 3k is a little less then I expected, but you never know the way things are right now I might just have to take you up on that.

 

FFS don’t take less then 5k
people are just taking the **** trying to take advantage of your situation for 4.5k Id be interested
Stick you your guns. Take the best offer but wait a few weeks

 

Honest truth is that if someone offers you 4k, take it.
Cosmetically the repairs may be reasonable, but with the replacements of airbags and seatbelts (yes you have to replace the seatbelts and pretensioners after an accident as they are now useless) and maybe the radiator etc (the chassis may need checking to ensure its not twisted in any way) it eats away at your profit
Parts are the biggest hit on people buying to repair this car, it can be done cheaply but then again if its not done properly.....

Given that the impact has deployed the airbags it would need a jig and pull to repair, not a maybee a deffo to repair correctly. If you reckon £10k could be achieved for this when repaired i suggest you look around you could buy a staright undamaged one for that so why would this fetch that? 20% below that at retail and unless you are a private seller you have to declare the damage. Then if it has been damaged you cannot sell it on finanace or without telling someone its been repaired so you are then looking for someone with 8>10k in cash who wants to buy a damaged repaired car? The only way this will achieve a good price is someone buying to keep for themselves , anyone like myself that buys it would buy it to break it and only have a nod and wink its ok to the warranty all components and take the risk.
It if nothing else faulty of course teh idea is to l achieve profit in parts but not in a day,often cars take a year or more to reduce to parts and yield profit,and vat payable on parts sold,rental to store it,disposal of the waste products,insurnace etc etc etc
It like everything is only worth what someone will pay for it. I have not attached a bid for the car yet but reckon my valuation "in my head" will be close, if not there are loads more out there.(sti 7 just in, same sad waste of a car starts and drives, airbags ok,some front end parts on;-) )
All imho by the way and no insults intended, and i repeat Mrs _t let me know when ya decide what to do.
The sale price is one which has to be set by the seller and agreed by the buyer

 

Did the airbags and pretensioners go off

 

yes..activated by the sensor on nsf.judging by pics

 

People are not taking the p... as you state.. Its an offer that can be excepted or refussed simple,you state dont except lower than 5k then u say you will offer 4.5 who is taking p... now ????

 

03 STi for sale on Pistonheads that was a CAT D repaired going for £6,995!

No point spending maybe £1,500 to get your car fixed, + road tax, M.O.T if its run out as its been in storage for so long. and any other things that might need fixing, could end up costing you more then you think. Personally Id get shot off it, and there are plenty of decent offers on here id take, and not have the hassle of getting it fixed yourself!!!!


Just fixed my missus car that had a slight bump on it recently, and trust me, it didnt look as bad when looking at it, but you dont realise how much money you really have to spend, things like steering rack could be bent, tracking will be miles out, and other suspension parts could be bent.

 

as said above get rid if someone offers you 4k,i wish i had now when i bumped mine and i never set airbags or anything off,wasnt that bad but i have to tell anyone interested in it its been damaged and as soon as thats mentioned nobodys interested anymore and mines an hpi clear version 5 typeR,been fixed for 3 years now and couldnt even get 4.5k with a rebuilt engine and full tax and mot

 

Hang on a minute I didn't and don’t plan on offering anything for it it was to highlight how cheap I thought the offers had been for the damage caused (before I noticed the airbags had gone off).
Your offer of 3k is taking the Pi** big style and you know it.

 

i just got 10150 for my straight 03 sti PPP with 38k on the clock so if you think 10k straight then good luck you might get some poor bugger buying it! I may be interested in it but not 5k with the airbags deployed!

 

As with selling anything second hand, a guide price is given and buyers will always try and get you lower and lower.

I started at £5k and have had offers thrown my way, is that not how it works anymore

 

It sure is though how silly are the offers your getting, that is the question

Tony

 

And also how many will follow the offers up eh?

 

It will end up being a Cat D it has to by law

 

Thats not true actaully it could be a cat x and as such not show, however by law if you are trade and aware of cars history you have to reveal it.

 

Why all the messing about? I didnt think this was an auction site.......

Stick it on ebay job done.

Please accept my apologies for ‘diving in’ on my first post!

I’m looking for a car to run in sprints and hillclimbs in the road going class. I’m currently running a bike engined single seater - it's only 180 BHP but also only one third of a tonne! There's a photo in My Scooby - https://www.scoobynet.com/scooby.php?profileid=3047 For several reasons, I want to move away from this class. So, I’m tempted by your car, as it would make a good base and I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the resale value (there’s nothing that knocks value off a car more than competing in it!).

I’d like to see some more photos of the damage, inside the engine bay and for example. Could you send me a private message so that we can exchange details.

Thanks

Wyn

 

Sorry mate the car is sold...

 

The old man don't look very happy! fpmsl

 

 

So what did you get for it then?

And who bought it? Private? Garage?

 

OK. Thanks for letting me know so quickly,

 

It was private and I got what the car was worth

 

And that was? Just tell us what you got for it no harm!!!

 

oh go on then...£4300

I'm happy with that
