Seen a classic for sale, 1999/T, 24,000 miles, Mica, FSH, 2 owners, how much should this guy be wanting?

 

£9K, though gonna depend on condition of bodywork, tyres, brakes, interior etc.

How much tax and MOT, any warranty, upgraded security?
Is it due a big service?

Low mileage yes, but its nearly 5 yrs old.

laters

Stu

 

er... and the rest, I would think

 

Depends on lots of different variables but 24K is very low mileage so hopefully condition will reflect that. £9,000.00 would be a bargain if in mint condition with FSSH etc. Depends on what you're willing to pay to get a good car.

I think the MY99 is considered to be the best of the UK classics (excluding 22b, P1, RB5, etc).

 

Its taxed and mot'd etc, he says its as new, doesnt have the colour keyed door handles, he wants £12,250, this is way over isnt it?

 

MY99 didn't have any colour coding so the handles should be like this.

Buy mine instead with a new engine and gearbox for £8000 and save yourself a fortune

See for sale section

 

Dont think its worth more than £10,500, it books with Parkers @ £9,500 with 40K so with 24K it cant be worth £3K more

I have just paid £9995 for MY99, 1 previous owner, 28,500 miles, FSSH, upto and including the 60K service etc, silver, all colour coded (except wing mirrors), air con, 6 cd, 12months MOT & tax, 2 year parts & labour, got new discs and pads done as well. Its a minter.
Reckon 10k is right for low miles. I checked on Parkers and it said it was about right, however it did say servicing interval was every 15,000 miles...WRONG!!!

Hope this helps

Thanks for that mate, I dont even know if it has A/C, didnt they all come with it?

 

Dont think so, m8. There a some with sunroofs (pretty rare) and some with aircon, but I think it was an option not as standard. I was recommended to get it with A/C as it helps when selling on (for a 22b )so if it hasnt, use that as an excuse for knocking a couple of quid off... worth a try anyway

J

 

Thanks mate

 

No probs... get it bought (IMHO, dont give over 10K though )
and you'll never look at another fiat coupe (fair enough 270BHP) again . I have always had german motors, dont reckon I'll be going back to them until I can afford a 911 Turbo

J

 

Oh no mate you got it wrong, I would never change my Coupe for a Scooby, I had a MY02 STi and hated it, this is for the misses

Anyway, it hasnt got air con so I have put him off

 

Haha... How come you prefer the Fiat?
Just noticed how much he is askin... what planet is he on????
For a few more quid you'll pick up a nice MY02 or even a MY03 (by the way prices look to be heading)

Anyway, best of luck whatever you get

J

 

Cheers mate, I love the fiat, mine is chipped etc and is effortless power, the STi had serious turbo lag even with a TSL zorst

Yup his isnt on the right plantet, looking for one with air con now, low mileage for around £10K

 

Fair enough!

Reckon thats a good plan TBH.

just for some info check out http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadid=292844

Good luck with it

J

 

Cheers mate but doesnt say it has A/C

 

Sorry, wasnt meaning for you to buy that one, more as a price comparison IE: Newer, less miles, near enough same price as the original one you were lookin at!

J

 

Oh yea cheers mate, now know that other one was well over the odds

 

Hehe.. just a bit

J

 

Will be a case of waiting for the right one me thinks

 

Sounds like a good plan, if I see anything, I'll give ya a shout (so to speak)
