I have a completely standard UK 2000 Turbo wagon, 1996 pre facelift with 118k on the clock and a decent but not full service history. It passed it's MOT today without any major issues, but cosmetically it needs some TLC. Few scrapes here and there, with some bubbling over the rear arches. Drives fine but engine light occasionally comes on and off. Aircon doesn't work.

I guess they are not very desirable unless mint condition, £1500?

I've been running it as a second car but think I would rather have a cheap MX5 for a bit more fun.

I think you have the price bang on there. Put £1700 but drop to £1500.

Thanks, will give that a go

IMO anything over £1k and you've done well !

My mate bought low mile import for £1600. But body work wasn't amazing and needed some tlc. But I'd say you'd get £1500.

Have to agree with RAF on this one... if you can get someone to part with a grand+ for it then you've done alright.

I'm sure you know full well that the bubbling rear arches isn't simply a ''cosmetic'' issue that requires nothing more than a quick rub down and blow over to put right... but in the current market I'm sure some idiot will overlook that and pay you silly money for it.

Most people don't know this. He should get £1500 easy enough. Seems the standard price for a classic. Unless completely wrecked.

Appreciate the bubbles on the rear arch might be tip of the iceberg, but how do you tell how bad it is underneath from a visual review? I'm not experienced in where to look to understand how big the issue is. Certainly not looking to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

I wouldn't bother looking if your selling, alot of these will be like this.

You need to remove inner wheel arch covers, inside boot liner, and check top of sturts. Mines fine i think, not done big search. Part of me doesn't want to know lol.

I wasn't implying that you would pull the wool over anyone's eyes... I was more commenting on all the stupid buyers paying silly prices out there

The rust is there for any potential buyer to see, it's their own fault if they're prepared to pay strong money for it without doing their research into just what a serious and expensive problem it probably is to put right

Thanks both, won't try looking into it too much, buyer can do the investigation.
