mint classic?
hi people
iv begun the hunt to replace my classic with another lower milage classic thats in mint condition as the boot in mine is rotting away nicely, something i should have noticed when i bought the car but i made the mistake of not looking into what i needed to be looking for when buying one as i was in such a rush to get my hands on one.its a uk my00 2000 turbo thats done 82000 miles iv had the car for over a year now and i really think its time to get shut and get a new one but i cant seem to find any decent classics around, is it me looking in the wrong places or are they really that hard to find? if anyone knows of any good garages to get one from could you please let me know. i need to part-ex mine as i dont think it will sell privately due to my rust problem. any help would be much appreciated

could you not get the rust cut and welded out maybe. is it inside the boot the problem is or the boot lid? if you part ex it especially at a dealer you will get bugger all mate... unless they do a minimum part ex price.

thats what i planned on doing at first mate but it now appears that it would need a new passenger sill as well because when i tried to jack it up to look from underneath i panaged to punch a big hole in it, ooops. iv also come to realise that someone has crashed it before as i can see marks where its been filled etc so i dont know if il just be opening a can of worms. i know i wont get much from a garage iv been offered around £5000 on a px, i realise now im paying for my mistake in not taking my time in the first place.

Ok I'm biased, but if you want a mint condition classic I reckon go for an RB5. You may well be able to trace the history from new and chances are it's been owned by a bit more of an enthusiast.
