Hi mate im no expert but if the car is straight and unabused (if there is such a thing for scooby) assuming you can document the engine re-build etc that figure would seem realistic. Good Luck

depending on what sort of history is with the car, the general condition of it, and whether anything may need replacing soon, i dont see why £4000 isnt a fair price.

for a potential buyer, a new engine is good as it has plenty of life, but 'why did the engine let go in the first place' is a question they might ask you.

any pics of the beast?

Hiya ,yeah the car is un abused , when i got the car ide had reciepts for nearly £5000 , which i still have , i can prove the car has recently been rebuilt ,i have reciept from asp , i have just got my self a new walbro fuel pump which i havent fitted yet , the car has recently had new discs on rear and pads on front which are miner things , which im not expecting to raise the price one bit, The car has a scratch along the boot lid which i havent got around to repairing yet, i love it and dont really want to sell her ,especially after puting £2500 into her , but ive had her nearly 4 years and im due to renew , The reason she let go was due to faulty coil pack and possibly bad fuel , which i was told be asp , the car runs as sweet as a nut when shes warmed up ,as when shes cold there is a bit of a rattle due to forged pistons which may put a potential buyer off , but if you know youre scoobs you will no thats normal , im just getting a feel for selling her ,,, there is a couple of pics i have on a4 paper which i took of her when i had a digital camera but dont posses one no more so took picture of the pics with me phone , Cheers for the help...any help on uploading pics

I hate to **** on your parade mate but due to the fact that Autotrader/Flea bay is packed with scoobies with rebuilds/mods, the chances of getting 4k is almost impossible.

Now i'm not saying the car is not worth it BUT, what i am saying is that why would anyone buy yours for £4k when they can buy other cean examples for £2.5-£3k ...the market is fooked

I know what you mean like , although due to just putting 2500 quid into it i would rather blow the bloody thing up rather than let it go for 3000, and be out of pocket....but i know the car is worth it deep inside , but thats the market for you, and i supose the ones on e bay are scrappers
