I'm afraid not Robbodred, cheers

[tom888]

Will now have 6 months tax on it.

[tom888]

Would consider a PX for a passat tdi or similar. Would need cash my way

Please tell me that battery held in by more than a bungee cord??

[tom888]

Yep bungee cord.

Why are you asking £1500 for a £500 (if that) car?

That's perhaps a bit harsh mate. The engines alone go for around that price as their a common fit in golfs/polos, I know because we are looking for one right now.the car alone is worth £6/700 as it looks in good order. Take the carbs and everything else into account and he's not miles away from £1500.
It's been here a while now so it's perhaps a bit overpriced but nothing sells at Xmas time either.

Cheers hooblah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Yes it's been on here for a while. And it's true that it's hard to sell at this of the year. Like I've said I'm open to offers.

Value isn't what you have in the car its what someone will give.

Please fasten the battery down properly........

That's such an irritating statement, there's so many factors involved in what "someone will give".
Scrap man will give you £100 and someone who really wants a nice nippy little motor will give you £1500.

Good point on the battery though.

Price 'advice' is not acceptable on RR outside of the 'What's It Worth?' section.

IF you like the car and are genuinely interested, but not the price: Politely negotiate.

Anything else: Don't post anything and don't buy it. Job done.

BAD POINTS
•Slight oil leak, but nothing major at all.
•Driver site back seat has had something black spilt on it, look like tiger seal.
•Throttle is a little stiff, due to the cable set up on the carbs. A little fab work and it will sort it out, or leave it and get used to it. I have.
•Passenger side door seal has a rip in it and does let a little water in when it rains really heavy. I'll try and get round to fitting a new seal.
•Glove box has come loose, so it sits low. Again I'll try and get round to fixing it.

Being honest and thorough as I can. Don't want you to get any surprises.

This is an awesome little car. Silly quick and a great looking sleeper.
Bloody good car £1300 ono
