It's worth more than that. Personally I'd decide on a price you realistically want for it and hold out for that. There's nothing causing you to need it sold immediately, so that's on your side. That and you have a car a lot of people would want :)

I'd be tempted to take it as eBay is full of dreamers when it comes to nice cars like this! Could you not twist him into offering more? Be upsetting if he broke it for bits though! Well worth 7k!

I agree with you two. I think I'm goin to hang on for closer to 7k. He wasn't a bad bloke to be fair. I thought he would have tried it on big style

If I do break it I would want 5750ish for engine/clutch/box/manifolds/turbo/fuel system/ecu/water meth. And everything else so you could fit it straight into another car. I would even throw engine mounts in haha. then shell I'd like 2k for with body kit/lights seats/all suspension/stereo/ wheels. But
Still not sure whats happening I'm undecided. He's been texting me again today offering 6k. But I would feel as though I'm giving her away. Would be back on eBay for 15k within a few week with a wide arch kit on it :(

If I did break it would be engine then car :0). I wouldn't be really that interested in going to individual pieces. I know I would get more but couldn't cope with the hassle of people not turning up and letting me down.

Would definitely be interested in full engine package depending on when this would be happening.

What power you running?

At the mo it's at 1.5bar and probably low 400's. but with the parts on the car a map could take it up to 550 600. Depending on how far you want to push it. That's the only thing it would need. If you put some 272's in it you could run more. Just might be challenge to drive in traffic with those in.

It's such a shame that the decent money in these cars is in breaking only. Whatever you do decide to do don't sell yourself short on it. You've put a huge amount of time and money in, so you deserve to get a reasonable amount in return. :thumleft:
