Rich Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 20k?? are ya windin me up or what? for a car of this spec you pay a price like 20k,they are very rare indeed,as you can no longer bring them over due to lack of model report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 True, but with the ten year age-applicability of ESVA, doesn't that mean we might start seeing 96's coming over again - the first of the facelifts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 The first of the facelifts.. BUT not the first of the VVTI engine config facelifts... All it is.. is a bumper and some indicators on the 96-97 's VVTI engies were introduced in 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving prices down is not going to get you anywhere on this board.. Ive NEVER heard of a 98 VVTI Manual go for £13.5 k especially a modified one like this! Ive heard of facelift autos 96-97 going for that sort of price most of them tiptronic or autos.. People like you are KILLING the resale on all of our cars with all the incorrcect information! Get with it:complain: If you want to prove your point go and find one DECENT VVTI 98 + with low mileage and a manual box for £13,000.. You wont find ONE especially one that is the quality of Markie's car. Mate to be honest unless your going to buy Markies car flat out or get close to his asking price whats the point in posting this sort of crap in some ones 'FOR SALE' post? It just screws up Markie's sale? Stick with your Flat 4's as per your Username you might get more for your £13 K then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Thought Alex did get £13.5k his for his 98VVTi 6 Speed T61, but as he was saying a lot of people might not have wanted the single on it (for some reason, i would of had it ) Edit: But yeah this car shouldn't go for less than £18k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Single turbo increases insurance etc etc.. I think his car had quite a high mileage as well ? I might be misaken. But he did sell it for TO LITTLE you should not judge the rest of our cars going for that sort of price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yeah, Alex's car had about 80000 miles on it and some HPI issues, iirc. I think this thread to should be pruned by a Mod to remove Mr O'Chavs helpful comments. Or just delete all his posts? "ya know!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed, the VVTIs still get a high price, hence the edit to the original post to make sure no one thought i was saying they weren't worth it etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember he bought it for 11k originally and reletively standard... but as Markies is in black, it makes all the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Markie if you want me to prune this back please pm me. I think we should start a thread on "how much are VVTI's worth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire148 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Markie if you want me to prune this back please pm me. I think we should start a thread on "how much are VVTI's worth" VVTI's are worth as much as the buyer wants to pay. Simple demand and supply ... and there are quite a few for sale at the moment, given the rarity of them in the UK. Trying to keep the prices higher than people want to pay just means that none will sell (in the timescales that the sellers want). I paid £15k for my VVTI back in August last year, but I doubt I could fetch more than £12-3 for it now ... but then ITS NOT FOR SALE If you are planning on selling a rare car then you have to expect to wait a while for a good buyer and at this time of year there ain't many of them around for sure. Either that, or drop the price to attract people in ... and push down all the prices as already stated in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
