[font="Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;"]So - been a while since i posted, and don't post all that often as i don't use the car all that often. I appreciate this isn't the best of for sale ads, but really its more of a feeler/WIW to see if there is interest and try and understand what its actually worth.[/font]
I'm not overly sure on its value as the miles are a little higher than most out there, though the engine runs great and there are no problems with clutch or gearbox and it drives without issue. Here are the details i can recall off the top of my head.
2001/Y Reg
Mileage 110k
Has fresh plugs, filter, pads all round, Bridgestones rear and Goodyear front tyres all with plenty of life.
Drives straight and true, all ball joints and engine mounts were done so no wobbles or tramlining.
Has mot til around Apr/May 2015
Tax cant remember probably a month or two left.
History - will have to report back but should more or less have full service history (non-dealer), though not much recently as its probably covered less than 5k miles in the past 3 years. Car was previously my dads who left it to me when he moved to Cyprus 3 years ago. Don't recall the number of owners but wont be more than 3/4 including my name now on the log book.
Has fresh carpets inside
Recently had suspension changed for those out a 35k miler
Had a new rear drivers CV boot.
Basically everything works as it should.
Replacement Sony speakers
Paint is generally ok
The bad bits...
The water pump seems to be leaking so the car is loosing coolant.
Has EML on - it comes and goes and doesn't affect the running of the car so most likely is a sensor playing up. Car past its last MOT as fortunately the light was out at the time but came back on recently.
The drivers seat is worn on the bolster through to the seat frame
There are some bubbles in the paint on the pax door and around rear lights
Odd scuff to the wheels, but generally ok
Has generic sony head unit as the Clarion one stopped flipping down
It leaks a little when it rains, but what VX doesn't
The heater only works on full cold, great for the winter months.
Needs a new windscreen wiper
In regards to the coolant leak i appreciate this could be off putting. I have been quoted around £350 by guglielmi + parts so would be happy to agree on repairing it if the right price was achieved plus have it given the once over.
I would be aiming for £5500 with repaired coolant leak.
Or as it stands around £5000.
I have been offered £4K trade in from a dealer so given this is a private sale i would hope to get a little more, though any feedback on price is welcomed. I guess given the mileage it may make a better track car base, or with not too much money it could easily be put back to full health and looking clean.
Reason for sale is i want to get myself into a Z4 M Coupe as they seem a bit more user friendly, not to mention a sound investment.
Look forward to feedback.
