Thinking of selling

[coreygraham180]

what kind of a price would a mk2 110 saloon with the 180 kit sell for with 61k on the clock
due to a change of circumstances needing a very small diesel so what to put my 110 on the market any idea's anyone

[Ritchy]

£1000-£1700 id think, depends whos buying plus its before christmas, also not saying its a bad colour but green cars are the worst sellers :/

[BUCKYDEVIL]

It is a very nice 110 for sure so at least start on the forums with around £1200
If you cant shift it after a few weeks then I reckon around £900-£1000 Gumtree/Ebay
Might sound a bit harsh but I would also value my own car as low as this..
If you are selling due to circumstances then Why not sell your 180 ?
The 110 is a very cheap car to run so what you thinking of replacing it with. ?

well the 180 is my dad running it at the moment so isn't costing me anything to run so that is the reason for the sale of the 110 i am now doing a lot more miles in the car and the combination of fuel and insurance makes it a nonviable option so i am looking for a small diesel to get the most miles per £

Was this advertised on eBay without pics?

[vanishing days]

I'd say anything from 900-1500 Its all down to the buyer with mg's

[coreygraham180]

no i haven't put it on ebay

[Ritchy]

What diesel car you thinking? Might not be as many mpg as you think and older diesels can be costly to maintain, i.e. injectors and turbos. And diesel is mor expensive

[Steven11]

I wouldnt have thought a 110 would have been that thirsty, what kind of MPG are you actually getting from it ?

[Ritchy]

I know on a run i get about 40mpg

[Steven11]

I know on a run i get about 40mpg

That's pretty good if you ask me, that must be quite close to what the ZS TD gets. Ide be properly chuffed with 40 MPG

[Ritchy]

Diesel zs gets 50mpgiirc

[Smokey]

You'll regret it mate and it wont save you any money!

[ZS]

I'll swap you my MG F for your 110 ;)

[Supercharged_Z]

You'll regret it mate and it wont save you any money!

This! :) by the time you have sold, counted your losses and spent on a new car your fuel difference will not be that much at all, only at 15000 miles plus will a diesel show real benifit, right now you could be looking to change for pennys per month

[coreygraham180]

well i have done the math and i am looking to change to a wee lupo diesel and it will be saving me over £100 a month and i will still have the yellow one tho so the zs wil still be in my blood lol

[Smokey]

Put the maths up here mate, not convinced you'll save that much!

[coreygraham180]

well at the moment i am getting 30 mpg out of my car at the moment and with a lupo diesel they are about 65 mpg on a bad run to that will take about £50 off of my fuel bill a month roughly and do a quote on the insurance and they will drop my monthly premiums by £65 a month and the lupos are only £30 a year to tax as well so there is more of a saving there

[Ritchy]

i like lupos, mega easy to work on just pull to bits haha

[ZS Phil]

But how much will the lupo cost to buy? Im sorry but if you are only getting 30 mpg from a 1.6 k series on a run then it isnt running properly or needs a dam good service.
Why not look at something with an L series like a zr or zs, you really wont be dissapointed with performance or mpg. Plus you can keep a bit of dignity rather than driving a lupo, having said that I do like the 1.6 GTI although they are massively over priced for what they are.

[Smokey]

That was my next question. How much is the Lupo (if financed, plus interest) and break that down over a year....?

[Dan1971]

Fair enough - if you've done the math and feel that you'll be saving money - do it.

Should get a grand for your 110 easy - but if it's only doing 30mpg it's either in desperate need of a service or your ragging the arse off it. Give it a chance by servicing it - it'll be easier to sell - and then you'll get 40+ to the gallon driving it steady.

[ZS]

If your driving the 110 "like you stole it" all the time, and thats why the MPG is lower, then I would suggest that the Lupo won't be much better...

[ZRed]

1.6 isn't great on fuel. In all honesty, I find from the 1.4 right up to the 1.8vvc in any car, the fuel costs are rubbish. As rule of thumb, throughout my fleet, I get 50 miles for a £10 fuel. K series need to be revved. Revving = crap fuel economy. Simples.

[ZRed]

Edit function won't work! Should say 40 miles to £10.

[coreygraham180]

well the car i am looking at is 1800 so that why i was looking to see what kind of price i would get before so i can weigh up the options

[DannyZR]

Had a proper look at your car on the computer it looks top

[p_b82]

as others above had said you should be getting more than 30mpg out the car... yes progress may not be hugely brisk but you will get where you want to go and go up to the speed limit - just takes a wee while longer to get there is all :)

Technically speaking the L-series can get up to 60mpg (have done it at 50mph everywhere dying of boredom), most people get 40-45mpg on a run at NSL though - even at 130kph on the continent will still give you that range...

if it is the non turbo charged car - if you have to use motorways at all - you are really really going to struggle, as i think the SDI verses the TDI has something like 15+ seconds to 60....

If it were me i'd look to see why the car is not giving you the economy the consensus suggests it ought to, and then rethink.... maybe pick up something older for less initial outlay? (maybe sorn the ZS in case circumstances change again?)

i know my old nasp 205 diesel with the awful 1.8 lump in it was bullet proof and always gave me over 50mpg however hard i tried to kill it - and boy did i try (driving it 20miles with no coolant as the radiator sprung a leak at NSL :laugh: )!

well i have changed the oil and put on the winter tyres and the car does seem to be doing better about the 37 mpg now which is alot closer to the manufacturers claim but i still need a lot more to justifly keeping the zs and will be the tdi i get as the sdi is just that too slow :p

[DannyZR]

Deffo more then im getting out of the golf

[mattie007]

I get 38-45 out of my 120 and thats a good mix of driving.
The only reason I can see why Coreys 110 might be worse than a 120 is that you have to rev it more to pull away (same car, smaller engine).
I remember my mate used to get 40mpg out of his 216, yet I could only manage 35 in my 211, had to thrash it to get anywhere!

[DannyZR]

Sold!!!!! :d

[coreygraham180]

^^^^ what he said
