Is this a fair price ?
I've had the Scooby a year and I really have loved it but in a quest to own all the cars I've ever wanted she has to go.
Whilst I save up the next car I REALLY want ive found an interim car that ive always wanted. A little Mgtf. I always found them much prettier than an mx5. Its a 2002 Its done 47k from new but it hasn't done a great deal in the last couple of years. I don't think its done 50 miles since the last mot. One middle aged owner but the son had the use (abuse) of it for the last three years. It has a few spots of rust and is generally unloved. It had the belts and Hg done two years ago by an ex Mgr main dealer. The soft top rear window has a tear but the roof is good and has nearly always been used with the hard top. It will need tyres. Today I blew the tyres up and jumped the flat battery, checked all the fluids and took the top of and had a spin. I had it running for around an hour with no problems. Ive agreed a price of £600 what do you think cheap, fair, Money Pit :chair: http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/q...pscf2c6213.jpg Soon to be back in an mg :mbounce: |
£600 seems a fair price.

That sounds like good value , snip it up
|
Nice Warren I'd snap that up.
I used to own one so im happy to pop up and help out, not that you'll need it im sure! |
Absolute bargin! You'd get around £200 just for the roof!
|

My 03 TF 160 was a lot more than that, so I'd say a bargain.
Hardtop and wheels will give you the buying price back!!! Can get new plastic windows that you can put in the hood, or up grade to a glass rear window. Fun little cars. |
Stick some tf 11 spoke 16s on there and an Alcantara interior and it
s worth 12-1300 |
Model type or edition plays a big part in prices, our MGF Wedgewood SE sees prices around the £2k mark still. Can't see why but that is what is seen on ebay recently, being a 500 off run helps as not many around I guess. If a run of the mill TF then prices do fall as they are all getting on now. Still, at £600 it looked a bargin for a TF and can easily be modified inside and out to make it worth a lot more for little outlay.

Well ive got it home :crazy:
Cant wait until Saturday so I can give it a clean and get a list of work needed for an mot. And the Scooby is through the mot as well. |
Nice one - congratulations on your new arrival.
|
Get it for £600 ?.
|
yep, with the roof.
Drives fine but the tyres are sh##ed |
front and rears are a different size.
check the brake lines for rust, the metal ferrules on my front rubber hoses had rusted, put s/s ones on. Had the belts, tensioners etc done and a full service done by MG Rover soloutions. He travels from Brands Hatch area. Have fun. Cheap buy. |
That's good, bring it up to scratch over the winter then sell for a tidy profit in the spring.

How much of a pig are they to get at for the belts ? the K16 belts in a zs are a very easy. |
Well that's the roof sold making it a £400 Tf with out Hgf :smart:
Downside is I can already add £120 for four good tyres on used rims :judge: And it needs a full new exhaust and the rear window fixing now ive sold the hard top. My aim is to have it Mot'd and able to do a day at Cadwell next spring and keep the cost under what I can sell it for. |
When the engine covers off, you get goodish access to the engine.
Think Russell did my belts and a Full service in 3/3 1/2 hours or so. Different alternator belt if you have a/c. There is a company thats put a KV6 into their TF. so is doable. MG Lifestyle. :clap::clap::clap: |
Any info on the firm that do the kv6 conversion Pete ? Ive seen a few threads on a diy conversion in an mgf but never seen a Tf done.
Ive already removed the access panel for the service. I do my own work when I can. |
Hope this works.

Not a lot of difference between the F and TF in that area apart from the hydrogas spheres in the subframe - eitherway you need to mod the subframe to get the exhaust fit.
