02 Plate 45 Hatch - Semi-Auto
 

28K with FSH and previous MOTs in silver.

A mate and I have bought it to sell on after he fixes the HGF.

Anyone fancy it .... Price it for me ....

That first post obviously wasn't clear enough --- Sorry

What I meant was - anyone wanna give me an idea of what it's worth .... ? I've had a look around and have seen them priced from a grand up to ?3K at a dealer ! It's a Silver 2002 "02" 45 IXL hatch. Has A/C and an electric sunroof.

We're doing a wheeler dealer type thing as a bit of a hobby as he's bored having too much time on his hands as he works 12 hr shifts, and I'm just always looking at cars. I'm a more handsome and svelt Mike Brewer and he's an uglier Ed China !

Any ideas ....

A mate at work just bought an 04 25 Auto for ?850 and its in reasonable nick.
Would say the 45 is worth ?2-300 more?

Mike Brewer would say :- cost of car ?500

cylinder head skim ?100

plus parts CHG ? 75

Timing belts + tensioner ?125

water pump ?45

new oil and filter ?45

coolant ?30

Total cost ?920

Profit ?580

Selling Price ?1500.

Low miles, fsh, new belts, new CHG.

Have no idea of actual figures, but you can put the real ones in, note, no charge for Ed Chinas time, just like TV.

:pirate2::pirate2::smile1::smile1:

So far then .... all fixed up .....

Post edited as too many details of cost given away .... ;)

:mml:

Way to go, and Mike says "my best profit to date", good luck with this new venture, you selling shares in it????

:smile1::smile1::smile1:

I've got to be careful mate .... ;)

It's potentially a good little hobby which will hopefully improve my mechanical knowledge a bit if I look over my mates shoulder while he doing the work. This will work out well if the sale goes through and we don't find anything nasty. All should be fine though.

Alas I spoke too soon .... :cry: Not sold now ....

Could always offer a 3 months/6 month warranty on the head repair work, providing you sell at a good price and your labour is covered might give punters confidence that all will be OK.

Be another buyer around the corner, all in the presentation and a well worded advert.

Best of luck with it.

:wave:

So - After the initial sale fell through, the work has gone really well and .

Here she is -

To reiterate - Bought as a project / hobby. HG done. Belts, water pump and tensioner done. New coolant and oil and filter.

28K with 5 previous MOTs
Current MOT until Sept 11 and SORN.
Valeted - drives really well.
