and i would consider some cash as well with my car but be realistic your cars are not worth what they were .

£4500 is a bargain for a good MK2, even for an average MK2 so i suggest it is you who needs to get real. Car tax raise is irrelevant now - anyone wanting a performance car is going to have to pay high tax no matter what brand of car they choose. No one - and i will bet my house on it - will swap a MK1 53 plate ZR for a MK2 ZS - even the 1.6 110's still command around £4000. Also, if your buyer for cash would care to look on Autotrader he will find plenty of 160's for anywhere between 2 and 3 thousand all in original spec' which as any car trader will tell you is far more desirable. I don't think i will be alone here in saying your attitude is poor - especially telling a respected forum member that you think he has priced his car too high when you have this comedy sales pitch !
