Been offered a TF

It's a 2005 120 Stepspeed with 35k, red alcantara, hardtop and wood pack.
Cabin wasn't as cramped as I would have thought for a 6 footer and it felt a nice place to sit. Looks good in black too. Always liked the idea of a 160 VVC but this is a well maintained, last of the line TF. I'm just not sure on the stepspeed box. Any idea what it's worth?

They are not worth what they should be.

I often wrestle with the problem of do I take the ZS or the F.

Nice - but I'd have thought that an auto in what's supposed to be a driver's car would kill it a bit.

£2Kish would be decent value. What wheels? Any other mods - hoops etc?

There is a 03 1.8 auto 61,000 miles Head gasket done, £1900.

But a 02 1.8 auto 49.000 small dent £899.

All down to condition, has the hg been done, hardtop?? belts done. look underneath at sub frames, front and back.

thats on gumtree.

Took it out for a drive today and although its lovely, the semi auto killed it for me. The revs seem to stay the same when you change gear, which I didn't like. Would love to try the VVC though.

I really like the semi auto or sport mode on the steptronic, but it's all down to opinions, and if its not right for you then stay clear! VVC TF does go very well!

160 VVC goes very well.

The mk1 143 is not bad.
