Salvage yard just offered me £120 for the ZS

Can't believe it, thought it might of been at least £250.

I reckon i could make £300 just by selling the seats, manifold, calipers and cam sensor.

They say they've just bought the same car off someone else this morning for £120 so can offer me the same.

It's daft, the cars running, with 10 months MOT, it just needs someone to sort the timing, I'll sort it if I have to, but I was hoping for £400.

Might stick it on ebay and see what happens.

I wouldn't try and sell it if it isn't running properly, it just gives prospective buyers a stick to beat you with.

2001 - 51 plate
Silver

Condition wise, the seats are half leather with blue on them, in really good condition.

Externally, the drivers side rear door has had a bit of a knock, so could do with a new door.

Because I'm getting rid of my pride and joy (MG TF), so I want to replace it with another car I can treat as my price and joy, and sadly, being a mark one I'm just not 'into' this car.

Personally, I think apart from the engine issue, and the dent in the door, I think it's a really decent car.

I'm going to speak to my mechanic sometime and see how much he'd charge to put the timing right, or I'll do it myself. Then maybe sell it on.

But would be much easier if I could sell it to someone as a project for £400, but I don't know it's that's just being very optimistic.

You're lucky they offered you that much.

Does the car have any MOT?
