Its worth more than £2000. But nearly £7000 is way ott.
Rare colour, virtually unused since new, condition should be almost perfect, pre-Project Drive.
Although its going to cost a small fortune to get it on the road. Twelve months tax, MOT (provided it passes), the cambelts and a full service: doubt you would see much change from £900.

I think at that mileage it would be worth taking a risk with the cambelts, dont think id bother.

The rubber would be perished and would not be worth the risk... Same as the tyres (which are probably the original tyres) which will probably need replacing too...

Saying that, my old Rover 200 was on it first cambelt at around 11 years old, and I didn't both getting that changed. Bought the car on 43k miles, sold it 18 months on around 50k iirc.
Didnt think about the tyres. The battery will likely need replacing too :P
So.... no change from £1300?

Yes, definitely tyres as past their shelf life date. Wonder what else would need doing if sat for so long, especially if outside in all weathers.

Oil... Coolant... Brake Fluid (Brakes might even be seized... what about hand brake?)... Air-con re-gas (will have certainly lost all the gas, maybe more damage and need more work)... Aux belts...
Should I go on?
Basically it needs a Damn Good service

I would expect for that price and being it's a dealership selling the car that all these things would get checked in the workshop before its collected ie service carried out 12 mths mot, tyres replaced, aircon re-charged & 12 mths tax.

i drive past hursely hill a lot - it is owned by SMG i am pretty sure, as it was an MGR dealer as well but is now something else (but still has SMG sign or flag or something out there)
I can't believe that either of these two grages are still in business at the value they put on the cars... I told SMG that they were ahving a laugh at the price if they thought people would want them.
they had some massively late registered cars that they had put a 5k premium on the same mileage cars that were pre-registered.... even though neither of them had gone more than a few hundred miles!
Needless to say i never trusted SMG with the ZS even for servicing, but it is my nearest Xpart dealer so i have had to use them from time to time!
