My 180





Hi all
Bought this a year ago when our previous 180 was rear-ended and written off. It has 18000 miles on the clock, one previous owner. In the months before I bought it it had new tyres (to replace old rubber, not worn rubber!) and the belts were done. As you can guess, fastidious first owner and no expense spared to keep the car nice. Apart from two small stone chips it is in showroom condition-interior still smells new! What might it be worth if I were to sell? I've had it in the garage for a year and done about 200 miles in it.

That looks in cracking condition.

Sadly, 180 prices have seriously collapsed now, so I doubt you'd get anywhere near what it should be worth.

That is amazingly nice! A future classic for sure in that condition. You have a really special car there.
Price wise, there was one on ebay not so long back with the same milage as yours and from what I can remember it went for about £1500. How much do you want for it?

Prices have collapsed, however you may get an enthusiast who would be looking for a pristine low milage car.

Looks in amazing condition. Such a shame they aren't worth much money anymore.

Sadly condition and mileage mean nothing to joe public as far as a 180 goes which is valued at about £800 only but someone like me an enthusiast if i had the money would pay up to 2k for it (like i did on my old 180 paid a grand over book). sad thing is the equivalent ford etc is still worth 2-3k when our cars have died

I did pay over the odds, though technically, since I used the insurance payout for our previous 180, I ended up swapping the cars and gaining £5! We are using this one to go on holiday to Switzerland in the summer, so it will not remain a showroom museum piece!

Tis a nice example, someone who knows them and wants such an example would pay good money, otherwise it would only fetch the going rate as that is what non-believers would expect to pay.
