Unhappy Selling 180's

Realisticly how much are they worth if The cambelts need doing.....

Well you need to knock £500.00 off realistically.

Bilbos car was low mileage with lots of mods and slight damage and that made £2500.00

Waks car that was an 05 plate with subtle mods and fsh and new clutch and belts done with 104kmiles got 2k.

The zs mk2 we had with replacement plenum, 40k miles and belts done but needing some tidying up made £1600.00

You just need to do the maths really from that !

Cheers G Good to come from someone in the know

i wouldnt let it go for anything less than 2.5k if i did sell it...

thing is would people even be interested in 180's when the Tax is so high and fuel is just ridiculous at the moment

Always said id keep it for ever but im sort of in the same situation as Ross here having the ZS sat theyre doing nothing when its worth money to me and fun to someone else

HMMMMMMM DILEMMA

I doubt very much you would get £2500.00 for it in its present state.

So best keeping it.

R8NMG will become famous soon enough
I'm sure it will worth more than £2.5k even touching £3k if not more. Those people are selling it on a cheap. If I'm selling and the cam belts not done I wouldn't deduct £500 off the asking price.

G
Its had New Seats in it and its had a damned good clean since you last saw it just needs the bumper spraying up.... id do it myself but not enough experience and would probs make it worse

If it wudnt get 2.5k then id have to keep it as id stand to loose nearly 5k on it in three years too much of a loss to me.....shame thats the only downfall of owning an old Rover nowadays (thats How much Times Have Changed I Used To go mad At people for calling it a Rover now i just dunna care )

******* Gordon Brown And his damned bankers.... if they hadnt fucked the damned country up id be still in my high paying job and none of this would be neccersary

best go get the garage swept out for its new friend for the next so many months

Trouble is tax and petrol will only go up and the car will get older. Also with the possiblity of the £400 not off the cards can see a rise in the number of 180s that will end up as track toys.

thats what i mean mate are people gonna think thats the case......

Id never track mine because 1) I dont think im a good enough driver to go onto a track and 2) why strip down such a nice car unless its written off

Spose i will just have to see how much the taxman decides to gove me back on payday......

Someone with the same dilemma as me. My 180's been sitting on my inlaws drive for past month and a half since tax ran out. Cant decide weather to try and sell it or keep it till its worthless.
