..someone would have to offer you to take your car off your hands, no questions asked?
Obviously if some lunatic offered £100k for it you'd run off into the sunset giggling like a child. But what's the bare minimum to force your hand into a sale?
Reason I ask.. someone offered my missus £2.5k one day, came back a week later then offered over £3k for the tank. At the time it drove like a sack of shit and I wouldn't want the "take it back, it's crap" routine. But sold as seen, and now the niggling problems have been sorted, I hate to say it but i'd snatch his hand off and go for a nice S13 or DC5...

Similar to me then. Think that's an amount that would see me able to get something half decent and keep it tidy. Only reason the tank's gone this way is it wasn't that good condition to start with and its now extremely low maintenance.

No questions asked absolutely no come backs, no nothing later on? Still wouldn't be worth more than £800 to anybody tbh...

So vlj if someone came to you and said "I have £800 here, I want your car" and no repercussions, you'd sell? Bear in mind unexpected downtime from having no car, having to find another etc?

You said the minimum you'd take, that is the minimum. I have another car I can use whenever I need to, so downtime isn't an issue for me. Obviously if someone offered me more I would also take it, but the question was what was the least you'd take!

Didn't know you had access to another car, fair enough. £800 seemed a little low for someone to just take it off your hands, that's all.

If it were in 2 weeks time, and the cooler, turbo & all other related shinies were on, I would be looking at a price nearer to £2k to cover the parts, time and effort put into it - your car has all of that & the uniqueness already included, Matt's Rallye is a white rallye so has its value etc, as it stands right now mines just a 160k old estate with 6 months T&T.

A bag of sand.
Then I can buy something similar again...
I'm not that attached to the 306, if someone gave me the going rate for it then I'd gladly sell it!
I was really attached to the MX5. Had a fortune in shiny bits on it and when it came to selling up I put it up for £3,500 - which is about £1,500 over the going rate.
It sold for £3,300 though, which just proved how good an example it was!

id probably want £800 for the estate seeing as its got full years T&T on it. £700ish for the 1.8 as its already been lowered properly and is a mint example.

I'd want about £4.6k for mine with the Turinis. I realise that's a lot more than the going rate, but it reflects the fact it's my only means of transport meaning I'd have to get another car lined up properly quickly. There are also a lot of shiny parts and a lot of Sam & Niall's time and effort gone into making it what it is now.
It also slightly takes into account a significant amount of money towards the car I'd want next...
EDIT:
Might have to revise that 'walk-away price'....!!!!

The vans that f*cked at the moment I'd probably take 1k for it I'd be happy to take £800 for the Coupe once I've MOT'd it and got some tyres TBH, A loss but no-one wants a 25mpg 3.0 V6 these days lol.

Mine at the moment. Id be looking at what I paid which is £900. Its still got plenty of t&t and ive sorted skme of the nigglies out. I personally think I paid a little too much fr the car looking at paintwork but its got a good engine on it at 100k all motorway.
After I've had smooth bonnet boot resprayed and the 17s on and other shinies id be looking at more like 1.7k for me. All the effect that I put into my cars its the east I could ask for. Specially with the coils and 17s and what not

I think 6k and I'd sell my supercharged 6. Though ive spent much much more over the 5-6 years ive had it and sooooo many hours...
Then go buy an Evo 6 like I want to in a couple of years anyway.
