Sparky Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hhhmmm sounds like Slims car, isnt a silver SR is it?But yea that seem a bit steep even for the amount of mods I wouldnt pay more than 2k for itWelcome to UKSC by the way Quote
ste91 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 £2500 is indeed very expensive for a non turbo.You're looking at about £1500 for a good LOW MILAGE one.With 90k on the clock it's hardly worth a grand let alone two and a half.Fair enough if the mods are worth a fair bit but at 90k it's seen it's best days and is nearing the end of it's life.

BenV Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 welcome fella, you could probably get a glanza s for that kinda money bud Quote
Asad Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Its not the end of the world bud, shop around for a low mileage example....expect to pay anything from £0-£1500 max for a decent NA(mine was £1200 for a 1 owner 69k 5dr cd model). also 90k is alot its just asking for arebuild depending on servicing and possible high rpm abuse.

Ryno Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 welcome to the site mate! now go tell him where to stick his car! £2500 for a n/a with 90K........ might be worth you having a look on autotrader for some comparison, if it's because it's got a few mods then trust me when i say your better off not buying it from the manager of Halfrauds anyone got a link to this car? would love to see why he thinks it's worth that much!!!!

Si@Fiske Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 paid 2400 for my mint silver sr a year or so ago.. only had 25k on it though...i would say 2k is reasonable if it is mint mint! got to remember there was only 125 silver SR's in the world mate edit.. just re read sparky's post.. id say 2.5k is worth it with 5e-fhe and the teins!

Sparky Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 125?? Where did you get that from Si??More like a 1000 Quote

garbla900 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 hiya mate welcome what halfords is it u guys were on about? Quote
Guest Enzo Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 id get it for 2k, if its a mint as i think it is its worth that as its totaly sorted suspension, brakes, handling wise was just ripe for some conversion,if its not mint on the other hand then id offer less,does he want to brake the car up at all could you ask him??????
