Hi,

Advice needed.

Link here

http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=180882&an=0&page=1#Post180882

Thinking of selling the car which is thoroughly described in link above... with the differences listed below.

What are views on price please as given the items listed below? I just wouldn't know where to start.

72k miles
Centre console now black
Superspool although new smokes. Seals according to Rog

Bodywork and interior better than some of the £7k + pluses I have seen!! Car if anything is in better condition than when I purchased it (I can explain more if required).

Tax/insurance now just expired and I may SORN it as I have the LE insured instead. Car securely garaged off road.

MOT runs out end of Feb.

Extremely quick, very, very torquey car (307 Lb/Ft) that has embarrased a lot of exoticar on the road.

Currently awaiting approval from the forum moderators so I can post in for sale section. I just don't have the time for two Coops now due to work commitments and this one has to go...probably...maybe...depending on what people think.

I'm sure Jim will be impressed by that comment

No idea what you paid for it, but Jim had it up for £4900 so I'd think considering the smokey turbo you'd be looking at between £4500 and £4900.

Well, as you know, there is someone interested in buying it if you do sell.

He never contacted me and went quiet after the last comment on JimO's for sale thread.

No offence intended to JimO

I stripped everything down and cleaned/waxed to include all door shuts and hinges, behind front scuttle which was thick with 10 years of crud/leaves and treated/touched up paintwork where needed.

There were a couple of faded bits of paint which are now looking like new with a lot of elbow grease.

As already stated, I can honestly say the car is in better nick than £7k + coops I have seen. And I've seen a lot over the last few months!

Anyway, what do think I should put her up for?

I'd go with the previous post, £4500 sounds about right. New/recon turbo will be around £500 upwards to sort.

Lovely car though.

Thanks Ross, been quoted £200 for a full re-con.

Well, tax in the post now (6 months) and I still cannot post for sale yet despite emailing a request to allow me to do so!! I guess with the work that's going on in the back ground with the forum upgrades and what not...

Likely price will be around £4100.00 for a quick sale, sounds reasonable?

An absolute bargain? I reakon it'll go quickly

Wow, that's a steal mate. I'd snap your hands off for that much car for 4.1k if I was looking to buy one!

Have you got the replacement yet?

Cheers bezzer... Happy Birthday by the way. \:\)

Well it's either selling it, or I have a strange compulsion to strip it out and use it for track days only

Don't ask where that one came from, the wife will kill me!!

Sorry chaps, decided to keep and convert it for track days

Worth more to me like that than selling it for pennies, especially as I have just found out it is the second most powerful Superspool Coupé out there \:o

Cheers for the positive comments though, promise I will try not to stack it \:D

Yep 'fraid so, just got to book it in for a service and then will post her up for sale \:\(

I'm another who's joining the world of motorbikes and selling the Coop is the only way I can afford one. I'll get to ride far more often than I drive the Coop so looking forward to it to be honest \:\)

Well, I'm pretty much going with the selling her idea \:o

She's just had the full 72K service, new OE Fiat thermostat, replacement new front callipers, new handbrake cables and the Superspool rebuilt. 12 months MOT too

I have in the last two days removed the cat and had an un-silenced de-cat pipe put on and the sound is soooo nice \:#

I'm now thinking to spend some money on the LE and stop being silly having two coops.

What do you think and any idea of price? Forget my original price above as I have now spent over £900 on her to get everything A1.

I'm thinking £4900 for a 302 BHP car.

Aww don't be going all sensible on us \:D

I thought you were about to get a third, what with drooling over that red plus.

The sprinty would be the one to go round Bedford, and up the runway too, of course ;\)

Keep it. Strip it. Track it. \:\/
