They should be going up, there's less and less for sale. Alot of the bad ones seem to be dying so why not. 6k is alot for a vt, but hey! If he gets 50% of that he's done well!!

Argh, who would buy a car for 6k with a write-up as basic as that? Especially with a car like a coupe.

It is a dealer rather than an individual who might go to a little more effort.

There does seem to be another surge of Coupes being broken at the moment, or is it just my imagination confused

Two years ago around this time on Fleabay I counter 34 Coupés being either broken or sold as spares, repairs or project.
Resale prices were pretty poor across the board, LE and Plus were worth more but I was being given standard 20vt's with issues for the cost of the transport just to get them off the owners driveways.

A corner has now solidly been turned with the value of these cars, Duffy's set the change showing a restored Coupé could be sold for big money in comparison to the book values which were back then around £1500 for a Plus. Present numbers on the road will continue to drop each year, it's inevitable these cars will be sold for spares as it takes a passionate owner to keep piling funds into a car that might be suffering corrosion, poor paint or just not reliable because of age related issues.

They can cost a lot, but they do return something that I've never found in another car, and you can't put a price on that smile

Hello,

In Portugal the few we had are dead or dying fast.

The prices for a 16vt are from 2500euro (below average condition) and 8000euro (good condition).

I saved a 16vt from going to the junkyard on the last minute. 500euro but with engine with broken distribution and 4 years of strong portuguese sun on it. All rubbers damaged and wasted headlights and interiors. Instead of a donor car it was needing everything...

I'll post photos on another topic.

Regards
Antonio

Does this mean that coupes in hotter climes are scrapped not because of the normal UK problem ie RUST but other issues!

Swedish market's as usual just not working at all with italian cars, but looking at mobile.de, a decent one cost a lot. At least 7-8000euro.
Hang on to yer lefthookers!

i dont think id be willing to pay 6k for a standard coupe, definetly would a plus and LE, its also low miles, it may of not had the belts done for a while, theyd probably been on for a while, although this is guesswork as theres no write-up on it with all the important information.
A car with similar performance is the alfa gtv v6, they range from 3.5k-8k, and id still have the coupe. so i see no reason why the coupe cant go up in value, maybe not 6k for a standard VT, i think ill keep hold of the coupe for a while.

I think the car is well overpriced granted but I hear a few people talking about le or plus possibly being worth this kind of money.Is it just me thinks that thinks le and plus models are over rated compared to a standard coupe.Drive a standard coupe then drive a le I can tell you there is no difference I just dont see the big deal about le and plus models.If le models and plus models were produced in low numbers I could understand the premium payed on top of a standard coupe but there was a high amount of both models produced

I paid £890 for my 1997 20v with 68000 miles on the clock back in September. Granted it needs a wee bit of work, but only a few hundred quids worth and it runs well (now the clutch slave is sorted).
I can't see that dealer getting the asking price.

Hello,

In Portugal rust is not a problem that I notice on the Coupes.
My car was 4 years on the street and no rust. But everything burned and discoloured.

The market in Portugal is much more expensive than in UK. The prices of new cars are a lot higher and then it reflects on the used ones... because we have an ilegal used car import tax that prevents us from buyng cars on other countries.

regards
Antonio

And an average example, even needing correction of several non original parts:

Fiat Coupé 2.0 16vt
http://www.olx.pt/455258569

My 16vt project will cost a total of 3500euro. I think that's an acceptable value to save a nice car from the junkyard.
What do you think?

I think mine has cost that much or more over the last couple of years, Ant. It's about to get the thick end of a thousand quid in engine and gearbox rebuild bits and necessary safety repairs - rust, brake pipes...
