It's with heavy heart that I may have to place my almost standard 1999 T reg Fiat Coupe 20vt up for sale, It has been a labour of love(although not as much as others on here!), but circumstances will be changing for the worse (financially) in the next couple of months and I have bought a Peugeot 406Td hack to try and cut back on costs commuting to work. The plan was to keep the coop as a weekend car, but we are now a 3 car house hold and we can't afford to be at this time.

The problem is that I am at a loss on how much my car will be worth.

Brief history:-

I purchased this car in 2006 for £2300 from someone at work with 115,000 on the clock. bodywork was ok, however The bottom end started knocking. I managed to source a new engine from Rog(poweritalia) with a mere 600 miles on the clock. Which went in. around may that year + New belts and Clutch. Shortly after new brakes all round, Also oil cooler pipes replaced.

It also has a poweritalia catback exhaust fitted in 2007 to replace the origianal.

Then I sent my turbo which started smoking to Midland Turbo and had it refurbished. Also brand new suspension all round(Shocks/Track rod ends/ bushes/ droplinks) in 2008.

The car has had a full service at the beginning of each year feb/march at Poweritalia regardless of milage with an oil/filter change hafway through the year.

I have only done 40,000 since 2006.

These pictures need updating but give some idea, the new advert will have up to date pictures.

Clicky

So to summarise.

1.Standard Coop
2.Good engine
3.Average to good Bodywork.
4.Full Service History + Poweritalia looking after from when I purchased it.
5.Driven conservatively, only the occasional blast (with mechanical sympathy in mind!)

Would I be pushing the boat out to expect £1300?

Surely it should be worth more than that?

If I've read the description correctly, the engine has a total mileage of 40,600? That's not bad at all!

Okay, the turbo has been replaced along with the clutch, oil cooler pipes etc, so it must be worth closer to £2000, no?

Or am I missing something?

no probably worth about £1300. about right after reading the description

I think the following would be why I think it would be worth less:-

1. The cambelt was done 4 years ago so will be due soon.
2. Somebody has poured some brake fluid over a small part of the bonnet and it has run down onto the headlamp cover and part of the bumper. I have resprayed myself but you can certainly notice it.

Any potential buyer would use these as reductions?

If you are happy with £1300.00 .... why try to sell it for more and possibly prolong the sale?
