didnt catch the sarcasm.....sorry

EDz has lowered the price to £6250 on FCCUK...bargain (not sarcasm)

Cappo, can I have a guess? But tell me if im right or close?

I've emailed Hedge regarding the Leather re-trimming, for those interested, here is his reply ...

"So, the leather. I got the name and number from Rog. It's a guy in N. Essex, somewhere. An old bloke, quite hilarious - albeit, mostly un-intentionally. He's a lovely guy.

He's meticulous but very slow. I don't think he rushed me 1.500 for it; think it was nearer 1.200 (cash, of course). He's getting on a bit and is old school, in every sense of that meaning. As long as you don't expect the car back in a couple of weeks, I'd recommend him without question.

He loves what he does and he LOVES to moan. A lot.......

Call Rog, he'll remember him. Becasuse I never had a receipt, I don't, sorry."

Basically, Call Rog .. he'll know

more pics ...

Cappo,

"Hedge aspect"?

Er, do what?

Cheers,
Hedge

Only cos you know it wouldn't sell

Its easy to say my car is worth £8k, maybe to you and Carl its worth £8k, but you find a buyer who is prepared to pay £8k! Its simple supply and demand and in this case supply far out strips any demand for a mint coop.

So in that respect I would say for this car, £5k tops, but I would be surprised if it went!

what a complete generalisation. ' I would be suprised if it went'

maybe you don't (or wouldn't) have 5-6k to spend on a Fiat Coupe, but not everyone is limited to the 'usual' budget of 3k which is bounded around on this forum for a mechnically good fiat coupe.

there are however (myself included) people, who wanted the best fiat coupe they could find (and you can include Edz LE in this as well) .. and that is what they're priced at. Maybe, they will take longer to sell but there are buyers out there .. how else do you think I bought the car off Hedge? The price that I bought the car at was actually advised by Rog as a minimum.

and guess what, it sold.

Its not really a generalisation, a generalisation would be me saying 'it won't sell, no coupes ever sell for £5k' I just said I would be surprised, and I now lay the gauntlet at your feet and say prove me wrong. I await your good news with anticipation!

I bought the car for 5k, there is no need for me to prove you wrong, I already have .. I bought the car only 5 months ago. Already Spent £750 on ice/alarm system, replacement rad, new hids etc + more to come.. Hedge could have upped the cost more than 5k, and I would have paid because *I* believe the car as a package is worth that.

If I really wanted a vinci grey and given how hard they are to find and in mint condition, I probably would have paid close to what Edz was looking for.

until I actually decide to sell the car, this is speculation until someone actually wants this car and buys it. And judging by a lot of people who know the car or have seen it appreciate it that it's in a very small minority of (near) mint fiat coupes.

the car would still sell for 5k.

in relation to what?

as in, no matter what else I do to the car, its top limit is 5k ???

Duncan - if you do decide to sell, price it £500.00 more than you want and get it up for sale. It's the only way to find out for sure what is going to happen with the price

The easiest way to find out how confident you are of its value is to put it on ebay for £1.

People will keep bidding if they think it is worth it. See if it gets up to 5-6k.

If this car is mint as it seems I would pay 4.5 tops and I KNOW I would never re-coup that money but I still would but I do like the ebay idea lol

And I think your the only person that thinks edz is worth its price...oh and Edz himself

Or use this thread to get views from people who are interested in buying your coup and start a bidding war!

i'll start the bidding at £3k.....

3.5

Ill pay £5k for it.

Unfortunately spending money on a car doesnt increase its value generally.

However, there may be someone willing to pay more based on being what it is, but finding that person wont be too easy.

Id suggest keeping it and enjoying it, M3's are common as muck

thats exactly what I've decided to do Rog. looking around it's easy to find well specced M3s.

maybe I'll look at selling in a year or so, I love the fact that this car just turns heads. The M3 is an itch I have to scratch at some point though.

we can have this debate again when the car is properly up for sale For now, this is closed.
