How to value a Fiat Coupe 20VT? - 17/04/2019 16:55
A bereavement and downsize means that my car fleet needs downsizing to one. Unfortunately, that means my Sprint Blue 20VT is soon to be up for sale. How do you value such a car, the prices seem to vary wildly?
Suggestions?
The car is a Sprint Blue 20VT
Black Leather Interior.
2 Owners from new, just 57k Miles
Registered Jan 1997 R Plate
I’ve owned the car since September 2000 – Purchased second hand from main dealer Alan Gibson in Basingstoke with 22k Miles.
Whilst in my ownership the car has always been garaged.
From 2008 – 2017 the car was SORN’d and parked in the garage. (I needed a family car and the BMW dealership made an insulting trade in offer. The 2004 BMW is now scrap and the Fiat is still alive so that’s 1- 0 to Coupe!).
In 2017 the car was recommissioned with over 3K’s worth of work, most of that parts!
The engine was removed, all the belts, oil seals, water pump and clutch were replaced. As were the radiator, condenser, aircon pump, tyres, battery and a whole heap of other parts.
Apart from a Strut Brace (An original Sparco) the car is entirely standard, but remarkably spritely given its age.
Overall it's not a show car, but is completely genuine and original. Having looked round other Coupe’s in various workshops, this car is very solid underneath. and all the usual suspect points, are in really good condition for a car that’s 22 years old.
All the keys including the Red Service key and the Immobiliser siren keys are present. The car also has the original Clarion tape unit, along with the stereo remote and front panel case.
There’s a whole heap of history with the car including the original sales invoice, service history and Fiat sales brochures from the late 1990’s.
I’ll try to post some pictures after the Easter weekend, but any suggestions appreciated!
