Mate of mine is a restauranteur on lean times as well, but he has a B7 RS4 which he can't afford to run. Hope the dining market turns around soon. Speak to Kim, he gets people asking him for cars.

Very sorry to hear that. Still, it's only a car. Living must come first :thumbs: I've been through some hard times, and it taught me that a nice car is very unimportant indeed!

Hi Calum,

Sorry to hear you're having to sell. Values are firming up a little on the C5 (morbid curiosity of mine keeps me looking at them) but with upgrades like that you may have a narrower market. For one person, it would be worth a premium, for another buyer, they would want a discount.

Again the Grizz service for some is a plus, but for others (read 'uneducated') the fact its not main dealer will be a minus.

£17k minumum I'd have thought - put it up at £19k and see? Wasn't there a guy in aberdeen (PScars) that was looking for one tail end of last year.

Best of luck :)
