A sad day

Post by raceman » Fri Mar 23, 2012 7:52 pm

The time has come for me to say good bye to the big green beasty :cry: moving abroad mean i can't keep her. much though i'd like to.

So my question is, I have a 52 plate Green (never seen another green one) saloon. It has a new set of Khumo's, and front anchors, timing belt and alternator done last year by 4 rings of Dartford, 86,000 miles, i bought it at 64,000 little service history before i got it, but serviced since i got it, Brand spanking new MOT.

Does anyone know anyone who would give her a good home, or would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what i should ask for her, and where is the best place to advertise her?

Many thanks

sadly Paul.

Interested to see some pics. I was gonna steer clear from a green one (although I've only ever seen 1 green Avant anyway), but I could be swayed.

I own a Scots Green Fiat Coupe which looks terrible in photos but looks (or atleast used to look) amazing up close.

Sad to hear £10k...mine is similar black instead of green I'm sitting at 81k with suspension now Bilstein PSS, alternator done and new disks all round.

If I was selling I'd advertise at £11,495...and be willing to take £11,000...maybe ambitious?...The rarity of Black and Green saloons must push these cars a tad higher than the silver suspects

i think the price has stopped falling on these now and maybe even a little increase in price.

then i saw this:

Yeah, but if you get it for just a few grand its practically disposable. Throw it away when it dies (unless it kills you first ;) )
