Post by: Martin_1962 on 27 April 2008, 21:08:42
He is getting a company car so is selling it - just wondering what it is worth as Rover has disappeared and there are a few Rover fans here. V reg and had HG done 2.5 years ago

About due again then ;D

Its 'bargain basement' prices, so all about condition.

My 2000 25 1.6 is worth about £1k, immaculate condition.

200, being previous model, even less.  I'm guessing if is average condition, just a few hundred.

Getting hard to maintain and insurance companies are fast going off them as even the slightest bump is a write off due to lack of parts.

Not finding trouble getting mechanical parts, but I imagine panels and mouldings not so easy to come by now.

Its the mouldings, grills and trim items that are very hard.

Even some of the plastic clips are tough to get.

And add to that Rovers desperate attempts to keep the look fresh by changing the trims every 6 months does not help.

I know interior mouldings are hard - been after a door handle for about a year.
