Hi I've just been and looked at a Y plate 3.2 elite which is in great genuine condition with 85'000 on the clock full service history he wants £1700 . My only issue is the cambelt was done at 67'000 but done 5 years ago,I've read they should be 40'000 or 4 years what do you guys think? I've told him it should of been done really,not sure what to do she is a beauty.
-
Yep its every 40K miles or 4 years for cambelt kit changed on V6s :y
-
Belt needs doing - No question.
In terms of price - If it were pristine and fully loaded with Nav etc, then I'd still want a deal factoring in the cost of belt etc. :y
-
How much you talking 300 - 400?

and the rest if you get it done by a dealer :o see my thread in gen car chat.
definitely pay someone off here to d it but id say factor it in when nebotiating a price :y
-
negotiating even ::)
-
Is there anyone in Devon area that would be interested if I did make a purchase? £1500 I was thinking of offering him bit said I'd get back to him. :)
-
It would be unfair to suggest how much to knock off the price as I don't know how much you are willing to do/spend/try yourself.
I don't want to influence your decision on buying the car, if that makes sense?
All I will say is, if it were me, I'd be looking closer to £1k for a properly sorted Y plate 3.2. 85k Mileage is low, but mileage isn't a major concern when looking at an over decade old car.
As I've always done in the past, if your heart and head says deal, make a deal. If any doubt, walk away and something else will come up.

He's a proper boy he's owned it for 5-6 years obviuosly paid a lot of money and said 1900 to start with! Its a cracking car took it for a spin looked over all the paper work real genuine example im keen but 1500 is top money for me really
-
what you have to factor in is the cost of the belt kit,water pump, coolent,and as your down that way full service,thats plugs, oil n air filter, oil, fuel filter o and possibility of brake pads so you wave a grand cash tops,start at £850,explain the above in a nice way and start negotiations
thats my out look on this 8)

I think I would struggle to get it for 1500, I've got a mechanic said he will do the belt for me so price of a cambelt kit and bung him a few notes for his time.Other than that I kind of think its top end for a reason can't see any bad points .

As said, if your heart and head say yes, then do the deal! :y
-
Yes your right bud but that's top wack for me don't really want to be spending to much on her straight away and as he's a old boy he's not gona drop to much I think. I'll get couple quotes moro and get back to him let the haggling commence ! :)
-
Sorry, but unless it's a minter ( with nothing significant needing doing) then I think it's way to pricey.
-
Possible not of too much help but gives you a guide what can be done.
I negotiated hard on a 2003 .03 plate 3.2 with 115k fully documented,which was advertised in the region of your guys.I factored in camkit/water pump/back-front brakes and general touching up where needed and we shook hands at less than four figures which I was happy with.
Not saying all sellers will fold that easily but wad of crisp £20,s does focus the mind ;D
