Your ad doesn't mention we did the cambelt kit, a good selling point :y

I wish I knew how much you were after though...  :-/

If you are going to do that then why not get a 7 seater, charge extra for 6 passengers. :y

humm what about the Signum? Would have thought that would be ideal, loads of space for passengers?

Good luck with the sale though  :y

Doesnt matter m8  :y I can charge the same for 5 passenger as a bus with 8 passengers  :y

'Bus' prices are for 5 to 8 passengers  :y

Plus its classed as an 'exec' bus.....which means if only one passenger i can charge 'exec' prices if exec vehicle is asked for  :y

Basically means fare and 1/2 for 'normal' bus bookings.....fare and 1/2 for 'exec' bookings  :y

Thought the Signum was only a 4 seater, unless you get the 5th (centre rear) seat option. Plenty of leg/headroom though in the rear.

Yeah that is another option.  I saw one up for sale which the seller said he had the centre rear seat option fitted with seat belt.

Project money isn't always mega low... my Elite turned out a "project" and that cost me £1300.....

I guess a potential buyer (I am mildly considering it as a business car!) needs to consider the cost of repairing.

1) Those snapped exhaust manifold studs - still not sure I could drill in situ and make a good job, so for a DIYer it's probs going to be a head off job, so pretty much a top end rebuild for a proper fix - during which is a good time to find that noisy lifter!

2) New Rad, and flushout out of the bodgeweld..

3) New ABS ECU and relevent setting up with Tech2

4) Exhaust's bandaged - so probably will want new sections soon.

So - market value, minus the cost of those jobs, I'd say is probably fair?  :)

Current plan if i get it fixed myself.....local garage is going to drill in situ, using a right angled air drill.....only a pilot hole, then tap a left handed thread.....with conversations i had with others with snapped studs on 4pots....the studs will probably come out when trying to tap them...if not a left threaded bolt and unscrew em  :y

But upto you, how you tackle the job if you become the owner of it  ;)

Id agree with the new rad, but a secondhand abs ecu or get the one fitted repaired......would be fine, in fact I will prolly get it repaired as it wouldnt need tech2 work then  :y

Exhaust I agree with.......tho if i end putting it on autotrader I wouldnt touch the rad or exhaust  ::)

PM me James, if you wanna make an offer  :y
