He'll be lucky to get £60 for that piece of crap.
While I agree - to be fair to the person, they've probably put a lot of time into it. End of the day, if they like it, it's all that counts 
Not when it comes to selling it.
I agree.
I spended £200 on wishbones, front shocks (genuine Vx), and droplinks.
If you added the labour charge, then that would have put my old MIG at £1000 before you included the 4 brand new tyres and 2 sessions at WIM to get the geometry right (another £360 on top).
Add to that the basic crap (air-con regas, coolant change, oil/filter change, etc) and it would have easily hit £1800 at garage rates.
Do you really think I would have pulled £1800 for a January 2000 registered 2.5 CDX Estate?
I don't think so, which is why I sold it for what it owed me.....£1000
If matey thinks he's gonna get anywhere near the money he has spent on that god awful example, then I'd like the name & address of his dealer.........because he's obviously getting far better quality drugs than what I am (in which case, I want some).
