The bloke wont break it Guy, ive had all the waffle about how much he paid for it & what itll weigh in for etc so i figure he`s after top money, he mentioned £350 which sounds a tad rich although i thought an elite diesel with a stick shift was a bit more desirable than an auto. :-/

£350 is a little high, although you'd make that selling a few parts and scrapping the shell ;)

It's worth whatever you're willing to pay... I'd probably offer £250 with a view to settling at £300

£250/£300 tops if you want the Elite seats etc. Once you've made one out of the two & sold/stashed any usable parts you should also make a few bob weighing the rest in. :y
