ED30 price advice please!
true-blue:
So am I getting the feeling that the price is decent then ?
From the Hi Res pic's the front of the car looks suprisingly good stone chip wise. I've told the bloke on the phone that I know what I'm looking for in terms of accident damage and he swears blind it's untouched. I guess if it's spent a lot of time on the motorway the potential for stone chips may actually be reduced compared to blatting round on A and B roads in traffic :confused:
Phil Mcavity:
Can you post the pics you have true-blue??
celica:
the only thing for me is £14k is getting into R32 money :smiley:
true-blue:
R32's are too thirsty for the available performance though.
Not hi res via photobucket, but this is the car.

i know mileage of cars don't matter much these days if serviced right, but it's the value i think about (and probably too much, probably doesn't help me being an accountant lol), anyway:
how many miles do you do in a year?
if say average of 12k a year.
a 57 estimate sept 07 register, it is now 1.5years old (ish) and so if it was average mileage car should be around 18k miles.
42k miles divide 12k average miles = equate to a 3.5 yr old car
if you did average miles for say 2 years, so ad an extra 24k miles. so will be a 3.5 year old car, it's going to have 66k miles.
this averages around near 19k mile/yr car. only thing for a car like this is people want low mileage.
depending on your budget, you can get similar spec for a couple more £k with average miles.
i had the option to buy a member car a 2005 gti with about 20k miles on it. only thing it required a big service, cambelt, waterpump, service, dsg service, new tyres etc. and so adding things up it was going to be an extra £1k to be spend soon ontop.
when are cambelts supposed to be changed? i would look to get it changed at the 50k mile mark, so something else to factor in.
