In my opinion, it's better to leave it 5 door or else, sell it and buy a 3 door.. still the front doors will remain small!

Well said. If you block up the rear doors, I can guarantee almost every person who sees it will ask "why didn't you just buy a 3 door?" lol

Becuase a 3 door doesn't have wind down rear windows :thumb:lol

NOV4_SPORT
01-01-07, 04:01 PM
not to keen on the plates, more show use than road, looks pretty nice apart fro the back box, sticks out to far , but still a smart 5 door nova.

Mike.
01-01-07, 06:00 PM

sri_boi
01-01-07, 07:57 PM

matt1chelski
21-02-07, 03:31 PM
At the end of the day, its a 15 year old nova, so i would say, maybe ?500 - ?750. I dont think any nova (some execptions) is worth much more than that these days tbh. not untill they become proper classics.

Matt

Nicest 5dr iv seen by the way, very tidy.
