Hi everyone im new to here:) ive had a few novas in the past! but i am buying a 1.0 nova with 25,000 miles 3door in glacier white mk1 e reg. I have looked round it and i have found 1 bit of rut scab which is at the bottom of the drivers door underneath which you carnt see only if you look right under the door! but it has already been treated.All the boot floor,rear arches,front panel,sills and underneath are like brandnew and have never been fillered or painted! So i was just wondering is it worth the £900 i am paying for it??

it has a full years mot and 3 months road tax

please get back to me with your opinions people thanks:thumb:

ive had a c20xe nova expression mk2 which i sold around a year ago and i got rid of my mk2 1.2 which was a project but never finished!

And yeah it is immaculate just 1 tiny bit on it as i mensioned previously..

i know the value of cars as i deal in them every day but im not up on the novas tbh! dont get many going round here!

The way Nova prices have been recently,
If its a minter then it is worth £900 all day
BUT it has to be immaculate!!

Whats your plans with it anyways matty??

well in my eyes it is... was planning on white cesaros which i have! 60mm lowering kit and just keep it really clean and tidy.
Then after christmas i will look out for a decent c20xe engine or i might go for a nice 8v!
i would really like a nice interior for it too if one pops up!

yeah ok fella!

Keep thinking that!

So it would be worth 2 grand as a 1.2?

Worth every penny of £900!!

All i was saying is the >>>>IMO<<<<<
i would not pay £900 for a average 1.0
it would have to be immaculate!!
But that is my opinion!!!
And no i didn't say it would be worth 2K if it was a 1.2 :wtf:

No fella, sounded like you said it wasn't worth £900 as it was a 1.0, it's the shell doors bonnet boot and wings that are worth it IMHO!

Not bad price for coilovers I think :) You'll get what you pay for I suppose

Paid £90 for a -60mm GMAX kit 2nd hand a few years back and it's still going strong and makes the car look better than standard junk

Connor

If you got spare monies for the coilovers get them,
otherwise get a gmax kit or similar and then save up for some decent coilovers.
Matty if you want me to upload the pics send them to me via email.
I will PM you my email addy :thumb:
