please help i need another nova fast!lol

[blue_peg_16v]

not in my world

but then people are paying silly money for clean shells now

[Spudly]

If you want to pay a grand for a 1.0ltr nova then yes its worth it, if you dont then no its not!

[Plug]

its only worth it if your willing to pay it tbh. i think 990 for a standard pov spec MK2 is abit ott imo

now if it was a Mk1 i may be tempted lol

All i can say is give it a dam good look over, even take a screwdriver the biggest you can find to scare the dealer lol
the description isnt all that great

[vaughanmc]

If it's as clean as it looks then I don't see why not

If it was £1500 or whatever I'd say no but just less than £1k seems reasonable aslong as it's as tidy as it looks

[SRimon]

Worth that all day long if its as clean as it looks!

[mayhem]

with the current exchange rate, i would..

with the old exchange rate... no way

lol

[napalm_27]

offer him £500 for it :thumb:

[bmw156]

does it have tax and test, i didnt look.

if so then thats like 400 quids worth of car. can you justify the other 500ish for a clean nova?

and IMO i wouldnt buy it :)
if you come to sell it. it has very little resell value being a base model. the only real selling points would be. no sunroof and solid shell for rallying.

[jakeufton]

thanks guys well im gnna have a good look tomoz and if it sound its mine!!!!!:d

[blue_peg_16v]

compaired to this its cheap

but if i had a grand for a nova id be looking for at least an sr

[jakeufton]

your looking more like 3 grand for a tidy sr lol what has happpened to the price of novas!!!

[vaughanmc]

Insanity asking nearly £3k for a standard Nova - Mind you that's the reason it's still on eBay...

[Damo]

Yea abit ott on the price IMO but if you want it its your choice mate me personally id hold out for one thats cheaper but as clean.:thumb:

Damo.

[jakeufton]

thanks damo but i need one soon cuz cant cope without a car lol

[bmw156]

3k for a nova.

you can get some serious speed for 3k.
1k on a bike - suzuki bandit or gsxr. plenty of speed
1k on a sensible nova.

and 1k for insurance

[blue_peg_16v]

your looking more like 3 grand for a tidy sr lol what has happpened to the price of novas!!!

your looking in the wrong places

cars novas on pistonheads ebay and autotrader are astronomicly priced imo

local free ads and papers are the places to look good value ones are still out there

[jakeufton]

are you saying its worth it bmw156?

[jakeufton]

probalby am my nova i just sold when i bought it was laser blue electirc windows 5 speed box 30000 miles the lot no rust! 400quid, it just doesnt happen any more tho

[Jack]

I'd offer the guy £100 saying "its only a fcuking sh!tbox Nova mate" lol

[bmw156]

nah not worth it imo

XE novas go around the 1k figure.

all depends what your after :)

[blue_peg_16v]

it does you just have to look harder as not as many around

this is only 100 more needs work but with work will be worth more

i look at it as a very good c20xe/c20let basis.

others look at it as just a daily driver.

my shell was 500 euro, and with all the work that got into it, i could have bought this one easely lol

[jakeufton]

ok cool, some yes some no some definatly no!!! im just gnna go up tomoz and have a good look round and if its mint as he says it is il go for it, cool?lol

[Jack]

i look at it as a very good c20xe/c20let basis.
The way prices for standard Novas are going, putting an XE/LET in would devalue it! lol

[jakeufton]

ill basically be making it look tidyer ive got some speedlines and lowering kit, i aint gnna 20let or 20xe it just wont a nice tidy relibable nova for a to b !

[DW-Nova]

I'd say it's worth six to seven hundred at the most, re the prices that people are putting on cars you have to remember that anybody can put any price on anything... the thing is if it sells or not, i could put my car on ebay for 5 grand when in reality its worth about three, anythings only worth as much as someone's prepared to pay !

[SR-Rally]

I brought silk violet 1.2 for 400 once with full mot and only 49,000 miles!! I don't think it's worth it to be honest especially as you don't need a brilliant shell as won't be competing etc in the car. Let us no how the viewing goes:thumb:

[boyle_46]

i appreachiate nova prices have risin dramatically over the last 2 years i wouldnt pay that for one , especially in todays econemy , hes too dear mate but fair play to you if u buy her . Nath

[jakeufton]

thanks for the heads up guys il let you no tonite if i buy it or not

[vaughanmc]

Well...Is it yours ? :)

[jakeufton]
