I could make my car look very very very similar to this - I wonder if mine would fetch over £2.5k lol lol

[16v Nova Kev]

[Southie]

No because you've not put a mk1 spoiler on yours lol

[let_nova]

this is very very clean looking though. maybe not wirth the price, one day it will though

[vaughanmc]

£1k depending on how desireable the interior is maybe a wee bit more

[Edd]

Its in Ireland, means its about 2k dearer than it should be lol

[Jack]

Someone will no doubt pay it.

[Damo]

Someone will no doubt pay it.

Agreed some one will shell out that amount instead of waiting.

Agreed though it looks very clean.

Damo.

[novalicous]

[vaughanmc]

I find the net is actually full of people using websites such as ebay or pistonheads yet havent found enthusiast sites like PNG, thus you see peeps paying over the odds for items that would be valued a little less on here, no offence Vaughan, but I think we mean the same thing? Ebay is a ripoff!

[vaughanmc]

No offence taken Craig, nothing you said there was incorrect

Folk who can ask £1500> for a standard Nova is insane unless it's a desireable model but even at that a clean original car would only fetch £2k max

I still see Nova's as the old £200 banger out of the paper but they seem to be soaring in 'value'

[SRimon]

**** this old arguement again...

Demand outstrips supply - prices rise, has happened with all cars since the 20's.

I dunno where you get your clean desireable models at £2k, if you find me a minter GTE, GSi, SR i'll have one of each at £2k, from what i've seen recently a good SR (Edd's was £2400 for example) is £2-2500, and a GTE/GSi (amggsi sold his Diamond Black GSi for £3500) £3500-£4000

Your £200 bangers are now ropey Corsa B's, Mk4 Fiestas etc....10 years ago these were Nova's and MK2 Fiestas.

Move on.

Quite the opposite IMO - they HAVE found sites like PNG, see "decent" Novas selling for big money, or people paying top dollar for clean examples, so therefore think theirs must be worth that. Or they chance it on the luck that the one buyer who is willing to spend that kinda cash on a Nova will come along and buy it. Only takes one willing buyer with a pocket full of green to see the advert and its done.

Its getting to the point where only the select few can afford, or are willing (replace that with another word of your choice lol) to spend such money on Novas. What happens when they either have their fill of £2k+ Novas, or discover better cars and move on? Will the prices drop?

[SRimon]

With discovering better cars, that only really happens in the infancy of the car IMO.

When your 17, I would say the majority of kids would look to Corsa C's now. IMO the Nova attracts the people like me and you Jack who had them at 17, and loved them and want more?!

I can't see prices dropping, not with novarally scrapping more and more lol, the Scrappage Scheme killed a few more, the rarer they get! However, Nova's seem to keep high dollar, unlike the MK3 Fiestas/205's of similar age.

[Jack]

I hesitate to use the word "love" when talking about Novas and me lol

[MK999]

I hesitate to use the word "love" when talking about Novas and me lol

Lying to yourself is not the answer, look at Lee and his sexuality problem!

[amggsi]

and a GTE/GSi (amggsi sold his Diamond Black GSi for £3500) £3500-£4000


It just recently sold again for 4,250 euro I think!lol
