I wouldn't personally say there worth that much mate...For what he has there...£1500 max as it's nothing special really

Maybe if it was an SR, GTE etc maybe nearer £2k

Sloth
12-08-10, 07:06 PM
ok, cool. out of interest what did it go for matt?

People on owners clubs will always sell them for way more than they are worth, it how it works (see make money)

Buy it from some old bird that its taken to her friends for 22 years and only has 15k on it and she'll want bugger all for it.

Edd
12-08-10, 07:34 PM
Matt you sold that minter then ?

Andy
12-08-10, 07:36 PM
I would never pay more than a grand for a nova,RS it aint!!
2500 would get you a tidy s2 with good history

Edd
12-08-10, 07:39 PM
Just seen the forsale thread.

Going by those prices I got a good deal when I got my new shell off Rich then lol

But seriously £2.5k for a standard mk2 ?
And £3.5k for a standard mk1 ?

Kids these days obviously have way to much spare cash. lol

Sloth
12-08-10, 07:41 PM
i dont think he got 2.5 k for it, he said double my offer which is 1800. 2.5k can get you a useable let nova.....

a lad who lives 2mins from me chaz_turbo on here,sold his beautifully built let gsi for 3100.Which was built to perfection.How the fukk can a standard nova without even so much as a rev counter or electric windows,warrant a price tag of 2500?! At the end of the day, the only good thing you are getting,and probably the only part that wont be binned is the shell lol lol

^^^^^^^ agreed £500-£700 for a nice standard model anything more go out and get an xe or let for over £2500

its all supply and demand.
novas are not being made any more.
and being scrapped weekly probably.
there are not many left/available like matts one.
that why i think people want high money.

on the other side, people charging 2k for a piece of 80's metal in the shape of a car, which wasnt the best in its day.

i would rather go out and pay 2k for a nice 205gti or a mk1 golf GTI because they are quick and have a bigger following IMO.

and if matt (anybody) asks 2.5k for his nova, and someone is silly enough to buy it for that price or close to, then the buyer is the fool IMO.

Sloth

stop bitching

Graeme
12-08-10, 07:56 PM
If I was starting from scratch I'd pay it no problem, do out think Keith's car would be as nice if it started out as a rusty mess, with loads of patches on the chassis legs and bog in every panel, obviously it looks super clean because it started out like that and he has added to it

Why not start with the best you can afford, I think its more stupid to put a fast/big engine in a bodged shell rather than pay over the odds for a minter

SRimon
12-08-10, 08:00 PM
Hmmm this is true. I've just sold my SR (40's, Magnex, Billies etc) for £2000 which I think is a fair price.

I'd pay £1000-1500 for a low miler minter merit though.

Sloth
12-08-10, 08:03 PM
devlin, im not bitching, its an honest question, as more and more seem to go for stupid cash. graeme i see your point, but tbh if you xe that fter spending 700 doing it, it wont be worth 3200. more like 2.5 originally asked, so your onto a loser. only way to make on it is to carcoon it for 10 years and then sell.

craig green
12-08-10, 08:07 PM
As always, they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay. If no one answers your ads, or calls about the sale, you drop your price. On the other hand, if you get loads of calls or hundreds of bids, people will no doubt climb over themselves to buy it & the seller would be silly to budge on price.

Personally I do think the values have gone a bit silly, but Novas are thin on the ground now, a scarce sight on the roads & it is encouraging for anyone looking to keep one for the future or as an investment.

Graeme

The asking price is a mere pittance of what will be spent.

End of, its worth it, because, A, how many minters are around? And B, he wants, I have. ETC:thumb:

Agreed, if you think of how much it can cost to fix up a well worn nova, plus all the hours involved, spending high in the first place to get a minter is really the more sensible choice. Not that I am sensible though - ploughing time and money into a Nova most would have scrapped.

For a serious build like keiths or bens, a few thousand is a drop in the ocean for a clean one that rust issues aren't going to be an issue. But it really would have to be like new for that money. The hassle it would take out of it would be worth it over buying a rough one. And at the end of the day, as others have said , no one was forced to pay X for it. Matt stuck up a price and made a deal. Fair play to him and good luck to whoever bought it!

Is the new owner going to let it or what's going to happen?

oh and martin i am facking good ;) not that that is the point, you claim people like keith pay x amount for a mint standard car, surly all he was concerned about is that there was no rot which a restored one would have. the only time it matters if it is standard and mint is if the person intends to show it like that, like matts ski

mint adjective

http://www.pngclub.com/external/images/pron-uk.pnghttp://www.pngclub.com/external/images/pron-us.png/mɪnt/ adj

describes stamps and coins, etc. which have not been used A collector would pay £500 for a mint copy.


in mint condition perfect, as if new CD player, in mint condition - £50.

it wasnt a question, merely my own opinion on the condition of your Nova. Like i said i think its VERY clean for an original unrestored car but there is far cleaner which obviously doesnt make yours mint if the word is used properly :)

Andy
12-08-10, 09:16 PM
i would describe it as a very good example of a clean and solid,car.

Mint=Un-used as per the dictionary post by me.

12-08-10, 09:17 PM
if you acid dip, and remove all rust, then repair properly, letting in fresh new metal, then that is as good as a "minter". burgo is right, restoring them to orig cond will be the way to go soon. in 5 years time how many will be ripping xe's out of gen gsi's for std 1.6 engines?

Thing is even at low prices like £500 - there are plenty of easily found, better specced, newer cars that can be bought. I do get confused by all the people who say for £2k I could have something much better than a Nova, as if a Nova is the only choice for cheap motoring and you don't buy one because you like them :confused:

Very good point.

I paid £3k for my shell with Sport ID I might ad.

New shell mk1
Acid dipped
Ade Culley paint job
New doors wings tailgate bonnet

So £2.5k plus for a mk2 nova, which we all know are not as good as mk1, that your going to need to pull apart to to fit a let ain't worth it, not a chance.

I don't think I'd ever want a Nova bad enough to spend more than £1k on one. It would be a case of "oh well, thats to expensive, I'll just build/buy something else instead".

Thats unless it was something special. And even then its a £1.5k tops.

New doors wings tailgate bonnet

So £2.5k plus for a mk2 nova, which we all know are not as good as mk1, that your going to need to pull apart to to fit a let ain't worth it, not a chance.

You have bought a shell, with an ID, does that make it a sport, or a rep?:confused:

Always thought it was a sport shelllol

This will be dipped, and ecoated, then sent to one of the best painters in the uk.

People need to stop worrying about what others do, and focus on there own cars more.

ive seen show winning paint come out of an aerosol can in a garage by a half blind 65 year old. ive seen 5k paint jobs that have looked like a 5 year old did it. anyone paying stupid cash is like the bell ends in soccer sport paying £130 for a pair of addidas trainers. your paying for a name, nothing more.

imo its swings and round abouts when it comes to how much for this and that at the end of the day its only worth what somebody will pay for it wether its done 500 miles or 5 million miles if you feel its worth alot of money then it would be worth more keeping it rather than selling it off as everybody has there own opinions on its value if it was me then it would be worth more keeping it to spend all your time arguing out the case of its value. as said but its only my opinion which is obviously diffrent from yours and everybody elses.

Loving this thread. A few phrazes spring to mind, these being:

1. Supply and demand.
2. There is a new owner for every car.

Back in '99 I bought a 53k 1 owner Ford Fiesta RS Turbo for 3k. After using it for 6 months or so I decided to have the bodywork restored to an extremely high standard. 2.5k later on a repaint I won a few shows and decided I fancied something a little quicker and the fact I had a car I didnt use due to condition etc etc. I advertised the car through the RSOC for 6k, local members of my club said your a dreaming at that price " You can buy a Cossi e for that" etc etc. Following a 4 week period Fosale the second person to view the car drove it away for 5.7K. Moral of the story if someone wants a particular car in a certain condition they will pay the money.

Said car...

The week after the sale I bought another FRST with no MOT and a funked turbo for £500 quid!

Said car after a new blower and fresh MOT

My plans for the car had completely changed and it was just sitting there ( I was soon to be made redundant not long after posting the ad also). I put what I thought was a realistic value on the car considering its age and mileage etc etc.

I was then told I was a dreamer etc etc by certain peeps off here and I had no chance. More than one of these peeps has recently advertised their cars which albeit in certain cases may be cleaner (Not all I may add though) and because they are regular posters and the current state of the market can justify there "Inflated" priceslol


Rant over;) lol

NB: One of the peeps in question is not Mr. Brown!:thumb:

No offence Matt, but just scanned your recent C20XE WIP thread... a rusty shell with a bucket seat. Hmmm, no skill, money....etc shall i go on?

Did you read it though?

Its not had alot spent, £3k maybe.

All the parts are in boxes etc.

Engines there and ready.

The shells almost done, just needs 2 outer arches (inners done) and the upper front pannel finishing.

So, realistically, in afew weekends of 15hour days, it could be done.

I think you will find people are just getting annoyed about you calling them keyboard warriors and insulting the site as a whole, if you dont like it on here then log out and go somewhere else, if you wanna stay then stop upsetting the masses, this is by far the most helpful and friendly site im registered on which is why its always my first port of call whenever im online, hell if you acted like this in the local community youd be slapped with an asbo for your trouble!

matt, to build a good nova you must use a minter shell, so by definition your failing?

my last thoughts:

hartley, go let it, make it a monster and enjoy. in many pees eyes you have been mugged, but we all have our reasons for stuff.

matt, well done on selling the emperor some new clothes ;) if i was you id read up a bit on stuff you comment on. and ffs get off here and go build a fecking nova.

as for me, im off to bed, i have the car ive wanted for 5 years, so im happy, in general not just on here.
