Vauxhall nova
Long story short I've been told I have to move it from the lock up where its been kept for the past 12 years , as I already have 2 cars I'm unable to keep it any where hence the reason for sale , it will be going on ebay and gum tree at the end of the month, I bought the car when I was 15 my 1st car so has a lot of sentimental value to me, I've never had any intentions in selling until now, I'm just curious what you guys think it would be worth ( roughly ) as I would not have a clue any more, I know some on ebay go ridiculous high and some go dirt cheap,
In my opinion its not the best out there how ever you could do A LOT worse , I always maintain my cars very well, the car has spent the part of 11 years not being used locked in a storage unit, despite going no where I always mot it and take it for a quick spin,
Good points......
90% respray in 2005
Xe conversion last year , only did 4k since,
Alloys
lowered 60mm all round
Clear lights
Mondeo spoiler
Side skirts
Sportex exhaust
Eye brows
De badged
Bad bits ( every car has them )
Suspected sticky thermosat. ( Fan is now bridged to toggle switch )
Blue smoke on start up untill the automatic choke drops back to idling speed ( roughly 1 min )
Heater motor only blows cold air
Just trying to be honest the smoke only sounds like valve stem oil seals, which is apparently quite common on ecotec engines after 70k the engine was out of a astra sport which had 76k on the clocks , at the time of swap I had the cambelt kit replaced and water pump , spark plugs, I have every mot from new for the previous engine,
It currently has mot untill march 2012 only advisary was rear tyre,
The reason its had very little use over the years is its not praticial as I have kids - dogs - and roof rack for the bikes , that's why I have an estate,
I will upload some picture so you can have a better idea what I'm woffling on about all feed back appreciated thank you
