Need more details! Mileage, owners, history, etc.... also hard to say without looking at it, or at least have pics.

Realistically you probably won't get that much

yeah thats why i said look at my signature.
its got the "My Featured Car" link.

Its only done a few thousand miles and its in mint condition with no rust at all. Its got MOT till April 2006. Runs well.
Ive got spare alloys with it

i put my nova on ebay for 250 with 11 months mot an tax and 35k miles. No one was even interested one bit. They want everything for nothing, so im going to crash it into a tree just to rob them the satisfaction of getting a decent cheap nova.

Jack
23-09-05, 12:02 PM
so im going to crash it into a tree
Nick will now buy it from you purely to save the tree :lol:

Philsutton
23-09-05, 01:05 PM
if i get a good enough run at it i can do over more than one tree

marsh_man
23-09-05, 02:19 PM
LOL phil, so you dont even think I will get over ?200 for it ? :(

well i sold my nova ?400 To the 1st person that came and viewed, had about 20 calls on it aswell so not bad :roll:

marsh_man
23-09-05, 03:02 PM
lee, what nova did you have and what condition was it in? did it have tax/mot ?

lee2004_
23-09-05, 03:09 PM
yeah it had tax and mot, 1.2 snap, nice conditon, full Sr interior. check my profile mate. yours is a nice car, shud get about 4 for it

marsh_man
23-09-05, 03:19 PM
hmmm thanks mate ;)
cool i will have to see what the novas are selling for on ebay and whether any mates would be interested in a quick sale unless someone on Novaload is reading this post and are quite interested.

if not, i will list this in the CARS FOR SALE category and then on ebay when im ready 8)

:lol:

I bought my 1.2 J reg luxe for ?300, it had basically 1 owner 48k , 12months Tax and MOT, FSH with no spares (it's had a cam belt and fan belt) It's in perfectly good condition, it has very very little rust but EVERY nova has rust somwehere.

I'd say that was a good price on my behalf, so i'd say your not going to get much more than ?300 considering the differences. on an old car an MOT is everything

and before someone says "it's brown" i don't bloody care it's what's under the bonnet that i care more about.

Jack
23-09-05, 10:25 PM
But its BROWN


:lol:

I think you'll be limited by the engine size tbh. Most people will just see it as a 1.0 and not want to give much for it. However, as they say "its worth what someone is willing to pay for it"

Nick
24-09-05, 12:49 AM
razorjam is correct on that little saying...

but realistically not much, same with everything really - mine isn't worth much either tbh

marsh_man
24-09-05, 12:57 AM
yeah ok thanks guys.
hopefully i will find a friend interested or a village idiot on ebay :)

i got my mint 1l spin for ?500 last year it had 11 months mot & tax. one pensioner owner, no rust at all and 13,000 geunine miles backed by vaux full service history.

marsh_man
26-09-05, 01:54 PM
yeah mine has less then 10k miles on the clock
... I think thats what the mechanic said before I owned it.

Unless he meant he had only done less then 10k miles whilst he had it.
I will check up though.

Ive already had an offer of ?400 :) from my cousin Barry. But you all know him as NovaLoadedAgain!

10k on the clock normally means 110k on a old car

10k on the clock normally means 110k on a old car

or played with clocks ;)

marsh_man
26-09-05, 09:10 PM
Nah to be honest, your best off speaking to NovaLoadedAgain about it.
He knows more about my own car then me LOL :D

Nick
26-09-05, 09:31 PM
no really, i doubt it'l be less than 10k lol

marsh_man
26-09-05, 10:27 PM
No honestly it is.
Ive just checked one of the MOT certificates.
In 2002 it had only 119 miles on it.
I will check the mileage on my latest certificate when im round my Nan's next cause ive left it at my nans.

Nick
26-09-05, 11:10 PM
119k ?

oh and by the way, the MOT is regardless, they just write down whatever is on the clocks....

So if someone wound the mileage to 0, and took it for the MOT they'd put 0 down.

if it was sub 10k mileage, it'd be immaculate under the bonnet.

In other words it had 100119 on it really but the clocks only read 5 digits. As if it would have done 119 miles in 12 years or so :lol:

marsh_man
27-09-05, 01:33 PM
LOL you lot are out to wind me up.
And like you said Nick - it is immaculate under the bonet!

Jack
27-09-05, 02:31 PM
LOL you lot are out to wind me up.
Yeah man then Nick did yo' mom in the back when you weren't lookin'

marsh_man
27-09-05, 02:48 PM
Ohhhh Nooooooo!
LOL :D Im going to hunt you down Nick! :evil:

No but seriously, the car is mint and I dont believe that the clocks have been tweaked with. I just think that many people amongst us are quite jealous :)

Philsutton
27-09-05, 04:13 PM

Yeah man then Nick did yo' mom in the back when you weren't lookin'
