As a part ex for my corsa b i took my old mk2 white 1.0 nova.Its only done 47k and has a slight bit of surface rust on the rear arch.The interior looks brand new.The plan was for me to keep it and drop a faster engine in but I was offered a Corsa sport,being very impatient I decided to sell the nova.As I have no idea on the value of it,I thought I would ask you guys as you probably know better than me!

Cheers

I didnt realise there was a question... It seemed more like you made a ststement & you DID part ex the Nova.

As for the Novas value, a sympathetic dealer may give you a hundred UK pounds or more.. In order to make a sale. Novas are worth diddly squat to the motor trade. Its only us deranged folk on here that get moist at the sight of them. Admittedly a clean one with tax & test is ripe for a new driver to destroy gaining experience. They are too old now by most 'dudes' standards.

Posting pics up would help us get a better idea, but its worth what anyone will pay, so ?100ish would be about right.

To anyone that isnt an enthusiast, its a cheap car (?100), to us enthusiasts its a possible donor shell, ?50-?400 depending on condition.

To get beyond ?200 its got to be mint.

well when it went for its mot last year the tester said it was the best example he had seen in years.just wish i had the money to put into it but after talking it over with my mechanic he didnt think it was worth it...any opinions?

all depends of what you want it to do,

i cant stress enough that we really need the pics first , as said to anybody thats not nova mad , it really isnt worth anything more then 100 no matter what the condition , hard to accpet but true ,

i paid 350 for my really mint 1.0 with 29k on it , i will be insured with an agreed value of 3k this year due to all the mods etc and respray ive had done lol
