Rick-Manta Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Early summer last year, exclusive coupes were selling for mega bucks. A couple went for £5k and they weren't even mint condition, just very good. You'd never get that now what with the economy troubles and worries but assuming there's a lot of MOT left and the manta has been properly serviced and maintained anything less than £2500 would be a bargain, although you may have to pay more it could be easily worth it.

bettyswallox Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you fancy a Hatch . Contact ' yellowhausenberg ' on here I recently saw the car and it could be a demon in the right hands as its 146 BHP ! Looked a mean-machine too.with some lovely wheels . As for Insurance ... Im with KGM based at Woodford E.18. Tho' they will not deal direct with the public. 'You need to go thru' a broker ' Fully Comp . 5000 mls per year agreed valuation All for £161.00 per year . I am nearly an old git , tho' so if your under 25 and no no-claims bonus , it'll no doubt be a hike higher...... Betty..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 well it has been looked after for the last 3 years by Simon at Suffolk County Manta's and after a few chats with him he comes across as a very straight guy but it's a fair bit more than 2500 Chances are it'd be worth a lot more than my guestimation and £2.5k as I said this would be a bargain reflecting on the current climate. As you've seen Mr P's profession you can be quite confident in the car itself. Although I doubt he'd agree with 'owt I have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
