Rapierdave Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I saw that car at Billing 2010 and i thought mine was good but this one looked fantastic. I would imagine with the money that's been spent on it the seller will be looking for a lot more than the starting price of £995. Wonder what the reserve is? Problem is it's a Cav so worth probably 40% less than the equivalent Manta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtastic Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think this one is for sale for £3500 on the Cavette owners club forum. I might be wrong but it's looks a lovely car and not many X plate Cav's around. Please before we comment on the price think! the owner has the right to ask what they want for it If it's worth that money it's sells if not the owner keeps it. 40% less than a Manta, not sure on that? Is an X Plated Manta B Hatch worth more? I would not pay that difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I wonder what damage was caused by the scrap yards crane, makes me cringe just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) I second Daves comment. It was very clean. I'd be trying to offload about March, seems a strange time to advertise it now? Edited January 2, 2011 by stradacab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I second Daves comment. It was very clean. I'd be trying to offload about March, seems a strange time to advertise it now? The thorny old subject of what a cars "worth" comes up again. As James (stradacab) says the best time to sell would be the spring but in the sellers e/bay ad he says that he needs to sell due to using the car as his daily driver (what about the salt) & due to a growing family the car not being big enough. Just after Xmas is usually a bad time to sell a car but if he can get close to his asking price of £3500 then i for one would be pleased as i may need to sell my Cav sportshatch to fund the purchase of a Manta B. I think my Cavalier is "worth" about £1750 but realistically i'll be lucky to get any offers in excess of £1200 in the current economic climate. Like a lot of others i will be watching the e/bay ad for the next eight days. However at the risk of divorce i could end up soon with these two plus a Manta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
