Long story cut and cropped into a new 1.
Been on ebay twice, once just before xmas for 5 days / now justed ended the other day for 10days.
Highest winning bidder had no feedback (And I had a message from somebody on Ebay saying he's a messer / bidded on his car / didnt cough up) so esencially I'm back to square one.
Heres the ebay ad FYI.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180454433994&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Im looking for £1400ono
Price right?
Wrong time to buy a car?
Or is it the green-ness?
Hmmmm...  
Thanks for your time people.

The thing is, you need to find someone with £1400 who really likes it. You may get lucky, but then again you may not. A car is only worth what someone is going to pay for it
It maybe worth putting it back to standard, and sell the bits.
I like it.

Oh well.
Could keep it...
But, Until then i'll keep firing her up once a week until she gets warm + give her a wash every now and then.
Too much hassle putting it back to standard and havn't got time to strip and sell for parts as I work 8-6 Monday - Friday and play football on Saturdays.

obviously you dont want to sell it that bad, so stop complaining then.

Putting it back to standard, and selling off the bits (4-2-1, Dbilas, wheels etc) will get you back £500+ and you could sell the car itself for just under a grand so would make more cash.

I third the flames theory. Get rid of that last pic, just looks like an abused example becasue of it. It defo doesn't add appeal.

3-4mm on the back
Brand spanking Yoko A359's? on the front...
Yes, Believe me or not (Not that it matters) the flame pic was a picture from 2008. Only does it after you come off the motorway.
That aside, still- Hav'nt got time / tools for putting it back to standard.
Going back on ebay in a week.
Thanks all.

If i was looking for a 1.6 sport it'd certainly be on my hitlist
