Whats it worth??

gversey

hi folks, was just wondering how much would a 94 Rover Metro with 2yrs nct and 3months tax be worth? Car in great condition, 54,000 miles.Any help would be grateful.

cantdecide

More than €400 (if it's truly in good order), less than €900???

Thanks

Don't go near carzone for a price on something that cheap. I'd check the buy and sell and the likes for a price. Anything with a 2 year nct has to be worth €600 maybe five hundred. Plus the fact that it's taxed. Has to be worth something.

The 3 months road tax on it alone is probably half the value of the car imo. The 2 years NCT is a big bonus though.

Have it checked out by a mechanic first, may well be a suitable candidate for bangernomics motoring.

Those Rover Metro's were good cars, although they do have an appetite for head gaskets (as do all Rover K-Series engines).

If you have any previous service/repair history documents, they'll definitely bring up the price by maybe a hundred or two.

it's only worth €200 to €300. they have no following this side of the Irish Sea.

I would have thought that too, yeah - nobody particularly likes rover in Ireland.. Especially considering the age, and the fact it's a metro..

A Starlet/106/Saxo/Micra of the same vintage will behave similarly, the Metro was well by its sell-by date by the time they rebadged it as the 111i though

They were better than their predecessor, the Austin Metro.

LOL! But anything with an nct has to be worth at least 500 yo yo's
