Value of my modern classic?

Barry walsh

Hi All, a bit of advice needed i took on a modern classic last year i have an intrest in japanese cars and thought this would be a good one to start with.So I went halves with a friend as i have a shed and storage and he has time behind the spanners.Unfortunately i now have to sell her before i bring her to the summer shows. Can anyone advise me if this price is on the ball for her details are in the ad below to be honest its "what i have put in to her" but i know that has no bearing on what its worth all advice an comments welcome on the price ad etc link below:

to be honest it seems a little steep for what in most peoples eyes is just an imported corolla! looks in very good condition to be fair but I'd say you'd be lucky to get half that.

Yeah i know it would only be people who are into Japanese cars and old modern Japanese cars (not many) who would know what these are i kind of figured the shows would have people who are into stats figures and history of models/versions. As far as i am aware there are not many top spec ones left especially in Ireland

As already said, a lovely looking car, (something I would'nt mind myself!) but I'd say you will struggle to sell at that price.
It would only have limited appeal to a minority of buyers, and cash is tight these days.

Also, remove the cheap tax bit, as it appears disingenious to potential buyers. Any savvy buyer will know what the tax rate is.

Best of luck with your sale.:)

What's cheap about the tax. It's the standard rate for a 1.5 isn't it ?

Yep, the mention of cheap tax when it's not true would turn me off completely.
As Gyppo said, remove that & reduce the price

My Tuppence worth,

Cheers will remove the cheap tax bit thanks for all the suggestions
I have a 2.2 as my daily driver so its cheap tax for me but not cheap tax as in 48 per year as older classics forgot about that

Air con, 4 electric windows, foldable mirriors, alloy wheels, fibre optic parking poles.

What's this when it's at home? Or how does it work?

Barry walsh

They are powered off the front side lights fibre optic cable from them to the parking light see the on the right and left on the bonnet they glow green and show you the corners of the car at night they used to be just a pole on older Jap cars these are the same idea and still listed as parking poles even though they are not poles but lights

I'm just not a fan of JDM spec tin. I know there's lads out there that love it though.
What's parts availability like on that?

theirs 3 around the back from my house... im pretty sure i could have them for 50 or less a pop...

call it 10 per part ( everything bar servicing )

Barry walsh

Parts are not too bad most bits can be got from the motor factors some body panels and lights are JDM specific but can be shipped from america cheap enough tho @pdfile if they are Jap ones i might be intrested if you could pm chassis numbers to me i would appreciate it
