How much to look for, for 00 1.6 avensis hatch

richardsheil

Friend is looking to sell off late father's Avensis.

Owned for years, don't know mileage but let's say 60,000 miles,

Hasn't run in a while but will get it running and a new Nct. Body work good, so I am told.

What say ye?

You may get scrap value for it if he has the papers.

Following, this should be good

Unless it's a reallyreally low mileage time warp condition car with history to back it up just scrap value really. Insurance is the biggest issue if you want to run a car between 10 and 20 years old these days in Ireland.

Thanks for input, car is in Dalkey, will be getting it this weekend to Clontarf and will take it from there.
We already have 4 carsðŸ˜

Has it been kept in a garage?
If so and the bodywork is good there may be a limited market especially with a new NCT.
Hard to say value without seeing.

Does classic insurance be much cheaper than say if the car is eighteen years old?
Is there a mileage limit per year for classic insurance policies?

I have a 00 corolla with campion insurance. €240 tpf&t, 5000 mile limit.
You must have another insurance policy on your other/main car.

Yes. I know someone who was quoted €1800 for a 00 Yaris (has commercial van as well) and €300 for a 99 Yaris on classic policy.

Meh, new battery n tyres probably perished if lying up. E300 to start with. Brakes seized etc, then whatever the nct throws up. E60 + the retest. Guts of e500.
Will u get e500 for it, I doubt it.
E190 on done deal where it sits, anything you get over 100 is a bonus. (U'll have earned it dealing with eejits on done deal!)
