Hi all
Am coming to sell my car and am totally stumped as to what to value it at, as it's not really the same as much else on the market. I'm not expecting much but I don't want to massively undersell it.
The car is a UK spec MX5 SE with 110k on the clock, which means it has ABS, leather seats, power steering, elec windows etc, and gets cheaper insurance than import models. However, it needs a new roof; the current one has been knifed twice and, while it is sewn up and is 90% watertight, it is not really ideal if it is out in the elements. The bodywork is generally good, bar a few carpark dings, a scuff on the bumper, a bit of peeling laquer on the bonnet, but one of the sills is starting to go, an has a hole in the outer layer about 1inch in diameter, which obviously needs attention. One wheel could probably do with a refurb.
It needs a new roof (£250ish) and a bit of welding work on that one sill and is then would be in good condition.
It has MOT and tax until the end of October.
I'm totally stumped as to what to put it up for. I paid £1300 3 years ago but that was with a good roof and virtually zero rust, so I don't expect anywhere near that. However, the car drives well and has been mechanically totally reliable for those three years and is still great fun to drive.
I suppose the easy answer is whack it on ebay zero reserve but I'd like to advertise it in as many places as possible so I simply don't know what to say? I have zero qualms letting it go for a few hundred quid so does £500 ONO sound reasonable?
Cheers for any help!
