Valuation help please

[phorbiuz 36]

I've been contacted by the brother of Martin (tmrancho2) as he'd like some advice on selling his late brother's mk5 estate. I get the impression he's not a big classic car person and has decided the car isn't going to get used sat in his garage.

 

Below are the only pictures I've got at this time. Based purely on these pictures and seeing the P100 he did I've made a *big* presumption that the estate is done as nice, and looked what others are advertised for on the classic sites. It would help though if others more in the know and especially those of you that have seen it could give some input to help Steve out.

 

In the current climate I saw no reason not to aim good to start off with, but with offers considered, and go from there. I'm thinking he could start by asking £3995 on the specialist sites but I'm happy to be corrected.

 

 

 

 

 

I know he will also be looking to move on Martin's project Rancho and Ford Kuga.

 

Thanks.

I think its worth more imagine if the doctor got his hands on it.

Got to agree with Ste there - haven't seen the car in the flesh but remember the resto thread well, full nut and bolt rebuild.

if memory doesn t fool me, i think i´ve seen the car at Bromley :headscratch: years ago. as clean as i have it in memory i think it would be worth more, though it depends on if he wishes a quick sale. i guess it will take some time till the right buyer comes along, who´s prepared to value it´s pristone condition!

 

just my two cents! :cheers:

Not good on pricing but i saw it first time at hastings years ago when i first met martin

That car was as clean underneath as top side,if still as good well worth what your asking :playball:

Presuming it was done as well as the P100 would most likley make it one of the best of the model availiable , got to be at least £5,000 , maybe ask 5,999 or offer and see how things go ?

I'm no valuer either. .But that seems very low...now days for a good clean solid car like that ....

Well I have see the car on many occasions and would value it 5000-6000...it really is a lovely car and finished beautifully👍🏼

Thanks all, I'll pass it on.

 

As I've mentioned to people before I tend to do all my BSC time when I'm in work, but the downside is that pretty much all picture hosting is blocked. I've never seen the resto thread before because of this.

 

I'm glad Steve came to BSC for an opinion first too as he thought my £4k was too optimistic.

[littlenewt2067 33]

Worth more than 4K all day long...

[phorbiuz 36]

Thanks again everyone.

 

I've passed the details on and included a link to this thread which he should be able to read without logging in. I've also been PM'd privately about the car which I've passed on too.

However if hes happy to see it go to a new home for £4,000 then so be it - not everything is about money.

Wow, thats a breath of fresh air and something you don't read very often ... :wine:

I had a good look round this car just after he finished it. If it still in the same condition, got to be 5 grand plus all day long, maybe over six.
