so...just MOT'd, serviced and taxed (well I will tomorrow) my G reg S2 and been told that there's a lot of corrosion in the brake discs which will need doing pretty soon and cost a fair bit to sort out (or take someone who knows what they're doing a lot of time apparently). Also a couple of rust spots on either side under the door which needs sorting out. This is making me think I might actually sell it to someone mechanically minded (rather than me who has to pay people to fix this stuff for me!)
apparently there's nothing else wrong with it at the moment, the garage assures me - and I'd hope so, having spent a lot of money on it since buying it. Nothings been ignored or done on the cheap so I'm happy that I'm passing on a good example. Its been looked after by Elite MotorTune in Northampton since I've had it.
Interior is very good bar a couple of things - one small cigarette burn on the back seats, left hand speaker cover has lost its lugs but I still have it, steering wheel stitching is going in a couple of places and has a minor scratch in the middle.
Has a very nice Alpine IDA X100 stereo in it (with sound processor and bluetooth unit) at the moment that I can sell with the car (but I want a sensible price for it) or I can remove it and replace with the original stereo.
Other stuff - alarm has been replaced by a Toad, I have a brown leather boot cover, don't have full service history but I do have a LOT. I think thats about it worth mentioning
I've tried to be as honest as I can and will upload photos when I pick it up from the garage tomorrow.
No idea what would be a fair price - would appreciate advice. I've spent thousands on it since buying it about 18 months ago, and put about 5000 miles on it (its clocked 123000 if I recall correctly)
Possibly the most fun car I've ever owned, a pleasure to drive and great performance. Always been warmed up nicely since I've had it (and the previous owner assured me he did the same). Only reason I'm selling is that the work that needs doing sounds easy but timeconsuming and I think an enthusiast could do this much cheaper than me, who has neither the time or skill to do it myself. That and I fancy either a 911 or a Tuscan 6 .
I'm not certain I will sell it as I have a friend who might sort it out for me but would appreciate any advice/guidance on fair price. TBH if I do, I'd rather sell it for an ok price to someone who will look after it and fix the bits that need doing properly, than a higher price to someone who will drive it into the ground. Hence why I'm posting on here.
