Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: mirafioriman on July 20, 2008, 08:09:27 PM Now ended?
Seen this car for sale a few times before. Looks like a tidy example. Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: jasonh131 on July 20, 2008, 08:41:40 PM it nice but its orange again ::)
have they all turned orange jason Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: curt on July 21, 2008, 09:22:26 AM Over 2300 views on that car - and not one offer ??? ???
If I had the money would I buy it ??? If I had the money and went to view the car and all was well with it and it is a straight clean example is it worth ?5500 You can buy a lot of car for that money -So why has no one bought it Suggestions on a web card please -Im intrigued -you guys know more about real values than me Wait for the answers-If there are any :) Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: mirafioriman on July 21, 2008, 09:32:37 AM I guess there is a limited market for a 131 sport. When it is a high price that again limits the market to people who want a sport and can afford the asking price. I for example will admit that I can not afford to buy any car of this price.
As they say in the trade it only takes one interested person to sell a car, it's just finding them that can be hard! Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: sid131 on July 21, 2008, 05:41:24 PM well would like to know what has been done to it & backed up by restoration pics etc? my option was getting a cheaper example like i did & do all the work on it yourself & then you know what you got or if you cant do the work yourself at least take a mechanic & a body man to view the car first & then either buy or walk away, j cos as far as i can see advertisments are a lot of bulls**t talk about what has been done & probably done badly or not at all ,we all know how rotten with rust the 131 can be, would me a bit mad to spend that cash on it & then discover shes not all shes made out to be, has anyone on the forum viewed it? just my 2 cents worth
Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: eugene on July 21, 2008, 09:10:45 PM I have to agree with you Sid.This car has been on car&classic for a good few weeks and has been now taken off.About 2 years ago it was for sale on e-bay and it looked very dull and drab looking.The sills were gone and i presume re-placed or patched up since,however the car now looks immaculate i have to say,but as sid says to pay big money and afterwards find out that this is the car you never wanted.What i mean is rust coming out through the paint a year later.
Restoration pictures of any work carried out is a must,otherwise you could be buying a pig in a poke plus the cars history.This is only my opinion for what it's worth.Eugene ;D Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: eugene on July 31, 2008, 08:43:10 PM Take a close look at the sills on that car.I wonder what those plastic panels are hiding that are attached to the sills ::) ::).Eugene

Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: kev131 on August 02, 2008, 09:59:59 PM Why do you say it is on it's way to Ireland Nick? ???
Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: sid131 on August 02, 2008, 10:02:55 PM Cos Lee thats bidding on the black one told me that the owner has sold the orange one to an Irish guy, spoke to lee this morning, i just got new sills from him he has a lot of new old stock fiat parts.
Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: sid131 on August 02, 2008, 10:07:20 PM well Lee is going to take on the black 131 as a resto 3 year project & good luck to him great to see another 131 sport rescued fingers crossed.
Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: kev131 on August 03, 2008, 06:31:29 AM Do we know that the "Irish" buyer is living in Ireland..? ???
Love to know what it sold for in the end.? :) Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: eugene on August 12, 2008, 06:42:26 PM Just spoke to the seller and today the car left the UK for Northern Eire.He would'nt tell me what it sold for,so Sid watch out for that car as you are the nearst to it.
It was for sale for for quite some time.I would love to have bought it,but don't have the cash just now :'(. I have to have a 131 for Italy next May ;) :D.Eugene Title: Re: Sport for sale in the UK Post by: eugene on November 20, 2008, 09:57:18 PM Was wondering where that car went to.I knew it went to Northern Eire,but where there ??? ::)and then it turns up in the showroom section-Chris 131.
Chris,you kept very quiet about it ::).Best of luck with the car and hope you got it less than the asking price. Eugene |
