Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: longhamrob on November 08, 2010, 08:23:42 PM Although the ad says 1600tc the description shows 2000 engine which is probably correct as its a mk3. Cost me a fortune to get a car back from Malta. I wonder if it will make much more than it cost to get here?? Nice car to start with..... Im watching it.

Post by: strada on November 09, 2010, 05:28:40 PM just had a look at it. i would suggest the colour is not original, its a darker blue under the bonnet, also non uk s3 supers could be had with 1300 and 1600 twin cam engines. im certainly gonna watch it. current bidding is less than i recently paid just for shipping. from jersey.

I guess the owner got an offer he/she could not refuse ;) Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: mirafioriman on November 09, 2010, 07:42:28 PM OK so now it has been relisted ???
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 10, 2010, 05:33:09 PM Has anyone been to look at it in the flesh yet ??
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 131tm on November 11, 2010, 10:05:45 AM well guys I SAW IT in flesh ;D
owner was asking ?600 for it. 99% had a blown head gasket. Caught owner adding water in radiator when went to see it and is shaky when working(maybe water on plugs????). owner told me it is a 1600cc recently sprayed and needs another respray since paint is peeling off and a little rust is showing. it drives well apart the shaky bit but nice car in the end :). had parts with it and needs TLC was going to buy it but while driving it saw a Fiat 132 with a toyota diesel engine (popular convertion in Malta) and bought the 132 instread for ?400 ::) Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 131tm on November 11, 2010, 10:31:52 AM this is when it was for sale in Malta

Headgasket is not really a big problem as these engines are pretty simple to fix. If the shell is solid then repairs and repaints are pretty simple to get done but it all adds to the cost of the finished article.
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: jack1 on November 11, 2010, 07:35:27 PM is there someone on here bidding??????????

RELISTED ONLY 2 BIDDERS BATTLING IT OUT Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 11, 2010, 08:33:44 PM 131tm, a great story.
You went to look at a 131 4 door and ended up buying a 132 in better condition for 400 euro !. A good days work i would say ! 8) 8) So to sum up a decent shell but a dead engine so really not worth more than ?600 - ?700 as that is what it would ever reach (maximum) if you sold it on & thats even after fixing the engine or replacing it !! Like i said if you look at Classic car buyer and other classic papers/mags classified classic car prices are at an all time low in general just now so thats bad news for classic Fiat sellers i would say as we are a small group. Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: mirafioriman on November 11, 2010, 08:42:59 PM I would guess this will make about ?1500 or more but time will tell.
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 11, 2010, 09:31:19 PM The way things are just now i think ?1500 would be an absolute max & that is for a 4 door fan !!
Any other time it would make ?1500 - ?2500. Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 131tm on November 11, 2010, 09:45:54 PM 106usj
i ended selling the 132 for ?450 without engine and gearbox (gearbox fiat 5 speed) ;D and bought the 131 for ?250 which is a real bargain considering the condition. cant wait till Saturday morning to tow it to my garage. pics will follow........ ;) Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 11, 2010, 10:10:39 PM You are a bargin hunter 8) 131tm
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: jack1 on November 18, 2010, 07:04:35 PM its ended early again >:( utter time wasters out there to let it go so long even if its sold
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: mirafioriman on November 18, 2010, 07:34:26 PM According to the second link it is still running and up to ?1015
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: jack1 on November 18, 2010, 08:54:48 PM sorry ,read the wrong link ;)
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: stathe174 on November 18, 2010, 09:36:30 PM Sold for 1015...
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: mirafioriman on November 18, 2010, 09:37:58 PM If it really is rust free I would say it was a bit of a bargain. I wonder if anyone on here ended up with it?
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: stathe174 on November 18, 2010, 10:03:35 PM Not me though... ;)
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 19, 2010, 08:37:57 PM I was watching 2 motors both on at the same time for the same ammount of time.
A 1200cc VX Chevette 1980 and the 131 it sold for ?1015 and the VX went to ?1350 reserve not met so i would say the 131 if it was rust free was a bargin even if the head gasket was shot. Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: mirafioriman on November 19, 2010, 08:46:11 PM The seller said in the listing that amongst other things he had replaced the headgasket so it should run and drive well......
Title: Re: Interesting 131 4 door on ebay. Post by: 106usj on November 20, 2010, 09:13:16 PM Well i hope it was some one from here or across the water who got it and hope to see it on either forum soon !!
