Nice Mk3 - just like mine ?

[Robert]

I have been wanting a 131 Sport for 2 Years and nothing has come up / been offered at the right money. The right money being ?6-?9k.

Rob,

there were several interesting cars on offer in the last 2 years, on the forum and elsewhere, for example Jean's 131 - in the requested price range and presumably a very good car. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250968923453&category=9801&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 (still not sold I suppose).

Spending a little more money would have bought you Paul's NZ 131. In perfect state and with a powerful engine.

An orange Sport was available in Italy for 5000 Euros.

And so on, all during the last 2 years - just browse the "for sale and wanted" category.

However, if you choose to wait until someone approaches you with an individual, personal offer, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for ages. Why don't you take action if you are as keen as you say on buying a Sport?

I have contact with Rob as I have the right car for the right money ..........I think


Robert, the orange one was 6K, not 5K and when the car was as good as it looked it was a real bargain but between looking and being..........................

Bobby, keep the spoiler in the shelf and leave it clean

Now at ?3350 and a few new bidders  

[Rob 131]

C.A.C

You said ?5k and you may be correct  .

What would have been its list price new ?5,400 After discount ??.

And who said Fiat 131's depreciated rapidly.

Albert I will get back to you shortly regarding the 131. Just very busy with work ...... On a Saturday

And the Senior TT coverage is delayed. Day's plans turned upside down for me 

[Rob 131]

...... Also at ?3,350. The reserve is still not met 

I assume we will be getting some feedback from Kev today 

[parrish]

Maybe Kevins having a bid

[c.a.c131]

These S3 2000/TC Super's are rare now it's looks to be a clean 131 39 Bids and over 5 day's left  

[Rob 131]

Up to ?4,100 and the reserve is still not met  With 3 days to go

Shows Dave and mines estimate of ?4k was perhaps a bit on the low side.

Could make the ?5k

As someone on another forum said it's getting to the point now where you could buy a car from Europe and import it cheaper. As we have seen there is a good choice of 131s for sale around Europe and not many four doors have asking prices of more than this.

If it was RHD it would be a real rarity but it's LHD just like the cars for sale in Europe.

If it continues to rise it will soon be in the realm of Sport money.

[Rob 131]

Dave

RHD or LHD; I am not overly concerned. Would obviously prefer RHD.

This car looks like an extremely good example and therefore people will pay  more then I thought 

[chris131]

Maybe Kevins having a bid

Did you go see it kev? Any feedback?

[strada]

it makes you wonder just how much these two are worth although, i have always maintianed i do not want to know as i am not selling. it also makes you worry, as already stated with the escort.  if we are not careful, we (the enthusiasts) will be priced out of our own hobby.
  as it happens i have pretty much most of the parts required to convert this car to RHD in stock including a mint brown dashboard, i'll need some convincing to part with them though.

[Tas131]

Obviously more people are interested in the 4 door 131s over there than they are here. This will probably not sell at the price he wants.

[c.a.c131]

It make's me think what is my as new Super worth   I would never sell it. All I can say is its a good job I got into 131's when I did or it would have cost me alot more to buy them today   I always had the felling that on day soon 131 4 door would start to make good money  

[Rob 131]

Unless I am somewhat mistaken I don't think anyone is into 131's to make money.

I can't see there is much to be made.

For those that have a 131, any price increase is welcome. However, most on this forum would not want to part with their cars.

For those without 131's there appears to be cars available for under ?1,000 to over ?40,000. Effectively a 131 for all pockets.
