scooby dooby doo Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Yikes ❗ Have prices dropped that much 🤔 After my accident I used Caterham website for a source of prices and managed to get the insurance company to give me 16k for an R reg 1.6 K SS with similar spec to yours except the engine was std, it had Tillets, R500 wheels and an aeroscreen. (and minor differences like carbon front wings and 6 point belts but a std rad etc). Althought the engine was untouched the dampers/springs were new. So all in all it should have been pretty similar.... Or is the difference mainly due to the margin Caterham make when they sell s/h 🤔 HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 I just took a stab in the dark at the price ! Maybe it's too cheap and I should ask more ? I just need to sell it quick and thought that I'd price it at what I needed. Unfortunately I've had no interest in the car whatsoever which I really don't understand ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Nobody seems to be buying at the moment ☹️ Very glad I got mine sorted when I did (May) or I'd have been a fair bit out of pocket...

Petrolhead Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Glad to see its back to its former glory I take it you decided to paint it then? Had much interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 I just didn't have the time or inclination to look after bare ali. I think everyone that has a bare ali car must be either insane or have far too much time on their hands !! Had next to no interest which I'm attributing, correctly I hope, to it being too close to Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500 CYA Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Andy, Market is terrible at this time of year, try and hang on to it a bit longer if you can. To give you an idea I sold my 1.6SS with TB's, 1998 (S) less miles etc etc in Feb 2002 for £13k!! Come the spring I could have added £1500 Bugger.

R500 CYA Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Just trying to help, don't want someone to make the same mistake as me! I had to sell after being made redundant, but it still breaks my heart when i think how much I lost! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 6, 2002 Author Share Posted December 6, 2002 Nick, No worries .. I don't "need" to sell it in a hurry though it pains me to see the car sat around not being used ☹️ Though of course I am missing out on the bargains that seem to be around with people in the same boat desperately trying to sell the cars I may want !!
