hes about 3 miles from me and im 17 so id obviously be restoring it untill i was lder, maybe a cheap car for the future, what would be a good price?

 

[Beef-Mc]

As long as it's still got the engine in it and it's sweet about £100.

 

[latza]

its got the full engine loom etc etc body, basicly everything in the pic, not worth more than 100?

 

[alanc1000]

hmm are you looking to keep it and do it up or rip bits off if for another project?

I'd agree, £100 maybe £200 max just in case you get stuck with it as a project you dont have time for and want to scrap it eventually.

 

[latza]

id keep it because i like them, ill have a word with him and see how much hed take, he wants 250

I would avoid that like the plague.

Even when you get that to a good condition cosmetically, you will be spending a fortune to get it right mechanically.

I was looking at R5 T's a while back and spoke to a couple of owners and these cars will need a good £5k per year spent on them if you wanna keep them on the road in A1 nick.

They are always going wrong :dead:

i wouldnt be driving it 4 years yet, and when i am it would only be the odd weekend here and there, i no a man who uses his on a daily basis, its standard and hasnt gone rong in 2 years that ive known him, hmm what to do

 

[Beef-Mc]

Offer the bloke 180 and if does want rid he'll takeit.

 

[latza]

think i will, how fast are these things? compared to modern day cars, ino they were fast back in the day but i dont no what they compare to now

STAY AWAY FROM THAT CAR!

the roof is caved in from the middle of the windsceen to the boot it's beyond repair, was posted up on rtoc with pics of the roof, even the most hardened 5 gtt enthusiast have walk away from it.

really???? I owned one for 2 - 3 years and including buying the car, insurance, tax, NOT and all mods and work I did it only worked out at £2200, put it all back to standard and sold original car and parts seperately and made £2400.

If you look after it it'll be fine, abuse it and just wind up the boost and you'll waste your money. Even parts for a full engine rebuild would cost less than £500. many of my friends have bought knackered 5's and put them back on the road.

I'd consider £250, electric blue is pertty rare now.

bad news

 

[alanc1000]

bloody hell looks like a heap in that pic, avoid

 

[chrisbturbo]

I agree to avoid that car, but R5 GTT's are ok if you know what to look for.
I Have owned my Raider for 19 years, i sorned it so i can fix it up, i used it every day but bought a 182 for daily transport.
Look at the RTOC website or Renault5gtturbo.com if you want to know about them, from people who know about them!
