Thanks for the replies, I don't have the time or the inclination to do it myself, too old for all that now, but screw paying anywhere near £1k to make my paint shiny :eek: I was hoping to find some young dude on here who likes polishing cars and does it on the side to earn extra cash.
Picking up a new (used) car at the weekend and want it detailed, anyone in the area? What sort of price am I looking at? (It's a Passat estate, in black).
VXR powered Cosra, looks to be well built, could have some fun with this..

This is one of the best places for prices, and they also do a 5 year guarantee for 10% of purchase price, so 5 years cover for £50 if you buy a £500 TV.

I put my ex's brothers MGB on a couple of weeks ago, a low start price, over 100 watchers, ended with no bids :S

Wayyy over priced imo, sure it was up for around £5k a couple of years ago..

This on the other hand, at £500 less, seems a very good buy, considering the mileage (that's assuming it's straight).

That black one looks awesome, not sure I'd have a 1600i over the S1 turbo though, and they seem to fetching almost as much for a good one. Although the 3i is not as good as either, I think it's better value at less than half the price (probably around £2k for a mint XR3i vs £5k+ for the 1600i).
Unfortnately it's not an original 1600i it's a lookalike, oh and they didn't have RS wheels, they look the same but are not exactly the same. The only difference I remember under the bonnet was the rocker cover.
^ This was my thoughts exactly, back to standard make it more saleable, and extra cash off the other bits, no brainer really. Also not keen on the colour, I like black, white, or sunburst, and maybe silver. I've owned several XR3's in the past, and been fancying one again for a while now but...
