yeah im not going to rip myself off, the car is up for £5500 i think, but not sure on mileage etc so ill have to go and see it, i think ill have to clean it weds morning, so ill go weds night after work if all goes well! really excited!

yeah. so should i not mention tha damage to it? damn, forgot it needs cleaning! i know i will get more selling it privately, but its all of the hastle of not having a car for a certain amount of time etc, ill see how much he offers me!

part chop would be easier though, gonna go to the garage on tuesday i think and see what they value my car at, and the condition of the one i want. the garage is like a small one run by one bloke, will thish affect how much they will part chop my car for?

thanks for all the info people, makes me feel better! i thought it would be worth way more than £3.5k to be honest, I've had it for about 9 months now, and the dealer i got it from wanted £6300 for it! never paid that like but...

what about cat c? i dont know the difference between them to be honest!

ill be part chopping it most probably, just easier really. thats if the car i want is ok mileage and condition wise! does the £4300 part-ex price sound about right?

right, my car is a 2004 1.2 16v dynamique in black 3 door, its on just about 22k parkers guide says: Original Price£9,145Franchised Dealer£6,045Independent Dealer£5,655Private Good £4,785Private Poor £3,785Part Exchange£4,305 but its been in an accident, not sure if its cat c or d, or...

dont like leather! not a massive fan of the front lights on the ph1's to be honest.

yeah they are rare, lad at work has got one and the difference between my 1.2 and his 1.6, to me, is immense!

yeah the 2.2's are supposed to be good. the 1.8's are good aswell though, a mate has an 's' plate one,love them! nearly bought one when i was 17!

the turbo? they did a 1.8, 2.2 and a 2.0 turbo.

well im only 18, and by the time i can insure one of them ill be able to insure some other cars which i would personally prefer, DC5 or focus rs as examples. ive got about 18 months until im fully qualified and thats when ill get a real car!

you sure?!i would have thought the clio would be faster personally, the clio had 110ish bhp, and the astra 125 i think, but the astra is bigger. might go and see the astra in a bit, the garage is literally 2 seconds from my house, see if its open! i wouldnt of thought it would be much on my...

well i thought about a 1.6 clio because they are only about £100 extra to insure when i renew over my 1.2. the astra is about £200-£250 more, and i suppose its a bigger car, maybe not as fast though but i love the looks. anyone got any views on the damage to my car?

what about swapping for a 1.8 SRi astra, 52 plate on 3 door, obviously ill be putting money on top depending how they value my car?

^^really, seems to me like the 04 plate 1.6's are a lot more expensive than a 1.2!

well its advertised for £4300 trade but im not sure of my car is cat c'd/cat d'd?? i got hit in the rear at some lights, had to have new rear bumper and the boot floor remoulded etc, what would that class it as, how much difference will this make to my cars value? if it helps there was £1300...

get a quote on the net, then ring them and say it was a non fault claim. £1k aint too bad mate, how old are you, what you thinking of buying, a puma still?

would i be stupid to swap my 2004 1.2 16v dynamique with 22k on the clock for a 2001 51 1.6 16v dynamique with 51k on the clock? i want something with a bit more poke!

ill be the first to ask then! how much on what car?!

im confused mate, what do you want to know? how much you should be paying?

i want to see some more pics of this in dayliught etc, cant make my mind up on it, i realy don't want to like it, but i think i do!!! post some more pics please!

thats cool mate, love the wheels!

not decided on the ride yet, i might put it back to standard, getting a bike is coming closer so might be better to put it to standard, get my policy back down to normal and save up!

o right, was looking inside, or trying, was going to give a quick beep! i love your car, seriosuly it is eactly how i would do my car, but i want a bike more so thats where the money is going i think!!

like it mate, mine will look exactly the same as that by the time i pull my finger out and possibly get some more springs! Steve, do you spray anything??as in colour coding the bump strips??do you do it on the side or work for a bodyshop?

s**t

i like your style!

just take it right to the limiter in as many gears as you can where ever safe and you'l be fine

lol, were you in the car?? i didnt notice anyone sat inside!
