Just noticed this too, and it also doesn't have full service history, so i'd see if it all checks out (low mileage)
it's sad!Not a car i'd be buying with a lack of service history and belts 2 years overdue, who says it won't break on the new owners drive home? (playing devils advocate)
IMO, its either got to cheap enough to warrent the risk or needs some money spending to bring it up to standard.

a 8 year old car , no belts done , and has had one service , wouldnt touch it myself , i service my car's twice a year and definately wouldn't service them once every 7-8 years , if i were looking to buy i would think its been clock'd as the service is almost non existent
Prices havent dropped 'THAT' much- just the high milers & poor colours-
THis car has a lot going for it- Liquid yellow, low miles & low owners- Sadly though with something like this the Service history needs to underpin the miles & support the overall value-
Plus every tom dick & harry wants the cup packs-
Its a nice car, but devalued because of the SH & no belts & non cup packed- sadly satnav ads no value- if anything its something thats waiting to breakdown as they all break in the end- just the steering wheels & exhaust....

So realistically how much should I put it up for. Bear in mind it's ip on PH and AT so not everybody I need to sell it quick but don't want to lose out on some reddies!
On another note people put to much on service history, yes it's good to buy a car with FSH but no SH doesn't necessarily mean no servicing. On my past cars I did everything myself. Also a chap I know is a mobile mechanic and he sold his old 1 series with a fully stamped up book when he didn't service it as regularly as it said it had!! Not behavior I condone but I think people put too much faith in stamps! Never be to sure what your buying in this day and age. :-(

Never believe in stamps alone!
Every stamp should have a printed, detailed receipt with the breakdown of work supporting it.
On another forum I sold a car with no history. The buyer then tarted up what was a good car, but falsified the history with additional stamps in the book and mickey mouse receipts produced on his computer. The stamp was a main dealer Fiat stamp, but the receipts weren't of course.
He had it on ebay and Pistonheads, he got reported! The ad vanished but no doubt he sold it one way or the other.
Service history IS important but I agree, not so crucial on a car this age tbh. A car may have been specialist or main dealer serviced all it's life, then thrashed to death from cold every day between services! I gauge cars on condition, history if it's there, and receipts, the seller is also a good indication, a bonus if that owner has had it a while too as if you think he's abused it, you know it's been abused for some time!
Anyway, I'm moving off track! Considering the condition if it's correct, the rarity of the (marmite) colour etc, I reckon your close to the real value with the belt and history issue in mind.
Best of luck with the sale.
