Whats This Rado Worth???

[Adz The Rat 0]

My mate is selling a Scooby and has been offered a Corrado and a crosser for a swap.

He not really into Dubs so wants to know if he could sell it easy and for how much.

This is the car he has been offered

I would not pay more than 800 quid for that one .

its not gonna be worth much mate, when you consider a few VRs are going for 1500 at the moment, they may not be in the best condition but..well.. you get my point!

Bear in mind the windscreen crack mentioned in the ad 'could' be a mot failure.... ...plus you've no idea what state the interior/seat bolsters etc are... 'average condition' could mean anything,

..also that paint colour is susceptible to fading which is not visible in the pics...

 

I would want to look at in the flesh, but given the value of valvers these days (painful as it is), and cost remedial work involved sorting out the visible/stated problems (scratch+sunroof+windscreen) you that would suggest an upper limit for spending on the car, before you are better of buying a different one..

 

Without resolving those faults, its likely to be tricky to get a decent price for it given the competition of other cars for sale...

 

I would only dream such a swap if your mate actually wants to own a rado, and wants that rado..... otherwise no, let the owner sell it and put the cash towards buying your scooby...(unless he's offering it v.v. cheap in return for your mate having the hassle of shifting it)..

Just re-read the advert- it does say the interiors in good nick...

 

......the car 'could' be the bargain of the century.....however think of it this way (Assuming your mate doesn't want to keep the rado)..

 

....is it going to be easier to shift a rado with certain faults (or repair the faults and then shift) than shifting your mates scooby?- if not then discount in the price needs to reflect the fact that your mate is effectively being 'paid in kind' to shift it on behalf of the current owner..

To give you perspective.. this sounds like this could be a better car (no crack windscreen etc)... £650-...(And I'm pretty sure its not the same one..)- just needs a bit of paint TLC...admittedly it doesn't have the engine work..still a bargain though..

The price of rado's is painful at the moment.

 

Still, all the more reason to keep mine :D

Yeah - less than a grand definately. The engine work is a plus but some random things missing (chin spoiler, some interior bits) isn't so good.

 

Looks fairly straight / honest though.
