cheesy 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Not 100% decided yet but might be saying farewell to me corrado. Now its been around for a while alot of people know it and as said its down to personal taste about the styling etc. But what do people think its worth ??? Can put a spec up if needed so people can give me better idea Cheers chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 1, 2005 Hard to say really.... you've put a tonne of work into it and it's pretty much an entirely bespoke car, so it might be easier if you tell us what figure you had in mind and we'll see if we agree with you :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford 0 Posted April 4, 2005 I can't imagine how much you must have spent on it, looks like a top quality job too. Why do you have to sell it, looks like you have a car that is just how you want it. Those door cards look awesome btw. Will be interesting to see the spec. although I imagine it would take days to compose! Would it be worth selling the ice off separately if you came to sell the car? Good luck with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted April 4, 2005 Think £8k is a tad optimistic- most of the best Storms for sale are less than that. This sort of car is almost impossible to put a price on. You've put a tremendous amount of work into it, and the mods look very well executed. Heavily modified cars rarely sell for anything like what they've cost to put together- just one of those things :( Put up the spec so we can get a better idea :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with it. Considering sale as i don't get to drive the car, Would use to go to work but wouldn't be of any benefit to the car on the state of roads i have to go down,and hours of night i finish with local wildlife. i have a daily diesel to get me back and forth currently Not just gonna let go for silly money, yeah ice is worth a fair bit of the car, considered exchanging the ice for cheaper brands.

randal 0 Posted April 4, 2005 I guess it depends on who's money it is. Personally I wouldn't part with 8K for a pre-modded rado, however I'm willing to bet there are 100's of people who would. I'm one of the semi-purists, I believe that standard or slightly breathed on is the way to go. Again, a matter of preference. Although It's not to my taste, It'd be a shame to see it go, after watching it come together over the year or so I've been here. Stick with it, you know it makes sense. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted April 4, 2005 considered breaking it....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted April 5, 2005 yeah you'll probably get more if you could put it back to some form of standard state and sell it as a G60... otherwise I'd say £6,500 maybe £7k is a good price to advertise at - although may take a while to sell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted April 5, 2005 bummer really as you put alot of time & effort into it.. as Furki said you thought of breaking it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossco 0 Posted April 5, 2005 You just did the conversion eh man? I know first hand that thats not a cheap thing to be doing, would it not have been better selling the car before converting?? Ive just done mine and i just want to drive it all the fucking time like, its lovely Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted April 5, 2005 break it., you;ll have to i reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted April 5, 2005 tried advertising it in fast car mag or something like that??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted April 5, 2005 Some one who reads FastCar doesn't deserve a 'Rado! (bit of a crass generalisation there, sorry!) Considering show season's coming up, I'd say take it to the shows and put it up for sale there - reckon you have more chance of selling it that way... It's always a shame to have to part with something that you've devoted not just money, but time to... Still, needs must when the devil drives, and all that... Good luck!
