I can find better as its a petrol & not diesel.

I'm not knocking your car, just the price, if you lowered it, you'd get a sale easy, but not for that sort of money as its not a desirable model.

You may get lucky, just depends if someone is after that particular model & has that sort of money burning a hole, either way best of luck :D

Why lower the price? if the value of BXs are on the rise its good for the rest of us and will keep a few off the scrappies.

Its a one owner, low mileage, mint example and worth every penny of what someones prepared to give.

Good luck with sale, shame you arent keeping it.

Just my opinion Tim, when was the last time you forked out that sort of wedge for 1600? It might be sitting on a drive for 12mths, whereas a couple of hundred quid less & it'll probably sell tomorrow. I thought his mum was needing the money from the sale to put towards her replacement car, so surely better to have the money quicker albeit slightly less, rather than no money at all??

Well, if you can prove the mileage then I reckon you might make in the region of your asking price. That 16i went for similar money last year, though it took a few months of trying, and was more desirable because of the fuel injection. Isle of White might be a problem.

Have you tried http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/? They have free classifieds.

No worries Mulley, at that price it will sort the "men from the boys" and expect will be bought by enthusiast, less than that it runs the risk of being a cheap runabout to be used and abused until it goes wrong.

The last 16 I bought was quite a bit less had done 20k more miles but was tatty in comparison, it isn't now but and that was 3 years ago, since when the BX has had a bit of a revival. Also it was only advertised through this forum which we know isn't the place to sell petrol BXs unless its a valver.

I would try ebay and the classic press for this one.

Thought i wasn't going mad, this is my assumption for a replacement car:

Its my mums car!!I had it looked at by the dealer today,I am very happy to buy it from her!or find her an automatic!!

Less than a grand for a car is considered cheap banger money especially if the mileage is genuine, it could still end up being cubed in 12mths time with an unsympathetic supposed enthusiast owner.

I'd agree that this place is probably not the best for selling bx's as most of us are a bit more realistic about what we are prepared to pay for a car especially as some parts are difficult & expensive to come by. Personally i've never been a fan of low mileage cars which i've aired before. I'll admit the pictures make it look in very nice shiny condition, but how are the mechanicals etc...who's to say that the hydraulic pump might seize due to ancient lhm having been in the car for 15+ years, you never know.

I agree, prices have risen & that's bit of a positive, but they are still being used as cheap runners & scrapped when a largish bill comes into play, most people won't want to spend £500 on a car that only cost £950, they'll either sell on or cube it.

I'd like to see how much a tzd turbo with that sort of mileage & condition would go for? Could we see it outstripping a valver in value?
