I think thats cheap, i saw one the other day i think it was on the auto trader website, around Â£2500 - Â£3000 had less than 50,000 miles on the clock i think.

yeah you're looking at 4000 absolute top whack nowadays I reckon - that'd be a mint V-plate with sub 30k on the clock.

3k is pretty good for a sub 50k one I think! (as long as it's one of the last)

The cars in UK are pretty cheap compared to here. I bought my 8v with 56000km on the clock for around Â£4500 and there you buy a 16v with sub 50k for just Â£3000. That's awesome!

yep Â£4k is about max, cus Â£5k can stretch to a mk5 (very rare i think) 1.4 16v 100hp

that seems reasonable for a 16v with that sort of mileage.i wouldnt loose too much sleep over the mileage either providing its bin looked after.two yrs ago i paid Â£3700 for a pristine 98r 16v with 40k on it which on reflection may of bin a bit much but im happy with the car.

Colour coding the lower lip was the only mod I made to the front - the No' plate is a trick of the eye

Ebay - I think Â£25 from memory - just had to colour code it to make it look smaller (was in black)
