Hi all,
So as some of you have seen I've posted a thread in the introductions about selling my exige and placing a deposit on a 211.
I've been to view the car today and I'm looking for advice on basically if I'm expecting too much.
My s2 was pretty much immaculate which I sold for high 20s, now I'm looking at a 36/7 k 2eleven should I still be expecting the same.
The car has quite bad crazing on the archs from impact damage ( 5/6 5 size spots) as there no dynamat on the underside and some ripples under the armourfend , including a very bad smart repair on the osf wheel arch and cut back decals to the armourfend meaning a hard edge of paint if I took the armourfend off.
So the outlook is a new decal kit and repaint. I have spoken to Jay about decals who said no problem but he would sooner put a new kit together due to the yellow fading potentially, causing a miss match front to rear which I understand.....
Looking at the above were talking around 2 k for decal kit and paint, plus the cost of the car.... Am I being stupid.
Would like some advice as I'm in catch 22 at the moment what to do next.
I know how much the car sold for 14 months ago with 1 less owner, no damaged paint, a full decal kit and 1200 miles less.
So are these cars apriciating and the dealers cashing in on that due to theow volume or am I right to quibble this..
