its worth what you think its worth... honestly if your wanting to sell it soon you would be lucky to get between 2 and 3 k... but if you want to wait a while for the right person to come along you might get 4-5

i cant see the pics but i'm sure its a awesome car... GL with the sale

Thanks for the info. I have fixed up the link so you can see some photos of it.

To be perfectly honest, with respect to the current climate and the vast variety of cars that you can purchase for 6k these days with half the mileage (400,000km's is a lot for a chassis) and half the age, I think you can probably work out where you stand.

Check out the link below and compare your car to it... that'll gauge roughly your car's value. Debba had the car originally advertised for 7K and still cannot even budge it for 5K... and in my personal opinion, it's much, much cleaner than yours in it's current state.

Best of luck with the sale anyways.
