    You car does look very nice....

    I would think £2,500-£3,000

    You could however sell all the bling and return to standard (engine bay, wheels & tyres, parcel shelf) still sell the car for £2500-£3,000 & then sell all the bling.

    agree, its madness, the standard cars seem to fetch the same and sometimes more than the modified

    has anyone ever sold a gt turbo for more than 4k?

    Standard car's are an up coming market, more people want a standard car... less standard cars about - parts can be hard to find and cost mega buck's....

    I know Duncain G sold his vag 5 for alot more than £4k to minty...

    Re: whats it worth

    i have been looking for anther gt for about 6 months now, and im being so picky, the last thing i want to do is buy a nice car for 2.5-3k then spend anther 2 on it getting it how i want it, for it to be worth what i payed.

    Im 34 now and have lost thousands on cars mainly on new, i had an evo 8 about 5 years ago and worked out one day that car cost me 1200 a month, after depreciation, petrol, ins, and the money i was spending modifying. Lesson learnt and would never do it agian.

    Funny about the price on the 5s compared to the rs turbo, but they have always fetched a premium especially the series 1s, same can be said about the wail tails.

    Re: whats it worth

    Thats why I always pick up cheaper cars. Just worked out I have purchased my 5 renault 5 GT Turbos for a total of £1870. Much more fun working on them, dont think I could cope with a mint one as I would be scared of driving it.

    i would pay 3.5 if the car was all of the above, but most are about half way there, so will buy a good car for 2-2.5 and finish the rest of myself.

    I have spoken to quite a few members now, richie, r5rich, philclubman and dave over on the 5 owners site. All with nice cars just me being overly picky.

    This car will be a keeper for me so got to be 100%

    Re: whats it worth

    Mine was just over 3.5k...if you know its right for you then you pay for what you want

    It's hard to put a price on really,if someone wants it that bad they will paywhat your asking for.

    I'd like to think i could get my money back for what i bought it for, so thats the way i'd value a my 5...unless your a trader and your wanting to make money
