Not really Ebay, but pistonheads.

Anyone else seen this one?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1273292.htm

Looks like a fair bit of money/time has gone into it.


Not sure if this has been posted before, sorry if it has or is in wrong section

Poor Orange Si is hurt. Started first time after sitting for 3 weeks and with virtually no petrol in it

this is always on ebay but never sells

shame it is a diesel

I wonder why it never sells. Probably asking more then someone wants to pay out for an old car.
Also by the sounds of it he is going to remove the engine, so he is just selling the shell at that price

"Car could also come as a project with turbo technics cvh engine good for 200+bhp This engine is fully rebuilt and only covered 1000-mile since been rebuilt full specs below ( please note this engine is not included with price above!!! ) as about £2600 worth of engine!!! "

he even started it at 99p before but obviously he bidded it up and won it back

plus 19" on a fez imagine the scrapping over the thousands off speed humps we have in this country

still on there

I'd probably drill my ears off by the time I'd done a 10 minute journey.

what does he expect for an overpriced shell. Just scrap it and sell the bits off if it really, really isn't selling. I'm sure he would have takers for parts of it.

Although being a diesel probably not going to get much for the engine separately either. Surely its got to be pretty sluggish considering it isn't a TD or anything.

So it is an ebay one

how long has he been trying to shift this?

months

i have seen it on there when i was looking for my first fez and that was in september

shame cause a enthusiast is not going to want that as it too modded (but i do like the wide arches on it) people want a clean standard car these days imo

Well he might get someone to buy it if he kept the engine in it. Although the market will be slim to none.
Without an engine he has no chance. Just noticed on the ebay pictures it doesn't have the electric pack on it.
Surely if you spend a vast amount of money on a car you would at least put the electric windows in it.

If Id been selling a car since September I'd just drop the price a lot.

Modding a car is a per person taste. I personally wouldn't touch it with a bargepole but I can appreciate that he has spent a lot of time on it.
Can you imagine the insurance for it when you read out the list of mods?
I think I'd get a thanks but no thanks from 99% of insurance companies

yea he might aswell leave engine in as someone is not really going to want to turbo it as all the extra bits are weighing it down

imo it not worth £2000

I'd agree with you on that point.

I really am not a fan of those headlights though. They are kind of creeping me out

when i saw the picture it kinda looked like a renault clio williams, maybe its just me but its the first thing that came to mind whn i saw it lol

must be the arches

Yeah they don't look like typical fiesta with massive tyres. It takes on a very different feel.
