ASHP89 40 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hi. Just after advice as im not clued up on the vr6s and what they are worth. The car in question in a mk3 vr6 highline in mulberry 5door, 130000 miles, eveything works inside/ aircon and the heated seats. Got minor surface rust but been told there is no rust under the arches or sills. One wing is the worst but its all surface and not rotten? What do you guys think? Worst case what would you pay? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Probably around 2k - 2.5k. Check the likes of piston heads and our classifieds page for general idea on market prices. Check our buyers guide for things to check over before parting with any cash. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 £1500 would be my max and I'd want to be sure it was only surface and not rot. Don't take anyone's word for it pal. Get it on a ramp and check it yourself if your spending money. plastictrickery 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ASHP89 40 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Il get some pics up. The guy seems genuine..but they all do..hes done everything ive asked like sending videos of the car on COLD start up, videos of the inside and a full walk around of the car. Its got abit of rust on all wings and arches but nothing like ive seen, it still needs attention sooner than later. Its got 11 months MOT...the drivers side window doesnt work, suppose it a motor or something. Its standard but has got some horrid wheels on it but its personal preferance. Inside isnt too bad, with wear on the drivers bolster.. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Yes them window motors go all the time pal. The main concerns would be rot along the sills and floor. They always go on the rear floor pans and around the drainage bungs. Surface rust can be dealt with but rot hits the pocket hard. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ASHP89 40 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 The rear floor pan and bungs are they in the boot obviously? Or the rear foorwells? Ye i just want one cheap and cheerfull with ok body work and a decent engine, then i can make it my own then. There a couple ive got my eye on but 2 are miles away and one without mot but looks very tidy in dragon green..if i post links up of them all then i can get your opinion on which would be best?

ASHP89 40 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 This one sounds fairly genuine? Ye ive been speaking to him on facebook on the vr6oc page..its the rust that comcerns me..its not at a bad price but if i can get it cheaper an sort the it out and get a new skirt then its all good. The wheels need changing though. Not sure how much they are worth? Link to post Share on other sites
ASHP89 40 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 This one looks the nuts but apparently isn't? My friend has seen this one fairly close up and says it's not too clever! Ah right. Thanks for that..il swerve that then. The interior is nice, ive messaged him and hes not replied and on ebay hes only give me very little info when ive asked for it..so sounds like it is abit rough and he doesnt want to say Link to post Share on other sites
ASHP89 40 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 This ones an interesting colour, not sure about the actual condition of it though Ye its a marmite colour, not keen on it myself, would need putting back to origional colour which going by the struts was silver..but that got surface rust....i think if you want a very clean one then they are expensive regardless of milage. Il keep my options open as ive got an inport subaru sti as my toy and this would be a daily what i can just get in and drive VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
