Sorry to anyone who doesn't like seeing these types of threads - i'm just at a bit of a loss at the moment with it. I've had my Mazda for a year and a bit now, and not done much with it. As an 18 year old with 4 cars and one parking space something has to budge. It's a 1988 Mazda 323 Javelin SX, it's done 125k but it's just had the head gasket done, it's got a beige interior and flat paint but otherwise a good condition car:    Now the question is, if I did the work and got it through an MOT; what would it be worth? I don't want to spend a load on it and not get my money back and I don't want it going for scrap price as I'd just kick the windows out and race it. Retro content in return:   _1.4_hatchback_04.jpg)  Thanks. |

eBay with no reserve  This will be locked shortly I imagine. Have you tried some of the Mazda classic forums? |

I haven't, and if the mods want to lock it, that's ok, I don't want to be in breach of any rules.
As stated though I don't want to put it on ebay without a reserve, as I don't want the risk of it going for scrap money.

Realistically, what does the car owe you? Sell it for that.

It owes me around £250, which is what i'd want back really

Any idea what it would need for an MOT? If it's fairly solid and had a year's MOT then I don't think you'd struggle to get the £250 back, maybe £300.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Without an MOT it's worth nothing more than a breakers yard will give you for it. With a years ticket and if the condition is as you say £300-400.

If you end up racing it i would take those headlights out first. Quite hard to find now! Try on 323gtx.co.uk bit quiet on there now but you never know.

£i'd say 3-400 with ticket maybe even £500 if you cleaned it up polished it and painted the wheels/hubcaps ect, as it sits it only worth the price of 'mixed light iron'
