1989 205 CJ
12 months MOT, 135k miles
I've had this since 2020 and am enjoying it in the current weather. However, it doesn't get much use and I need to get something* for 17 year old later this year.
It's is garaged when not in use, really decent overall condition except the hood which, although pretty watertight, is very scruffy. However, I only use it in good weather with the roof down and under the cover and reflecting that it lives in a garage, I haven't spent the money to replace it.
Adverts seem to place them around £1,000 for cars needing work and with tatty interiors right up to way more than I'd pay for a CJ i.e CTi prices of £5-6k +. My mechanic neighbour thinks it's worth about £3,500 (but doesn't want to buy it 😄) I'm hoping I could get around £2,500 for it. Does that seems about right?
* I can't believe a 205 CJ isn't suitable, it would have been a dream when I was his age. It's not though, it's old, tricky to insure for him and too fragile if the worst happens.
