There's so much thread crapping goes in in the classified section on this forum, and it's against the rules but they're rarely imposed. It would have been more appriciate for Robbie to make his comments/offer advice via a PM.

The OP asked a question in in open forum. I replied in the same manner, giving my opinion as to what I thought was the likely value, and also (and this is an important bit) saying WHY I thought that was the case.
It was notable that nobody else chipped in with a figure - or to say whether they thought my figure was right or wrong, and (again, an important consideration) backing it up with a reasoned argument.
The post was not made with any malicious intent or 'thread crapping'. I'd have thought absolutely anyone reading it would have seen that quite clearly. If you (or the OP) read it in that way, or it came across like that to others, then I apologise. It was made as (I felt) a realistic price, and I actually spent a few minutes on AUC before making the post. Then taking off 10% for the 'risk and embuggrance' factor of having to deal with a private vendor, and not getting the warranty, CRA comeback, etc. that you'd get from an AUC sale.
I'll close on one other point, however. The OP has said, in his last post, that "I don't expect to get what its advertised for as people will always try and knock you down". But in the very first post, the car belongs to his boss.
Anyway. Good luck to the OP (or his boss) with the sale.
