Okay People some advice needed,

I have a Disco 2.5 TDI 7 seater, 1993 on a K plate, MOT last November and
passed with flying colours. It has chequerplated back bumper, gas suspension
all round, chequerplate on the bottom of the doors, waxoyled. New Drivers
seat, good tryres, cubby box. Stacks of work done on it, probably totalling
£3000 uk pounds int he last two years. It has a new gearbox and clutch - so
no banging on gearchange.

I am thinking it is time now to part with it and get a 110 CSW.

What sort of price should I be asking?

I paid £3500 for a stock 7 seater K reg TDIs a year ago. I think you may be
pushing it a bit at £5k, but then again, people pay what they pay. If it
looks nice you may get rather more from a "Ohh! Shiny!" type than from a
denizen of this group.

To which I reply while waiting for a chinese to be delivered:

Well we need the luggage space and my 4 kids (well the one who sits in the
back) are starting to complain about travelling sideways. It would be far
better to have six forward facing. Especially if in a few months time we do
drive through Africa. The extra load space would be good for holidays as
well.

I probably have not spent much less in a year on my 94 M plate 300Tdi 3 door
in a year, that's going to go into the local rag for £4500 ono, after I give
it a good valet.
I might also put it on eBay and see how it goes.You could try that and set
the reserve for the minimum you would accept for it - but you would have to
be realistic with the reserve.

On or around Sun, 09 Jan 2005 11:32:52 +0000, Mr.Nice.

there's no way you'd get 4 forward-facing seats in the back of CSW, or not
the ones I had. maybe there are smaller ones available.

I did hoverer make a successful 3-forward-facing bench for the back of the
disco.
