This will be available again around the 1st July. Please message me if you would like to view the car. When it was for sale a few months ago I had two solid offers of £5200 which I did decide to accept, but due to bad timing and logistics the car never went, then I had to leave for work. One thing I've been pondering - is it worth me getting a gearbox service (Chester Transmissions) even though there's no faults with the gearbox, and is it worth me getting the minor bumper scuffs professionally painted prior to the sale, then up the price to cover the costs?

Hi Mike
If it's never had a gearbox service then I would certainly do that and run the car about a bit to make sure all is well - you'll definitely get the cost of that job back in piece of mind for the new owner. Paint bits - I'd be tempted to advertise 'warts and all' (not that there's much there!) as some prospective owners may not be worried if they intend to park in the street or put miles on the car. Those who are might prefer to have their own 'paint man' do the job. I guess it's a balance of hassle vs potential reward? A Pistonheads ad would probably be a good idea if you want to aim at the higher end of the value range, as you're more likely to find a buyer. I would certainly expect you to better the offers you had previously selling at this time of year

Yes, I'd agree with Adrian on that as a gearbox fluid change can be "kill or cure".
If I was paying good money for such a car I'd like to see evidence that had been done and the car used significantly afterwards to confirm it was still OK. If it's not done and fully bedded in it's a big risk that a well-informed new owner would (should) use to negotiate. I'd probably also agree with him on the paintwork, unless you're selling at a real premium - usually just commercial sellers. Did you mention a missing seat button? I'd DEFINITELY fix things like that before sale.

Congratulations, hopefully a forum member bought it? And if that's not the case you told the buyer all about this forum?
