Is there an expected sale price or reserve?

any more specs?

Hi
Its a VTR spec .so electric front windows and remote locking ....cd/radio (NO a/c !!)
Price wise ??...who knows. the trade are scared stiff of all EV's ..so my rule is if its cheaper than a standard C1 on an 09 plate (circa £3800-4000) then this would look cheap !

These are not in any trade price guide , so its anyone's guess ...I always ask myself the question

"What would make me buy this? "

£6000 ....no

£5500...no

£4500 mmm may be

£4000 ohhh

£3500 oh has to be worth that easy !!

and then find out what ive bought ...even if it has to have £1000 thrown at it to get it working it shound be worth 3500 all day

Your thoughts ??

Update on todays sale

It did not sell at 4500...Ive asked the vendor what they are looking for ( i mentioned that ECC no longer trade!) and they say looking for 5500 !!

A bit to much if this car has faults ?

The gauge on the dash said 90%

It drove through the auction hall fine ...


So what do all you experts think ??

Is 5k a reasonable price ??
Its be re entered again next Tuesday the 19th at Measham BCA


Extra pictures of the C1 below

call me if you'd like me to bid for you ...I charge £100 fee ...on top of the auctions fee ( around 160 plus hammer price)

Ive trade plates and trade insurance so I can drive home no problem.

If anyone needs assistance with it I can provide support, I also have access to ECC spares. I have seen some newer ones at around £7k, it really depends upon how this one has been looked after and the state of its cells. £5.5K + fees is I feel a bit high, but fine if you really want one of these to keep. If off charge and unused for long the 12v battery wil go flat. Then the car will be dead wont drive wont charge etc, until the 12v is recharged, hopefully that wont happen before the next auction..
Driving it and seeing if it goes to limp mode is the only simple way of knowing what its like. But I guess thats not an option with the auction.
Its a punt. But if help is subsequently needed just give me a PM .
Glad to see it has its charge cable, just started sorting a sick Evie, its charge lead is a scrappy bit of 10amp possibly 6amp orange cable, more at home on a hedge cutter than an EV.

Hi Jonathan,

How much did it go for?

Cheers,

Mike

Just to tie up a loose end i bought it - what a lovely little car many thanks to Jonathan.

If anyone wants an Evie, I do get offered them. So let me know and I can pass on your details.

Could be one in Glastonbury and one in York available shortly.

Hey Mart - you managed to bag another bargain eh.

What do you think of this one. Is it any different to your other one? Do you notice much difference between the 25 cell car vs the 32 cell one? Be interesting to know your thoughts.

Quicker off the mark ,virtualy no regen, feels lighter , slow on the heater and tidy wiring , But i have already restricted the acceleration and top speed , turned up the regen and raised the restriction on low BDI. Lovely car !
