    Arrow What's this calais worth?

    Hey all, i'm in desperate need of a car as the old one's shit itself, and came across this

    Just wondering if it's a fair price to ask for a N/A calais, assuming it's all in good nick.

    Thanks guys!

    Looks fair, has alot of work done too it by the seems, check for rust and any problems and offer him a little less. See how you go. Looks immac on the inside though.

    sounds interesting but will you be able to get any insurance? has he done any drag racing with it
    check everything including poorly done rust repairs around the windscreen, this metal usually rusts badly
