Reasonable price. whatcar valued your car at 1,660 private and with the VVT fault at least 300 has to come off taking the price to 1,360. Perfectly good price for that year mate.

i think you're really going to struggle selling with the vvt fault, anyone that doesnt actually know what the noise is or never heard it before will walk away within seconds

have you thought about fixing the vvt first?

Not necessarily. He could obtain a quote for the repair. Also if he chooses to, he could try and get away with not mentioning the VVT fault at all.

Yes the symptoms will be there, but depending on how long the car has had the fault it may be harder for the new owner to notice. Mine in the early stages was a bit tappety and performance at certain points was poor, but it was definitely something someone may not notice.
