Yes it may be a rare colour with a few extra trim options, but it is still a 14 year old car..... and 3.5k buys a lot of motor these days.

I would pay about 2k if it is totally mint - it may be *worth* more but not if no one is going to pay more.
Now we're getting somewhere:as said here,since we're living in "great"times(financial sh*t and all)the market for these torbo'd(or anyother for that matter)is dead as a doornail.
The fact that these are 14 years old has little to do with it,before the crisis i know that these cars made a lot of money on the continent,but now as said no more.

Thats right on your doorstep - just needs a new gearbox - and you could make a few quid selling the 7 seat conversion if you didn't want it.
