These conversations always make me laugh. For all you know, this car could be cosmetically perfect, be low miles, have a perfect service history etc. It has OEM wheels and if no other mods are made and it is in fine nick, it is possibly worth approaching what he is asking for. It is afterall, the original S2. Most people on here want ABY's from a tuning point of view but from a classic point of view, the 3b could be the one to get.
On the other hand, that interior, a possible poor record of work, the pics possibly making it look a thousand times better than it actually is etc etc mean that is worth half (if not less) than the asking price.
At the end of the day, it is worth what an interested party is prepared to pay.
I was offered over £7k for my 3b a year ago. Do I think it is worth that? Not really for me to decide, it wasn't my money. All I know is that if I sold it, I would have £7k in the bank but no means to have fun. It was a solid no after I decided that I could not replace the fun with the £7k
One thing is for sure, all the protestations of various parties on here merely satisfy peoples prerogative to have an opinion. That opinion is often based on no knowledge of the car being sold which makes it all quite laughable.
Owners of S2 want prices high, those who don't own but want to own, want the prices low. When they become owners, they will change their tune. It is hilarious.
If I had the money, I'd buy that right away. Beautiful. I have just bought a Renault 21 turbo (phase 1) which appears immaculate, paid over the odds, but so rare and in great nick, so what the hell!
