Possible Roffle of 2004 StreetKa - opinions please

[Sealtainn]

Right as the StreetKa has failed her MoT due to major rust issues and after a couple of comments on the thread, I was wondering if there would be enough interest in a roffle.

It currently stands me at £280 with purchase, new injector and MoT fee and it'll cost me £130 to get it shipped to Aberdeen and I'd like to see as much back as possible but would mean tickets would be £7 each.

What do people think?

[Split_Pin]

I thought that these were not as bad for rust as a regular Ka, wrong!

 

So that's a hypothetical sale price for £410? Can't see you getting your money back on that tbh, in light of the amount of work required. Perhaps if you reduced the ticket price a wee bit you could recover something?

 

Just my opinion, but it's looking like one of those 'take it on the chin and chalk it down to experience' types of cars.

 

Hope you recover something though chap.

Shipped to Aberdeen? Sounds like it could fit in a hoover bag.

do dis

[Timewaster]

I think for a roffle to work the "prize" needs to be an object of desire - even to us lot.

 

Sorry but I don't think you would get many takers for a tested Sport Ka.

 

A Rot Mot failure? I'm Oot!

Wot hairnet said: sell hardtop for £££ and sweep the rest into the nearest wheelie bin.

I think the collection costs would make it cheaper overall to just buy an MoTd one for £500...

[Aston Martin]

I'd love a streetka, I dont love the high tax and the dissolving chassis on them.

Has Kylie ever sat in it? That would make a difference...

i posted a similar thread yesterday about a possible raffle etc. 2 x cars for £5 and didn't get any joy/takers. so they are both being scrapped today. both 04 plates, and relative easy fixes, with no rust, so i doubt you will have any takers mate. i think a minimum of a mot is required, for people to want to buy into a raffle. good luck though.

[Cavcraft]

I don't know, BB. I reckon you could quite easily sell a raffle out for an out-of-test car on here, but obvs. it'd have to be something decent or popular.

Raffles have crashed and burnt here before, survival of the fittest etc I suppose.

[UltraWomble]

Sell the hard top, ROFFL the rest for a couple of quid a ticket, but otherwise its a scrapper with norralorra love on here.

 

Personally I'd be seeing what bits I can eBay off to the Fiesta brigade ( Engine? Wheels?) and cartakeback the rest, or even eBay for £49.

 

Dunno, thats just my two pennorth.

[UltraWomble]

Or, stick it in a dry barn for 10 to 20 years.

How much are you getting from the scrappers, £40 each?

 

There's your problem.

ye true mate, i think the actual make of the car is a major factor in it. im sure if mine would have been something a little less shite and boring, then it would have been ok. or even more shite, but different i suppose lol.

i still love the roffles though, beats giving the greedy bas****s at camelot my money.

I've been offered 140 for the both, from a  sort of mate, i will believe it when the readies are in my hand though.
