Honda Prelude BB8 UKDM H22A8 '00

It is the time to say goodbye to my RHD Lude. Had this car over a year. Originally bought it for spares, but ended up restoring it. Now I bought myself a new daily, because I got bored of having two very similar cars. Also, this Lude could never be my 'number 1' because I love my Euro Lude too much 
So, it is UK Spec W reg BB8 H22A8 4WS Vti, 130k miles, 11 months MOT, Nighthawk Black, Manual
Good bits:
Rust free arches. This was the first thing I've done when I bought the car, as I was frightened with a state of the aches on my LHD Lude. I just couldn't let the rust spread, so both rear panels were cleaned up from rust and resprayed. Still no signs of it coming back.
Cambelt and water pump changed at 125k miles. I have done it straight after I bought the car.
40mm Eibach lowering springs all round
18'' Konig wheels with legal tyres. Alloys could do with a refurb.
DC Sport Exhaust manifold
GReddy backbox
Secret Weapon air induction kit
ebay strut brace
OBX rad hoses
Aftermarket radiator (forgot the make)
KV85 Magnecor Ignition leads
Vauxhall Vectra front lip
4WS, ABS and all other electric bits are working - no fault codes on the dashboard
The car is tinted all around to the legal standard. Tinted rear and front lights (I think this type of tint is called Fly eyes, and is fully legal). Tinted front indicators.
Yellow fog lights
Vinyl carbon effect interior trims (not the genuine ones). Generlly very clean interior.
Apline head unit with AUX connection
Unknown make subwoofer
I'll take some pictures of interior and engine bay when I get a chance.
Now let's talk about bad bits:
Alternator tensioner is squeeking on a cold start. Calms down after 30 seconds.
Rear shock absorbers could do with replacement.
The windscreen is cracked. Somebody stole the wipers from the car, and then possibly smacked the metal thing against the window.
One of the exhaust connections is leaking. I was told that it takes a welding job to get it fixed. Downpipe, flexi pipe, and decat are only 1 year old.
Paintwork is in average condition. No major dents or deep scratches. Pretty much everything can be polished. The worst bit is a bonnet. It has got lots of stonechips, and a little rust bubble.
It wouldn't be expensive to get all this bad bits sorted, but I haven't got the time, the drive to work on the car I want to sell, and I need to spend some money on the car I just bought, so I don't really want to spend any money on fixing these issues. I'd rather sell it cheaper. I am asking for £800 ONO. The car has got 11 months MOT, and is taxed until the end of March. Also, it is insured until this Friday, so if you want to test drive it you better hurry up.

Really? How pathetic can you get?
