Very neat car, purchaser was going to do the IMS bearing (don't know if he ever did), but certainly it's not a $74,000 car I wouldn't have thought. BTW I sold it for $47k about 14 months ago at a time I thought was more properly a $52k car then. He even left my stickers on, including the PFA one on the side window!! And 18" wheels, it's a pity the description is pretty basic, because it really is a nice car!! Happy to re-acquaint myself with the car should anyone want some more info, or fill you in on what I know. Jason E and Joz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say I’d be pretty miffed if I was the owner (no affiliation) and found this post. Why not just wish him the best of luck? Like I’m sure you’d hope the previous owner of your GT3 would do if you were to put it on the market a year or two into ownership for significantly more than he sold it to you.

You're probably right, I'm just jealous there wasn't a buyer out there who paid me the realistic price that I put on it when I tried to sell it. Every bugger wanted manuals then, probably same now, and still sitting at a nice premium to a Tip.......

Although we all genuinely do wish a seller good luck, we all just as similarly look after each other purchasing - and that's all this is. I wouldn't buy a house without jumping on realestate.com.au to see how much the house sold for last. I have certainly rung the previous owners of cars I've looked at to verify mileage, ownership details, and what the price was back in the day...

I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much ok your old car has now risen in value but your GT3 is one hell of a car and they have quickly gone out of sight in value.Given the choice I would have done the same deal you did at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller might be miffed but IMO justified comments for overpricing a car that should be near 20% reduced to be realistic. @TwoHeadsTas is a previous owner and I'd think good feedback for potential forum member interest, previous sale price is informative (we all know there has been movement) and most other comments are nothing but positive for the seller.

Has anyone seen it? Yes I looked at it late last year. Seemed a good example, interior slightly worn on leather seats and normal body condition for a car of that age. Wheels need a full refurb. Drove well. Made an offer (subject to PPI) which he didn't accept. which I was totally fine with. At the end of the day, it is only worth what someone is willing to pay and what the seller is willing to accept. Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I bought a C2 only two weeks ago and even I was like “oooh, what if…” That’ll probably work out to be cheap motoring in the long run for whoever bought it.
