sleazius Posted 3April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 3April, 2020 That's probably the non-writeoff one I saw listed for a few days at the same time as the white one. Can't afford to be too choosey if you're after one given how few entered the country. Supposedly only 3 x MY12 manuals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found one that is more of a barn state (needs lots and not driven in years) but no luck on price. I’ve been trying to figure out alternatives. I may have looked at that one. Happy to chat to your friend as I did a bunch of research before pulling the trigger. Pricing is difficult due to low number of transactions, most being confidential. As an aside, I got an offer on mine 12 hours after I bought it. I hadn’t even picked it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a black one and the owner was about 16 months into his pursuit and landed one for about 1/2 way between the WOVR asking and the current asking of 193k on that grey one. Owner of the black one got to know the car pretty well within the first week. Racked up circa 5000km. Got to be close to a local record in one of them I reckon.

Coastr Posted 3April, 2020 Report Share Posted 3April, 2020 thanks may take you up on that one day. Right now seems that as this thing goes on his appetite for lambos has declined in proportion to his business OBRUT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes me think it is the same one, it was also a MY12 and from memory $189k. kms seem about the same too. It wasn't online for more than a couple of days. I assume he noticed the white one was listed and pulled it. Especially given the price differential between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 5April, 2020 Report Share Posted 5April, 2020 Yeah, not the pick of the litter, but how’s the 356?! Or the 993 TT’s! They’ll be saying that about early GT3’s one day (totally biased comment). 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 5April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 5April, 2020 I use to go to all the bonhams / goodmans (before they merged) car auctions in the late 90s, early naughties. I had no money as I was a broke ass uni student when I first started going, but some of the cars I could have bought, it makes me sick to think about it now. Most of that 70s metal use to trade between $30-100k including all the extremely exy ($1M+) stuff now. Memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 6April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 6April, 2020 I noticed this one last night had dipped again - is it the right time to say I hate the feel of alcantara? I reckon it is just about the right level of ostentatious to get yourself lynched when the masses get sick of social distancing and forced isolation. That said that thing is so far up my alley it is ridiculous. edgy, DJM and hugh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there half the price in that ad. 24 minutes ago, wilson59 said: Is anyone into cabs ? Wish I was they are almost free . Not quite zero, but someone back then only valued them just above 55% of a coupe in terms of asking ( leave the k's travelled delta to one side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
