Personally I think it’s a good buy at $90k! I would agree .. unless it’s a turd conversion did anyone ever look at this ? BTW I like French cricket on a warm beach over Xmas hols . Anyone else?

I looked at this Lee and the other Targa I looked at was this one So when I saw the 47k pound targa in the UK I thought its probably in the ball park of the one you posted once landed, it looks as clean as the 189K unit so even at 20% discount to the local Aus delivery car im ahead by a lot (sorry been listening to Trump to much my vocab is going down the drain) https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C978519 Do I have doubts yeah i do but it would be hard to not consider the UK car as its presented in the ad. Might be snake oil salesmen but for me its worth a look even to tyre kick it. Not concerned about the reduced perceived value more concerned about the quality of the product overall LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if he did now (unless you spoke to him), given a mate spoke to him recently. He was priced high to start with, but having said that now seems to be in line with the covid market.

LeeM Posted 7January, 2021 Report Share Posted 7January, 2021 53 minutes ago, rminc said: Thanks for the feedback guys. What would you say is a fair price for it? Is $130k too much? Yes, it's too much. Backdating a forward dated car will not be cheap if you have a shop do it. Then if you think the car ''Runs like a dream" you can probably expect it doesn't, and it will cost another $30-50k to fix it. My uneducated guesstimate on price being a forward dated LHD import that has sat in (by the looks) a real barn covered in crap, and probably has rust somewhere would be anywhere between $30-50k. You can expect another $100k to get it back to original, then it might be worth $200k. At the moment without knowing the facts about the car or have an expert look at it, it would take a brave buyer to take a chance and drop even $100k on it. Saying that, the seller has a HUUUUGE price on it because he probably says "Knows what I have" and it will stay in that shanty/shed/ barn until someone is foolhardy enough to drop some serious coin and buy it. Here ya go, first time offered. If you, or anyone else would pay $130k for that, I'll offer to sell you/anyone my backdated factory RHD Hong Kong import 1978 SC right now for $120k. It's not perfect, but its rego'd, drives very well and a helluva lot better than this thing! Bugger it,...pay $125 and I'll have the paint and minimal bodywork required done, and even throw in a second set of rims! (at anyone: this is not a sale ad, it's just a bit of a laugh...unless you're prepared to part with $120k for it of course 😁) MFX and Bondiscwb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
