Ya know mate, not much surprises me these days. If it's a nice car (and it does look nice), I'd say someone might stump up close to the asking price, as loads of buyers just want quality over originality Agreed re: the confusing black and chrome accessories....

I said I'd seen it in person and its nicely done, not that I trawled through all the photos on the internet, or had crawled under it on photo inspection as part of virtually tyre kicking. Its nicely done, I'm sure if you're a starter at 280k you (or the whoever the end buyer is) can stump some new rotors for it, or negotiate it in the price. Caveat emptor, you've warned everyone!

This one is all you bro - AC goodness! And your favourite colour too! @ $280K i guess everything is negotiable - including the bits I do/don't like or worn rotors or whatever?

Peter M Posted 3February, 2022 Report Share Posted 3February, 2022 For that amount of money, I would expect the seller to: Disclose if it has had a LHD to RHD conversion and the original delivery location Have a description that is much less of a wank. If it's so great to drive why has he only driven it 300km in 2 years? 180kw from a standard 3.2, I don't think so, especially as it currently won't allow WOT because of a common 3.2 assembly oversight. "Every single aesthetic of the car was improved in some way" Oh, please! Have tidied up the sills. Jesus, they ain't photogenic on this one. I'd want to see photos of the underside. In fact I'd want it to be pretty clean. Use more appropriate sized headers Can't comment on the discs, my eyesight can't determine if they are at the wear limit, heavily scored or a just discoloured by the lack of use. Make his mind up on using chrome or black trim. Besides that, could be a nice car. I wish him well for the sale.

Agreed, I think with anything where you're putting $$$ into the purchase the best value you get is paying for a PPI by someone who knows the cars and what to look for. Extra cost up front can save drama down the line, or a sinking feeling when it turns up /or something goes wrong that you haven't bought what you thought.

LeeM Posted 3February, 2022 Report Share Posted 3February, 2022 I'd say the sills have that tar/stonechip treatment on them. The rotors do look a bit average, though as you say Pete, that could just be surface rust from lack of use like mine are. S'pose we won't know until someone else has a good look at it.

At this sort of $$$ ask - I would like some more information, not rhetoric. The rotors may or may not be fuched - but its clearly not "thoroughly sorted" or "every aesthetic improved" when a dumbo (me) on the internet can see at least a few issues with a cursory glance. It might still be a nice car - and the $$ wont matter to the right person if they like it / want it. As mentioned - a PPI will tell all. I am a keyboard hero, sorry for the butt hurt. It will sell.

tomo Posted 3February, 2022 Report Share Posted 3February, 2022 If you read the blurb they are storage ,maintenance, and enclosed transport service, Their is no mention of sales, Although I could have missed it with the passionate rhetoric within, And Sam is the man(founder).
