hugh Posted 13April, 2018 Report Share Posted 13April, 2018 Yeh, its a shame that the "extremeness" hasn't been followed through with the interior. Doesn't really scream "RACE CAR" like the exterior. ANF, micknine01 and edgy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James P Posted 13April, 2018 Report Share Posted 13April, 2018 This car was offered to me for significantly less a few months ago, my comments were its junk with all the ad on bits & only worth $75k max due to it being a track only car.. strip it out & track it thats all you can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 13April, 2018 Report Share Posted 13April, 2018 you could buy 2 Cup cars for that money and go racing with your wife or buy a proper Aus delivered CS that you can actually use for 50k less. And either way you won't look like a complete tool in an ugly green POS with touring seats in a track car. i was very impressed that they specifically noted it has standard rubber front spoiler and standard brake calipers....very important considerations ??

Go back to page 1 of this thread @edgy pegged values at Jan 2015. i remember those prices, lots to choose from: So these are my thoughts on transaction values (lets not confuse with asking prices, some owners are deluded) Fair car - $80-85k = Signs of track work, perhaps some questionable history, track focused mods installed etc Good honest car - $85-95k = Well used, well loved, usual wear & tear for its age, maybe some light track duties low number of owners and good history Excellent example - $95-105K = Presents excellent, low mileage, no track work, un modified from factory spec, perfect provenance hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
