Collecting Gear / Selecting Cars

[GG.]

You guys are funny. I like how a front end respray once every trip to the moon is equated to a ‘blow over every 10k miles’ and ‘every other service’.

Also, that’s a GT3. I’m pretty certain it’s not 180,000 motorway miles.

[Jobbo]

The first owner did 149k in it across Europe, and more in a 996 GT3 before that. His usage is well known. It didn’t do 150k track miles

Nice

My real concern would be that someone that runs up that kind of mileage without getting a partial respray is clearly not one to spend money where it can be avoided.

That’s a benefit to me, the cat doesn’t look like it has anything to hide and also if you are doing that kind of mileage, why bother with a front end respray when months later you have put another 10,000 miles on it ?

They look so right don't they. Massive want.

It’s like a mini RC car

One of those ‘missed the boat’ cars, like the Z3MC. (in terms of £££)

Will be interesting to see how much it will go for. 30-40k mile 997 gt3s are £65k upwards.

This will need 10-15k worth of engine rebuild and 5-7k worth of paint in the next few years (well, it needs the paint now) That's a net £45k ish car skirting around the issue of whether you'd ever be able to sell it. On that basis I'd pay sub £40k but I'm sure people will bid higher.

£5k of paint? What are you painting it with?

Alas, no - mine (Y557 ACL) went to France back in 2010 and I doubt it ever returned.

That one misses the perspex rear cover (never liked the Motorsport one) and the body coloured wing uprights look wrong. But S/Charged Honda? I bet that shifts a bit.

Very well priced!

Woah - that is too cheap!

[Coaster1]

Ohhhh, s/c, I didn’t looked at all the photos.

A 190bhp K-series or 220bhp K20 would be plenty for me.

[Coaster1]

Yeah, I had a look on Autotrader..... somebody picked up a bargain.

Nice colour too.

The auctions seem very hit and miss, a cayenne I had my eye on as it was local, just went for about 3k more than a car a dealer, great for the seller...

An exige V6 went a week while ago and it was ridiculously cheap as well. Maybe it’s the time of the year-
Or the true value!?

Now at a dealer for £47k, a gentle 15% mark up.

Same dealer bought the Noble from CC as well. 38% mark up!

That Evora is back up for sale for £50k

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2016-66-Reg- ... 890.l49292

"FLSH" except it was last services in July 2018....so...no.

The market is pretty quiet at the moment. I've been looking at Elise and Exige and there's not a great deal out there....not even a single Roadster on the market. Not really a great time to be poking around showrooms though, is it?

[Coaster1]

My idea spec would be smoke silver manual, but I don’t think autos are bad.
