8 years paying for a car! I would rather buy a white hatch STI and mod it a little to say 500bhp and have a huge chunk of money spare

If performance car prices continue to fall at the current rate, what will it be worth at 3 years old? More than the £22k balloon payment you will still have outstanding? By then you'll have paid out £23364 in monthly payments + 10k deposit= £33364 add the £22k balloon payment to make a Dunx Family Fortune of:







£55364 (Fifty five thousand three hundred and sixty four pounds!!!!!)



The 60x 400 will cost you £2k more taking the price over 7 years to £57,364 (fifty seven thousand three hundred and sixty four pounds!!!!!)

Thats a lot of cash for a car that will have around 100 bhp less than the current Dunxmobile......

From what I've heard maybe closer to 130bhp less

If your happy buy it, if your not don't

BUT I certainly wouldn't buy before trying it,

pig in a poke comes to mind

Is the £22k a guaranteed end value or a true 'balloon' ?

Either way a fairly scary 'predicted' value for a £50k limted production run car !

They have only sold circa 5 cars ....... I am guessing these will be 40k new from the dealers very soon.

Yes, try upping your dose to 100mG 3X a day. If symptoms persist consult a doctor without delay.

A rule my parents always told me

but alas this day and age people dont wont or cant, and having a spare 50k around probably puts the chances of that at 1% in these forums.

I agree though for a 10k car maybe buy it fbut for 20 30k plus it would be hard :/

Is it as little as 5? Doesn't surprise me really. The hatch is hardly a runaway sucess in any other guise, economy faltering, petrol going through the roof etc.etc.

My feelings are if they have only sold 5 out of a limited run of 75 then the car is never going to be desirable and all you have is a mini XJ220 fiasco happening.

Walk away as they will be seling them off for less than £40K before long and will be worth £30K or less in 12 mionths time.

Yes and mine or on a sh 911 c4 and not a bland looking, overpriced hatchback with a Cosworth Badge on it. I would rather have a 22B and 30 in the bank!

Here's what you get for your 50k

http://photos.evo.co.uk/images/front..._372331_25.jpg

IMHO, despite the fact that it'll be a fine car in and of itself, when you look at the alternatives it's an underwhelming, underpowered, overpriced PR exercise.

It will also be left in the wake of any decent 2.5 forged conversion by a reputable specialist..... Like mine for example which, including the donor hawkeye, cost half the price!!

Worst of all, this is one cossie that won't ever attain cult status, so won't hold it's value!

IMO Avoid! Spend that kind of money on a Skyline, or go and give Mr Litchfield a knock and pocket the 10-15 grand you'll save!

Dunx - don't do it. That's crazy money for a car that is basically a disappointment.

I personally wouldn't have a GTR at that money either. Not unless you have a lot of money sitting for a rainy day. Have any of you seen the parts and servicing costs?!! Shocking.

I would get a second hand 911 GT3, Turbo or wait a year and get an R8.

plus you don't loose 5k as soon as you drive those off the forcourt. For the price of 2 22b's then, s much as i love scoobs, it just doesn't give you value for money

You'd be IMHO & I'm hoping that this is just a trolling post where will you find £22k after 3yrs ... not from the car!
