good luck to the seller

God knows why the price is up there? I thought it interesting that he states its a standard car, then lists the mods!

hpoolsteve 05 May 2011 03:56 PM

I just dont get it....

Why not ask the seller?

I have emailed him.

I said.... "please excuse my ignorance but could you explain to my why it is price at 3500 more than they really sell for."

I will post his response

Hi. It's a good question.

The asking price (and it is only an asking price)reflects, among other things, that (a) it is a UK car, not an import (b)it has a reconditioned engine which has been carefully run in and so should have many miles left in it (c) the brakes have recently been refurbished at a cost of £750 and (d)it has been dyno'd showing a genuine 311bhp at the flywheel.

Above is the gents reply

Pack_Scoob 05 May 2011 09:58 PM

So its a) a car b) Needed a new engine as the old one wasnt looked after c) it has brakes and d)A genuine 311bhp at the flywheel, as opposed to a fake 311bhp!

I'm impressed:)

Just a car to be avoided I guess then.

At the end of the day it's the sellers car and he can advertise it for what ever price he likes! Wether he sells it or not is a different matter :)

Thats a true statement mate. It was a genuine question that i asked him.

No harm in asking! The price is always there to be knocked down! ( in his case quite a bit ) :)
