About to buy, need advice please?
I've been offered a one owner, 32,000 mile 1999 UK prodrive car.
Absolutely mint, 7 stamps in the book all from main dealer.
It's up for £8000, which I know is too much, but I'd like to get an opinion on what it's it's true worth is. I can't believe there are many out there like this, so don't want to miss it, but don't want to get ripped off either.
My scooby history: new green UK prodrive car in 1998 that I spent every last penny to get.
New bug eye in 2001 UK 300 - now looking for third.
Thanks in advance, and let's hope I end up joining as an owner!

Welcome! I'm afraid I can't be of any assistance as regards to its value, but one thing I would question is: isn't seven service stamps too few for a 16-year-old car?

thanks
It is perfect, but after doing some more research, I'm inagreement that it's a 5K car. Totally original and unmolested though - I REALLY wanted it.
The search continues.......
Thanks all.

£4k which is still VERY strong money for a UK Classic, £4.5k if you've just go to have it. £8k should see you in a reasonably low milage early Blob STI or the mintest of minty fresh Bug STI's, It's also sub 60k fresh import STI Type R / RA money which if you're after a Classic is a much better one to be putting that kind of money into because you'll lose nothing over the next few years.
If you paid £8k for a 32k UK Classic now you'd need to stick it in a bubble and leave it there for 10yrs to get that back.
