Not sure tbh, just seems very expensive. Have a look round pistonheads to get a feel for price - i could be wrong and it's right on the money.

spent 17K on the car - really, have to wonder if it was money well spent with just 350BHP, perhaps it has 18 carat gold floor mats.

i would have thought it about 2k overpriced, possibly a little more.

Im always looking on autotrader, pistonheads, and ebay to get a feel for the prices and that just seems a little expensive (maybe get them to knock off £1k). I know that JPerformance have a very good reputation with these cars so you're paying extra for their care. You know that buying a car off them will be in sound condition and running with no problems and had all the checks carried out.

To be honest, that price is probably right for all the mods it has plus its on that 56 plate which puts it in the lower tax band / low milage / great condition / full service history.

Like I said, knock a grand off it and that seems right to me.

About £3k overpriced regardless of mods or who's selling it.

On a 2.5 sorry but you can but it will **** the internals out within a short period of time.

And who says the car hasn't had a full forged engine build, but just has a stock turbo. 8-9k will get you in a Hawkeye yes but how good a one, the lower mileage cats seem to be up about 10-11k so to pay 1-2 more for a car that has been mapped possible suspension work etc maybe forged engine sorry but how is that over priced

If it had a fully forged engine build then maybe the price is understandable but there is no mention of it in the advert.
I would have thought that would be a major selling point and would be mentioned if it had one.

I personally think 10 grands worth of blob is a better bet. You'll find (eventually) a JDM with very good spec for circa 10K.
