Winning seats and suspension, but dat exhaust!

 

[dangerous dave]

I wouldn't pay it

 

[Cropper]

The plate is worth a fair bit of money itself surely?

 

[Ben.Block]

Exhaust looks gash, especially with the original holes still there.

 

[Oggy997]

I live in Corby and I have never heard of these (not to say they aren't genuine!) - looking at their list of motors, I'm surprised I haven't!

 

[AdDaMan]

Chavved up lol?!! Its miles and miles from being chavved up isnt it.

 

[Gus]

Some of the stuff I really like but why have they done that to the exhaust ? it looks absolutely stupid. Floor mats are gash too but apart from that look spretty good.
Seats are actually really nice. What is the MoTeC box in the boot?

 

[V6Dan]

Well known car on the v6 forum plenty of knowledge on it. A Past owner was searching for more horse power. I don't know the ins and outs as it was before I joined the club.

Not sure if be paying that for it. Hard one to price with the all the modifications.

Change the exhaust, fit a decent steering wheel and that's a nice car IMO.

Not worth £30k to me though. You can buy a hell of a lot of car for £30k!

I was thinking same, nowt wrong with that.

V6 values are continuing to rocket though - I don't think it's worth 30k but I think it will certainly go for that money.

 

[Knuckles]

They are truly rocketing.

That's why I was looking at them lol.

Last year iirc one was bought for £15k, sold this year for £21k iirc and is now up for £30k!

It is a minter, but they are properly shooting up in price.

Its a standalone ECU.

Chavvy exhaust, rather than chavved up.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Needs putting back to standard before it's worth top money IMHO

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it! People are now looking at preserving good standard examples as an investment. There's no reason why the values won't continue to rise to Turbo2 levels in the next 10 years.

I'm not too concerned with investment & I intend to use it properly (although mileage will be limited as it's our 3rd car)

Nice to know its depreciation free motoring though

 

[Jamie]

Depreciation free if you paid less than £20k. I don't think it's depreciation free if you pay / paid £30k.

 

[fixedgear]

Runs on MoTeC, flicks my switch.

Was expecting silver graphics and a bolt on wing, not 'chavvy'. Chavs don't have money for Clio V6's.

Perhaps there is a performance benefit from the relocated exhausts?

 

[Poopensharten]

You only need to see whats happened with R5 Turbo cars to see that these will at some point heading towards 100k.

 

[Jekyll]

For 30k I'd rather be looking at that Pacific Blue Escort Cosworth.

Have escorts peaked or are they still appreciating?

At this point, I genuinely think vees are investments

 

[Chris V6 255]

Apparently this one is for sale for 40k [emoji15]



This sold for 60k at auction the other week!

Insane!?!?!?

The thing is, as there's never that many out there for sale a few people started asking higher prices form them, now everyone's followed suit. An LY phase 2 sold for around £40k so that helped.
It's no bad thing though

 

[Chris_Beer]

30k and the SERV and coil light has been blanked out lol?
