Am I missing something?!

[Trapps84]

So I can accross this on Fb

It is a very nice car fantastic spec and really would like to have very similar myself, they're asking £7,500 for it..... What am I missing because I'm looking at that car and thinking top end is £5500.

It's a stunning car, am I being cheap thinking it's worth £5000/5500?

It's worth less than 5k with the wrong engine with unknown mileage

 

[Daz...]

Personally I’d be put off by the engine with unknown mileage.

Starting (very) high and letting someone think they’ve got a bargain when it goes for less maybe?

 

[Trapps84]

I must say its causing a big debate on the advert and is fairly split with people who agree and don't, on that alone there could well be a buyer for it but as you said it'll probably get sold for less as like most cars do.

For that price i'd want it to have AST's and throttle bodies.

How many of those who think it's not overpriced are willing to put their hand in their pocket and buy the thing?
Willing to bet the answer is zero.

 

[Trapps84]

You're probably right, most defending the price aren't buyers.

What would you say its worth?

 

[R3k1355]

Less than 5.

Scrapyard engine out of a Ph.1 with no idea of the miles? Wiring has been chopped about, and did I miss the detail in the advert on the roll cage?

Scrapyard engine out of a Ph.1 with no idea of the miles? Who's parting with good money for that one?

I wasn't being cheap at £5/5500 then.

It is a really nice car, but not even a full cage and was expecting it to be a turbo or throttle bodies at very least

 

[R3k1355]

Have you seen it in person?

The seller freely admits that it's seen plenty of track action and carrys a few marks because of it.

No literally just the advert and tbh at that price I doubt I'd make the journey if I was in the market.

A lot saying its mint who have seen it but also the same people complimentary on condition say its not worth that.

 

[R3k1355]

Decent spec, it's had some money spent on it. But throwing a load of money at a car doesn't make it worth loads.

There must be something in the air affecting all these MK2 owners.

No witch hunt genuinely thought I was missing something, thought I'd ask here from what I would consider the font of knowledge regarding these cars rather than listen to the fbers.

 

[JamesBryan]

I've been in that car on track and it's really well prepared.

While it may not be worth quite that much to most of us, it's certainly had the time and money put into it over the years.

It's definitely a £5k plus car, no questions asked.

I was originally looking for a 172 due to my budget, however when I went to view this car I just couldn't turn it down. 44k, immaculate and the belts had been done, so we struck a deal. A week later it was mine. However the car was parked up at my Grandmas for a month as I couldn't afford to...

Don’t be fooled by good photography.

I'm not as familiar with the car as others in here but I am 1000% confident that Tom will have maintained it and looked after it with great care.

I'd think that of most the paying members of this group though, I just can't see the price tag being justifiable though.
