[ben81]

Flol at 8k to repair :clown:

 

[Rubicon_]

Bargain. If i had the money though theres no chance id be driving around in a repaired 458.

 

[decco]

The carbon brakes didnt help the previous owner it seems

 

[...]

not a hope in hell of getting the parts for 8k .... let alone repair it .

 

[Wick]

£8K might get you a windscreen, some scrap metal and a few pipes lol! Where's the rest of the list.

i know what a pair of new headlights cost as i know a man who had to get new ones when he imported his car ......... thats your 8k gone alone

[daydotz]

what do we think it be worth when its fixed ?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Interesting.

The damage isnt actually major judging by the pics, core part of the shell looks in tact etc.

Would be ok it you planned on keeping it a long time I guess, but the resale value of it on the register is going to be hammered I would think, so probably not good to buy and try and make a profit on.

 

[Fred@BTM]

my lot will probably buy that adn fix it (largest driving experience place in uk)

edit - its snapped the chassis leg, good luck fixing that!

Ideal for that!

Should think the price is negotiable too.

And all plus vat

 

[Chip-mk1]

The 8K the dealer mentioned was based on secondhand values not new to be fair.


But obviously if the dealer themself actually believe it was as simple as they are making it sound they would do it themselves, lol

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thought FailSport would fancy having a poke at this down the Unit.

 

[Mork of Ork]

The question is, would the parts be worth more than £89k if it's broken?

Exactly my thoughts when I read it!

Buy it, do a thread and let us know.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Be ok to look at from behind,

Maybe chop the front out and turn it into a desk or a BBQ?

 

[Frasers Cup]

Or how about a v8 powered bbq? lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Phase1 clio front end on it. Job jobbed.

 

[Matt_90]

Buy it. Put the engine into a mini pickup or something different, then you have one awesome sleeper!

Expensive way to get a decent engine. I'd sooner have an ls1 and the change personally.

Valid point but if money was a no brainer and you had time on your hands then, it would be great. But we can all dream lol!

Maybe consider it for your Nova ?

 

[Chip-mk1]

My pockets are too shallow.

I do love Revvy v8engines though, really enjoyed driving around in porkies f430 when he forced me to have a go when we were over at the ring.

 

[davo172]

I bet 200.1 mph has already offered him £35 CASH (GENUINE BUYER ) for it

 

[Siddle]

LOL.

i reckon it'd look great on my drive as it is.. with a sheet over the front.

 

[Paul172sport]

Erh why's it not been repaired by the insurance. Doesn't look enough to actually write it off even at Ferrari parts and labour.

 

[Dave..]

Don't be daft. It's not worth £35, I'll give you £20. Cash waiting, send me your paypal address. Best offer you're going to get. I'm a c*nt. iirc.

 

[Adam.]

This has been for sale for a good few months now!

Knock him down then.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

These ads make me laugh, if its that easy to fix it the seller would have done it himself. Clearly more too it then is being mentioned.

 

[It's.Lee]

If I won the euromillions tonight I hereby promise to buy this and make it a games console.

 

[Fred@BTM]

it happens a lot with top end cars, not entirley sure why but i know of a C63 AMG that was crashed and sold damaged repairable (un declared, should've been a cat D or even C) because the person driving it was pissed, car was fixed and sold on as a straight car

 

[JonnyGee]

there is always buyers for top end cars as once they are exported the history can dissapear
and in fairness if it wasnt for the chassis part its not actually that bad

 

[Mork of Ork]

I guess when Rowan Atkinson has his Mclaren F1 repaired after this that should be doable with enough cash.
