Mars Red Vee - Why so cheap?

[JayR]

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1325826.htm

Seems a tad cheap at 10k considering more common colours in the 255 are 14k and up!?

Does 38k do that to a Vee or is there something wrong here?

 

[Bluebeard]

Gotta be on the register. Thats about £4k too cheap!

[Reyes]

Apparently it's a 225

 

[Ali]

[JayR]

[Reyes]

Wow. 1 Midnight? lol

 

[Ads_172]

Hmm, the idea of moonlight blue works better than the result.

Probably would look better with a good polish and detail...

Great - So theres about as much chance of becoming a millionaire overnight as there is of getting an LY or Mars in good nick come up then!?

 

[Dash]

One of our members has just bought a MK 2 Mars Red with under 5k miles. It is factory mint condition. So these nice ones do appear now and then.

I'd rather own a nice v6 than be a millionaire.

 

[koi]

Deep bronze :dead:

 

[Fletcher]

JayR 2 nice looking LY V6's on P-heads ATM.. shame they're so much more expensive then say BG,Illiad blue.

 

[JayR]

^Where are they then mate? I cant see anything but Illard, BG and the Mars i posted!

Blind obviously! lol

My bad

I've just checked p-heads mate, they must have both sold in the last couple of days then

 

[ForceIndia]

LY looks rotten on the Vee. Illiad's a far nicer colour IMO. But Mars red would be my choice!

Recently on Pheads

D2 WRC
10,000 miles. 2005 on a 55 reg. excellent all round
condition just turned 10000 miles.
liquid yellow,tracker,FRSH. [Mid Glamorgan]

Price: £19,995

 

[JayR]

Hmmm tough choice between Mars and LY for me but i think LY looks better on the Vee than the 182 and i still love my 182 after years on years of ownership purley because of the colour so i cant share tha opinion!

Fletch - Iv just spent 10/15 minutes sifting through the three Clio sections on there! lol

Absolute mental price but someone will pay it i guess!

Just gos to show if you want a Renault with barely no depreciation get a good Vee.

Sorry about that mate..lol

I think LY looks great on the vee, although I'd have any colour bar silver TBH.

It's the colour, they command a silly premium

 

[Fletcher]

Yep, something like 4-5k extra for a colour is madness IMO.

 

[Ali]

I prefer illiad to Liquid yellow regardless...Had it been a premium colour like the ph1 i would of wanted it!!! I don't "Want" LY although i do really like it.

 

[JayR]

It is abit much but having said that im sure iv seen one or two knocking around the 18k mark before now!

Did it cost 1200 extra for that paint work on the Vee like it did the 182 or more?

Either way considering the Vees were what, circa 27k new thats not a bad sell on price for anyone who ventured into buying one four or five years back.

 

[Dash]

Yes it was £1150 for the I.D. paints and up to £4.5k for leather options.
