Could be a cheap 4200 but looks like my 105k car under the bonnet rather than 12.5k.
Phil.

 

[Paulm]

Phil......you dirty b*gger, give your lady a steam clean.....then she'll look 80k better

 

[Andyk]

That could be a good buy......I suppose with these cars its take it as it is...No history, no V5....Its a risk but I would throw in a 5k bid and see what happens.....

 

[philw696]

For 5k that would be a bargain 2 seater with nearly 400 ponys on tap.

 

[Andyk]

Well with GTV gone thats a bit tempting ... But also scary...

 

[Parisien]

Didn't know it was gone Andy.......adding to warchest now....let us know when your going to pounce!!!


P

 

[Andyk]

See for sale in others Frank..Tells the story there.......No Maserati I'm afraid......But the one above is tempting at the right price..But am I brave enough.

 

[Parisien]

Get one of the guys to look her over.........am sure it will go for 6/7/8....have a warchest of 3/4K......what do you think?


P

 

[Andyk]

If it was 6k I would probably do it Frank and do it up over time......But yes did think about someone close who understands these cars to maybe take a look...Ideal would be 5k but I think as you have said it will go for 7/8k....But then no history may put some off...

 

[Parisien]

You never know Andy.....perhaps best to get an indie inspection done, if they allow it?.............ends on Monday...see what happens over the weekend....your name might well be on it!!!


P

 

[Andyk]

Stranger things have happened Frank.

 

[Paulm]

Andy, just do it........I'll stick a bid on for you simple process then you'll be able to use it as a nice track car !

 

[Andyk]

Paul, sounds good mate but I currently don't have a car so it would be used everyday so I need to have some confidence in it so would need someone in the know to have a look...Thanks for the offer though mate I may take you up on it once I have done some more investigation...

 

[Paulm]

Andy,
NP ......If someone is near to Sandy, it's a quick call and coparts will take whoever to look over vehicle and if your lucky enough....fire her up

 

[BennyD]

At that price, it has to be worth a punt. With 12k miles on it there isn't going to be a lot of history apart from the annuals and the oil is due a change about now anyway. What could possibly go wrong? If it does go bang, and it wont, stick a 4.7 in it and have even more fun!

 

[Andyk]

Just had some good advice on her after looking into her ... Leave well along as all is not what it seems......

 

[BennyD]

Do tell...........

 

[Andyk]

Can not betray a confidence Ian......But as above..Leave well alone....

 

[Paulm]

Andy,
What can I say.......sorry........ STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS !!!!!!!!
I can confirm what you say, did exaclty the same when you were looking into it.......The thing is only good for parts !
