Well don't offer less than parts value or it may get in an 'accident' (hit by Jewish lightning as they say in the USA) and be broken for parts...

Cheers

I might phone him up, but if he still has it at xmas, he will just want to get shot of it.

Actually, I am going to call him now and have a chat about it and find out if he is selling it for a client or he actually owns it

Back soon...

PS, Aeros, loving that avatar, sums the GS up perfectly

.....just spoke to them its the owner of the business's personal car, and says not been for sale for 6 months, they had another white one, hence the photo with both in it.

Anyway, I mentioned that there are several cars for sale at just under the £60k mark and he explained "they are not white though" so the reason for the high price is purely the colour which is stupid.

On the plus side, being the owners car, its does not owe them a fixed price so he can sell for whatever.

The owners is out the office today but will call me tomorrow, but cant see anyway he is going to take £55k for it and TBH, this car is the one to have, but its the black/black thing. I have been told I can have this car for £57, 500 as a trade sale, no warranty:

With a nonsense price premium like that you are better off getting another colour and having it wrapped (properly) to the colour of your choice. It will cost you less and will protect the paintwork underneath when you come to sell & restore to original.

Good idea MAF

So if i buy black with black, wrap it, what £1500 for a proper job? then add the mc carbon kit and black wheels, I can sell the carbon kit at the end and get 75% of my money back and leave the wrap on have it removed?

Makes sense.

The only thing, when I see a car for sale that has been wrapped it puts me off straight away. Best to remove all mods before sale me thinks.

I'd say have it wrapped for your own pleasure Matt and have it removed before sale. IMO a wrapped car could be seen as less desirable and possibly hiding something underneath. You can't change the interior easily or cheaply, so find a car with the right interior colour amongst your other requirements and then wrap it. Make sure the exterior colour isn't something dodgy that you won't be able to sell on once returned to original and you should be fine. It seems your holy grail of white with red interior will be hard to come by within budget, especially when you start to add in any other requirements around mileage, year, options etc.

Think this makes sense, black with red is quite easy to come by, mind you, with black interior looks smart too:
