Wanted: 4200 GT Red / Black

[MM_Yannick]

Gents,

looking for a 4200 GT , paintwork rosso mondiale and interior nero.

Maybe someone knows something or want to sale?

Thanks

 

[maverick]

What year , milage etc. ?

 

[mjheathcote]

With the current pound/euro exchange rate, and right hand drive, I would not expect a European buyer being interested in buying from the UK?

 

[hodroyd]

Maybe visits the UK on a weekly basis..??

 

[MM_Yannick]

Milage not over 100.000 km
Preface 2001 - 2004.
Only Coupe!
Important is the condition of the car.
Looking for a very very good car and not for a "cheap" one.

LHD prefered sure!

 

[mjheathcote]

I think you will struggle.

Paintwork rosso mondiale and interior nero:Not the most popular colour combination, although nice.
GT not CC:Not very common, majority by far the cambiocorsa
LHD:Maybe almost non, of any colour or gearbox type

Good luck with the search!

Mine was that but it was a 2005...and I sold it four years ago. Great colour combi obviously.

I also have my eye out for a Manual 4200 GT, not too fussed on colour...

Would you say it's unrealistic to expect to find one for £13-14k? There's a few CCs around that price but I guess the manual box goes for more?

Generally I would say the manual box goes for less.
There are less manuals, but not as desirable to most.

hmmm, maybe it's just the wrong time of year to look... the manuals are advertised at £16k - £19k on autotrader whereas the CCs are £12.5k+

Such rare features are always at a premium when you are buying and at a discount when you are selling in my experience.

So true!
Reminds me of my uncle a few years ago when he was in a Renault dealer looking to trade in his Espace for the latest model.
"Do you have a second hand turbo diesel Espace in stock, especially in metallic green?"
"No sir, very desirable though"
"That's good, I would like to part-ex my turbo diesel Espace...in green!"

Seen this one?

#2 facelift GT. Manuals are typically less desirable so usually sell for less than CCs and take longer to sell. This car has been around for a while, he might take an offer.

Wasn't that the one that didn't sell for ages at £13995 then gets relisted and re-priced at £15995?

 

[hodroyd]

It's a manual so I think overpriced at that money and still will not sell..!!

Love it.

I think you may be right. Looks like the seller would definitely take an offer, then!

I am toying with the thought of selling mine, 4200 GT, Rosso/Nero, RHD, Larini X pipe (else standard). 39,000 miles, MY 2004 (04 plate) though currently has private plate.

Obviously price will be the deciding factor.
