Looks nice but you have to wonder why is the dealer not MOT testing it and retailing it for 12K.

I always struggle to understand the statements people make about market value - £12k.

There is a manual 3200 on 75k which PK Supercars are trying to help the owner sell. A year ago it was £10750 then this spring it was £13k, now it is £10250 and not sold. The market in these is very fickle as everyone knows the chances of a big bill on a 15 year old supercar are high.

Yep I agree, they seem to be ten a penny too with lots cropping up in a sorry state. I'm amazed at some of the values but I think the market sees them as unreliable money pits. If you want one you really need to want one if that makes sense?

It's a shame that they are not sitting higher than current values as you do get a lot of car for your money. You can go from loving a 3200 to hating it in a matter of seconds and then loving it again in the same time frame.....

The dealer selling this one had that high mileage QP a while back and a TVR I saw as well. They never replied to me on either car.

After some digging/research I found some worrying info so I would give these guys a wide berth or keep your eyes wide open on dealing with them. They might well be fine but often no smoke without fire.

Loving the advert...
HIGHLY MAINTAINED WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED - STACKS OF INVOICES
Ok, that sounds good.

HAS BEEN SAT FOR LAST 6 MONTHS
MOT EXPIRED
NEEDS SLIGHT TLC TO BRING BACK TO FORMER GLORY
Hang on, what?

Some sellers really should restrict themselves when it comes to words in car adverts!

I fear it's too expensive and will be sitting around for a while... £7,500 isn't THAT much less than £12k (which it isn't worth anyway as others have pointed out!) especially when they can't be bothered spending 70 quid for an MOT to see what it needs!

Also 121k genuine miles in the ad, but MOT check says 122,921 in July 2014...
The MOT history checking website is awesome

Needs to be 5k

Totally agree, the advert is very hypocritical and reeks of 'I can't spend any more money on this'!!

I think there comes a time in all cars lives (of this quality and marque) when to say..............I will get more for this car if I break it and sell all the parts separately!!
