    It doesn't make sense that it is only £1000 more than a saloon that is 3 years older and has triple the mileage?

    Can you please please please let me know what you think of the VR4s in there................particularly the black manual saloon (thnk it's an S)

    I've got a trip to Leeds coming up and am thinking of making a small diversion to Keighley to take a look, it would save me an hour's hassle if the car's are not up to scratch.

    Much appreciated :-b
    Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, and besides... it's all in the reflexes

    Probably wise to not have a second VR-4 Derek - Many reasons to stick with just the one...
    (One of the main ones being that Mrs. Interlec would have killed you untill you died from it)

    With all these low prices it is very worrying about resale for us all, sure you can buy cheap... we all want that but if you paid out a few quid and lose alot in the process of selling up it's not so good..

    £32,000 car to £9,000 in about 2 years is a joke.

    I paid £7K for mine, but it probably stands me at at least £10K so far !! time to slow down a bit on the expenditure !!
    But In terms of smiles per mile, It aint a lot of dosh, :-D :-D
    I was just going to have a nosey, with no intention of buying, BUT!!! If they could get hold of a really cheap one, I would have been straight back on here rounding you up ! :stunned: for the "VR4 club car" !!! :-b :-b

    I really hope this takes off... I think it'd be great to get a club car! There's an accident repaired car on Bonsai tonight... but it's got a start price of 200,000 yen (£980)...

    Depends mate... If you go for option 1 (ship to UK and relevant paperwork only), then it's only a £500, rather than £1500 cut... If you know somewhere that can do cheapo SVA stuff, then you're good to go...

    Bear in mind that the prices quoted on the sheets are the starting price.. Or have you already factored that in??

    I work minutes from that garage and although they have had in just a few decent condition cars most of stock is ragged and prob not worth buying

    high mileage and shabby conditions as far as I saw

    I assumed best cars in showroom NOT on forecourt - they had a very tidy Evo, on the outside at least, some weks ago but I looked under bonnet of a GT4 in showroom presumably prepped for sale and air filter was filthy

    Not a good example or inspiring of the quality of product or care they may have taken in choosing or preparing the cars

    You need to check place for youself and there may be a bargain that YOU want

    I think you are likely to be disappointed but if you want me to have a look this week - name a car/cars - I will try to oblige and give you my opinion

    I still have my car for sale - initially advertised at price suggested by importer but willing to negotiate with anyone interested
