the last two at jp are sold and gone....

the second one was owned in its mid life by a footballer who didn't get it serviced, which is fair enough if you want to service every 7000 or so miles as recommended.....

the first one.... i thought a stealer had that on sale at a much higher price.... may have been sor and seller has taken back and put on as private sale.... phone call tomorrow i think...

Jperformance seem like they never actually have any cars and just post them on Pistonheads, you call up and they are 'under offer' or the adverts say 'DEPOSITE TAKEN'

Look:

In fact it seems they do it a lot.

In fact it seems they do it a lot.
They just pick the right cars and price them right. Gallardos priced at £95-105k sit on Ph for a long time, whereas JP seem to mostly deal in 06/07 cars priced just over £80k which is a sweet spot for this market, and thus their cars sell straight away.

18 months ago when I was looking, my budget wasd £85k and I was being beaten to fresh cars by telephone buyers constantly, priced right these cars sell quickly, priced over the mark and they sit getting stale. When I sold mine privately I got ZERO calls on the car when priced over £90k, as soon as I dropped it to £88k no offers it sold the next day for the full asking price.

You could ask yourself the same question putting your self in the buyers shoes, How much would you be willing to lose, Personally for me it seems a high price car, dealer price + for a private sale.

If it was me and I wouldnt be happy about it at all but I would probably be expecting to take around a 5K hit in the two months, I paid less for a lower mile Spyder 18 months ago, sure it would appear prices have risen if not at least stayed firm but I wouldnt expect to get 90K for mine and its still done less miles ( if that is an issue to anybody )

On a related subject I wonder what the thoughts are of discussing sale prices of cars on here so specifically, Understand forums are for help but people throwing their 2p worth in as I just did can harm a private sale, Are dealers more fair game than private sale to disucss prices or should it make no difference ? im undecided !

i think its okay to discuss as i haven;t given you all the facts and we don;t know all the facts..... don;t know what the dealer let it go for, and i haven;t revealed the price i've negiotiated.... so you are simply discussing sticker price, which is very helpful indeed.....

ultimately, you are stating an opinion, it is up to me to make or break the deal based on what i think, so keep the comments coming... a friend in need is a friend indeed, and i need ur opinions...

I believe it had the bumper conversion and wasn't a 560-4, save your tears wink

correct... It was and still is an 07 G spyder with egear.
it has the RSC front bumper and I think maybe RSC exhausts too from memory but it wasn't an LP.

Mine was not a 560, just had the front bumper...
