Wheeler Dealers 2014/2015 - New Series

[oobster]

Bidding is up to £8,100 on eBay for the orange S2000. Eek! Mike will be fuming

[anonymous-user]

Madness. It's not even worth 6000.

The thing is none of us outside of the production team and the seller know what the deal was exactly.
Did they even buy the car in the 1st place or was it all a facade ?

Fact is no one is going to take less for a car he's got higher bids for on ebay and no one is going to stump up an extra 500 quid for a car advertised at £6,500 because Mikey boy says his phone has been ringing off the hook.

It's reality tv so it's mostly not in the slightest bit real

Correct:

Nice smoke screen!

Dealer: He's had it 6 years and done lots of amazing upgrades.

Owner: I've had it 4 years and have added some scoops on the side, mullered the turbos and fked the heater.

[Butter Face]

We: We're going to have it on a rolling road and get it remapped!



Me: Oh nice, looking forward to that.


Ed: here it is, all remapped.


Me: Oh :|

[Welshbeef]

A wonderful car without need to remap it. These are rare cars keep them original and in tip top condition your money should be safe.



I say safe but I guess the temptation of the M600 will quickly nab you and then that's a fair amount more £ .


Epic cars in the same fold as a F40

[stephen300o]

Can see why he took that original wheel off.

Ed was stting himself there

How many times are they going to call this thing a Supercar.

It's rare, fast and to some special but Supercar, really?

The whole program was very superficial with bits just turning up for silly prices, as the Orange Jetstream car was in the intro I imagine they helped out, both technically and with parts, the 2.5 may not be a supercar, but an M400 with 600 bhp is, in every sense of the word.

[coolchris]

That hole thing of whats a supercar well im biased but in its day it could keep up with cars regarded as supercars to me stick it next to a 996 turbo of its time (a supercar) and looks alone the noble has so much more visual impact imo

A few things there. There is not a left and right number plate light. Just one in the centre.

There is no engine check light.

The Noble isn't in the mot emissions book so only needs a visual test.

One more thing, that MOT data is for the S2000, not the Noble!

Lol epic fail by that poster - unless he/she meant the show a few weeks ago.

Does it matter which episode it was in reference to?
