Thanks for the info. Amazing what lurks beneath, having your car stolen and trashed is not good though. Agree that the dealer will struggle at that price if potential buyer does any homework which in this niche market is highly likely, having said that if Monkfish have had it in can't see it being anything other than right.
Think i'll hang fire.

Again many thanks.
The fish done the charger at the time it was the only red one they had done
They dont do body repairs so how well that has been done is anyone's guess as is the condition of the drivetrain after it was stolen/ damaged

I doubt the drivetrain has had any more a rough time than owners on here doing burnouts and taking their cars to the drag strip IMHO !

Not that I would be worried about

According to the VXR online thread, when it was stolen, it was returned with very little damage.

Suppose any potential buyer would be mad not to invest in a full inspection to make sure all is OK with the car.

Just like to add that *********** service and customer care is shocking and I had nothing but problem after problem with them which led to me being out of pocket and taking time off work several times.

This is exactly the reason why N&S policy is wrong. The only people that complain, are those who don't want something publicised or discovered, as it may compromise their personal gain.

We're not talking unfair criticism here, we're talking about the suppression of information that would be helpful to prospective owners.

You're right. That's why I checked that all of the information was accurate.

I haven't deleted anything yet wink

Lol. Well here goes. Finance was agreed then they went back on their word/agreement so I had to go else where bearing in mind I'd already got a loan which had expired due to the terms I was promised, cost me more. Had to wait another 3 week's for the wrongs to be put right with the car before I could pic it up. And the wrongs were still there and took many many returns to be corrected. Faulty rear fog light faulty rear spoiler brake light which I ended up fitting myself as I was told this was cosmic and didn't function. Ecu check engine light 5 visits and a bright green 1 letre hire car in the end found the fish thank god. Broken power steering another 3 week's off the road and there's more but at the end of it all I came out with a new radiator and broken aircon 'was working before it went in' which was abit of a bummer as the warrenty had just run out hmmmm.
