I was offered this car last month from an Ireland Dealer, as reg plate is the same. he was trying to deal with owner on a PX. it was offered to me as an LS1 5.7 as thats what reg doc said. but now looks like a 6.0 VXR

It was described as a bit of a creature and way below average condition !! said it had lots of paintwork, scruffy and had overspray on most panels and very kerbed alloys. car was offered at around £6k. no S/History so miles were unwarranted. He said it looked like it had done more

he said if someone had the time it could be smartened up a bit or maybe broken for spares as it required a lot money for proper refurb

Still good value to the right person now its appears its a 6.0

due to location, unconfirmed mileage and condition - I declined
I did a bit of research today and apparently the seller is a decent bloke. So while the car might be a bit tatty I don't think he'll try and pull the wool over your eyes.

It'll be a good purchase for someone.

My reply might have come across wrong, I didn't mean you were having a go at him or anything James.

The comment was really meant for the OP If he decided to take a look at it.
