VXR8 for sale...good price?

[Caractacus]

Hi All,

I'm looking at getting a supercharged VXR8 and this one's popped up on Autotrader.

Is it a tad pricy? Of bang on? I've not seen many for sale over the last few months so I've little to compare it to.

I tell you what, you won`t go far wrong popping along to see James at Elite Cars fella, having a chat & seeing what he can do for you.

He`s not a bad chap really

I think he goes by the name of Preciousmetal

That's more than I paid for mine new, ok mine doesn't have a supercharger but still a lot.

Wait until you contact him. I've never seen so much text speak and so many exclamation marks used in an email before. He clearly knows nothing about these cars either.

I find it looks rather messy under the bonnet with that supercharger fitted and no engine covers.

Rapid GB! stop swearing around here!

If you buy that one make sure Roger or Walki give it a health check as the mapping can be interesting from them when they were alive and kicking.

So, best to avoid those fellas, huh?

Anyway, thanks for all the replies :-) I'll give that Elite geezer a call this week and see what's what.

If you like the car buy it as few and far between nowadays. As for Rapid, their out of action and the cars running so worth a punt so long as it's gets a health check.
Failing this one Preciousmetal is a good guy to deal with and will see you right but any SC cars he gets in go fast so best become friends with him or you will miss out as its not like these cars are common.

Mw Performance has some nice cars , & just because they are sort after at the mo stay clear of overpriced cars

Any garage or a spanner man with half a brain could check these cars over they are so basic in every way

Usual probs are Power steering pumps , rads, diffs ( usually on manual cars ), odd electrical gremlin , rear lights playing up , fast flash indicators , crank pulley separating

This^^^ and as there aren't many around, be prepared to travel.
