Is this the first 2nd Griffith over 30k? They're having a laugh aren't they? It might be a nice example but 32k???????????

Anyone who has a low mileage Griff I would advise you to park it up now and sit on it for a few years! You're sitting on a nice little nest egg.

Those Dealers are haveing a Laugh!!!! And i really dont like that Colour Combo , the trim colour is Hideous , but theres bound to be someone daft enough to pay their ridiculous asking price. But as Fuel prices GO UP UP AND UP , will Griff prices Crash ?

This looks awfully similar to the SE that has just been removed from the Pistonheads classifieds. It was up for £26,995 if I recall correctly. Fernies do seem to sell a lot of Griffs, but you can't help but wonder if their high prices are the result of them buying all the late/low mileage examples that come onto the market. There is no doubt that this is a rare car, but the unusual colour scheme and the asking price of other SE's recently advertised suggests that £32k is too much.

Just to add, if I'm right and this is the one from the classifieds then Fernies have changed the wheels. They were OZ split rims which makes this price even more of a piss take.

Ahhh... Actually I thought 'nice car, nice spec/colours (sorry, I'm not into Ronald McDonald interiors) but where are the split rims?' hehe

This is really annoying me. I like the chaps at Fernies and nearly bought a Griff from them. But this is blatent profiteering. I know they have to make a profit, but this is taking the piss. I have been umming and erring between Fernies and Racing Green for my next service. This has just made up my mind for me.

Re Dealer piss take , a nice e-type Roadster ( Lovely Colour ) was sold on here recently for only 12k , 2.5 k below asking price. The buyers (a Dealer), put it up for 22,995 , it sold WITHIN days . THATS WHAT I CALL TAKEING THE P . The previous owner much be absolutely sick.

£32k is a bit steep, especially with that awful interior and what look like 15" Estorils on the front. Sure it'll be a good car though.

I don't see anything dodgy here? Dealer buys car for lower price and sells for higher, it's up to people to choose to buy from dealers. It's all very open as a buyer can compare prices easily.

Compared to other practices in the motor trade to be wary of, this to me is really isn't an issue.
