Hi all,
Having received the information from OPC that my GT3 is eligible for a warranty due to it having been kept in the OPC network for servicing, I am contemplating doing this as I wish to sell the car.

Do you think this would make financial sense and add attraction to the car, if I were to sell the car privately?

I have started discussions with a dealer with regards to buying the car, but am contemplating my options.

Appreciate the advice in advance.

Thanks

Greg

I thought I would follow my question up with an outcome.

I am in negotiation on an Ultima LS7 so the GT3 must go. My wife will categorically not allow me to have six cars..

In the end, I don't think the OPC warranty works on the maths. My local specialist Indy wants to put the car up for £65k SOR, which is probably about right?

It looks like I can take £55k up front as opposed to the SOR which sort of works for me as we are also in the middle of a house move. Spending another £3k+ on the warranty and changing the Cups back to N rated PS2's doesn't seem that it will add any value and I wouldn't get my money back.

Thanks for all the advice, still running the 9e28 and a Cab so not without Pork!

Cheers

Simply I don't take the GT3 on track now.
I am keeping the turbo and wish to convert it into an RSR type machine. I am struggling to make 335's work on the back.

I also want a lightweight track car, but Mrs R is uncomfortable about open wheel Caterhams etc. The Ultima is easier on consumables and can still work hard on the straights. Plus I've bought an RS Veolocity trailer and will take family and track car on European holidays/track sessions. Well thats the plan in negotiation at the moment!
