You'll probably be looking at a 2.5, so make sure it's had the ECU and cooling upgrades done. Price wise around 27k private, 29k/30k from a dealer.

Are dealers selling them that cheap? I know you sold low for a quick sale, but pricing seems a tad pesimistic!

Yes, i happen to know a dealer that has a pair of 2.5's and will let them go for 28ish if you haggle.

For a straight sale, i was offered between 23 and 25, 26 or 27 for p/x against an M400.

Just looking for the first sub 50k M400 and i'll be back in the Nobility, been without one for just a month and getting withdrawal

Stuh, 28 grand in maintenance!!!!!! thats the first thing I've read that might put me off. Any chance of a rough breakdown and maybe you could also mail me with regards the dealer with the £28K cars? Thanks.

Luckily th 28k wasn't maintenance but the final sale price i got for it! I'll update the records as i don't want to discourage potential owners like yourself.

It was expensive to run but not THAT expensive

Talking of these early cars, when were the first GTO's delivered?

Mine is number 26 and is 2.3 years old if that helps.

Just one thing, on the maintainance records is lists a new 2.5 engine. What was the story with that?
