Realistic or ridiculous ?

The recently sold RPM Mk1 Speed Yellow car that Slodge owned, had a price tag of £50K when SCoM retailed it initially, it didn't sell and was subsequently reduced to £45K iirc ? This car has a couple of thousand miles less on the clock and is a similarly "good" GT3 colour.

Worth £48K from a private vendor ?

In the slipstream of the others why not, low miles, strong colour and from my perspective hyping up the prices if I want to sell my Mk11 wink

Not ridiculous IMO but with no facilities that a dealer can offer it will sit there for a while.

If you're not bothered about selling your car, you can price it however you wish.

You are spot on Henry, although I sold for the same price I paid (ex dealer spread of course)! Beginning to think I should have asked for more, but didn't want it hanging around. I think if someone wants Red then perhaps they will pay close to that for it - supply and demand is now stacked firmly in the sellers favour. What a difference 12 months makes - when I was looking in August last year there were quite a few to choose from inc. 2 clubsports.

Whole used Pork market seems super hot at the mo IMO.

Cheers

seems expensive to me.........

It took Paul Stephens 18 months+ to sell their 23k mile GT3 MK1 Clubsport with a screen price of c.£45k, which reduced to nearer £40k at the point of sale. Admittedly, it was Polar Silver - which for some is not the most desirable colours, but it was a genuine M003 Clubbie.

Back to the RED car - good luck to the seller, if he's successful it can only be good news for fellow MK1 owners with good examples. But IMHO I think the realistic sale price will be nearer £40k than £50k

I like that.

But, would it need £10k spending on it...?

Coincidentally an advert has just come on the tv with John McEnroe shouting "you cannot be serious".

My thoughts exactly.

Sellers jumping on the bandwagon of hype that seems to be gaining speed by the day?

Maybe more! wink

Rubbish ad. I can see no reason why anyone would buy that car for anything close to the asking price.

How is that different to a market that's firming up?

It isn't, it's pretty much the same thing. However, what is different is how quickly markets can now change through Internet hype. And fall of course.

Pistonheads is a powerful tool now. Much more than people realise. Do you know all of the common posters on here and who they are?

Cynical? Moi?

Please tell me why anyone would buy this car when my similar mark 1 997 GT3 is better tech, 9 yrs newer and a similar price?

Totally different buyers. it's like saying "why would someone pay £35k for a 964t when they could have a 996t."

The price is ambitious for a private sale but the car looks lovely. I think low forties would be fair. The question a buyer needs to ask is "if I pass on this, how long will I have to wait for the next good one to come along". We've seen a few this last week but before that was a pretty long drought for decent colour/spec '6 gt3s.

Does it matter who heats the market and how?

Market forces by whatever means, that's if you're in the market.

For the same reasons why a 993 rs is more than double the price.
