New to TVR Buying TUSCAN - Some advice? V2 UPDATE
Discussion
Hi guys,
After my previous posts during the last couple of weeks, I am proud to say that yesterday I purchased a beautiful TVR Tuscan 2001!I would like to thank everyone of this forum for their advice and knowledge, absolutly fantasic!
The most thanks however must go to Rob Ingleby from www.findasportscar.co.uk (also recommended by people on this site). He drove 4.5 hours to see the car, arrived before me so I was not waiting around, and from what I could tell inspected the car to a standard I had never seen before. He was honest and open on his opinion, and as it turned out the only real concern was the front discs and pads.... Not only this but he then took over haggling with the dealer and completly destroyed him with his expert knowledge and got the price from £16,995.00 to £15,600 in no time. For his time I thought the price was real value for money!
Lastly, I had concerns about buying one because of the possible ongoing expense.. I can safely say without doubt even after driving only 100 miles that I would (if required) sell my kidneys/liver/sister/girlfriend/body to keep it on the road. What a car! Wow!
Thanks guys (and gals)
Alex.
