I've got a wad burning a hole in my pocket and i'm very interested in this cracking cerbie..

[url] www.pistonheads.com/sales/110475.htm [/url]

Thing is, it's just outwith my budget by a couple of thousand, and i'll have to get saving for servicing and repairs!

Is it good value? Worth making an offer £2k under asking?

Cheers

Rob

I'd have had it if my budget would have extended that far. Don't think you can go wrong with Aggar.

Dont think theres any chance of getting that for 2K less. Its already a bargain & from a dealer its an absolute snip. Besides, I think someone else will pay the asking price soon enough

Snip of the season if you ask me and from a top cerb man to boot.

I suggest you find that extra cash and go for it before someone beats you to it!

Just to put it in perspective, Ive just seen a 4.5 2002 standard lightweight with 7500 miles,up at another dealer for 31950 wobble
so you can now see why this is a bargain. teacher GO BUY IT!

Nice bright blue, light interior, slight hint of a blue filter to make the colour stand out, all the good stuff already done.

Blimey that's really nice in a non red sense. I know it's 2K too much but you could ask James if there's any movement on price. I doubt he'll drop 2K but every little helps...

I bought my car very similar to yours for £26500 about 6 months ago although in my opinion mine has a nicer interior and wheels and is a red rose

top money for a top car

Been giving this much thought, i love the car, but having trouble justifying it (well ok, justifying to herself ). I realise it's good value now, so it's probably gone already and I'm now scared if i pick up the phone, it'll be on the drive within the week

Just be careful if your struggling to pay the asking price you may get in trouble when it comes to running the car. My last service cost £1250 but i did have the tappets done for peace of mind and had to fix a broken door button and a few other niggles.

But I love it

I meant 2K too much for his budget. I was encouraging him to go for it though

Hi Bindit

2 years ago I was in a similar position and ended up buying a Cerb with exactly the same spec as the blue one James Agger has for sale. I paid £35k private which can be a gamble but instinct told me the chap I got it from was one of the most genuine people I'd ever met and I was right. James Agger too has an impeccable reputation.
I still believe my purchase as an absolute steal. These 03 models are rare. I think by this year the Cerbera 4.5 was neigh on as good as it was ever gonna be, after all they'd had 7 years practice. Just as a price comparison check the silver one out here, I think you'll be suprised.

Have a long hard think about it but not for too long as It'll be gone.

Regards
Simon

I saw this one as well. I'm terrible I can never make my mind up on TVR's. I've had 7 in as many years, back to a griff from a Cerb and one minute I'm happy with the griff and the next I want to go back to a cerb (the Agger one is perfect) then I want to try something new like a T350 then I want to push the boat out and get a Tuscan 2S then I decide to stick with the griff and upgrade it. I suppose none of this matters as long as I don't start thinking about a Porker.

Yep the silver one is on the high side, but it does show how good the one from Agger is. Hell if I hadnt bought my 03 4.2 last week ,I would have had it myself hehe

Just checked James Aggers website and as expected it's sold. This car is one of only 7 2003 4.5's I know of, so you could say it is rare.

Better luck next time you must be gutted. cry

Regards
Simon.
