Yes. Compared to, say, this one-

The seller`s not exactly active on the forum. Have you had it inspected?

I just wondered why you picked my car out for comparison. It has done less miles, cheaper, better looking around car. But, you have to be cool to drive a yellow car ! ! !

Have prices gone up again. It seems a lot for a 98 with 43K miles?

On the plus side - only one posting indicating a problem...

I've used mine everyday for over 12 months, only let me down once (clutch slave cylinder)You can't beat getting into a cerb after a bad day at work, start her up and hear that exhaust!

Ooooo I'be be torn over those.

Both look well looked after and my 2 favourite colors. :lol

Keep having thoughts of selling mine to buy a red one, the red just doesn't have quite the same impact as the yellow though.

Id say given the recentl market on Cerbies, its a bit expensive considering the miles, but its always worth a look as price can reflect upon an outstanding example!?

Nice though yes

Its bloody cheap you penny pinching lot you!!!

Stop talking cerb pricess down, you should be talking them up rather than wanting owners to sell them for peanuts. These cars cost money to run and why should a seller not get some of his money back for what he has put in.

Shame on you all, go out and thrash yourselfs with an oily dipstick.

PS: Hi Scott.

I'd worry more about condition and how the cars been looked after, rather than a grand or two either way on buying price. It's more important to get a good one, I doubt either of these have far to go in terms of depreciation.

Both look cracking motors btw!

This looks a nice car lee. Some people have said it's a bit expensive (haven't you Dave ! - that's because you got a bargain ) but lets all hope prices have started to strengthen. But also bear in mind the following....It's only after at least 6 months of ownership that you will know whether or not you bought a good one. The work that he has had done on his one almost mirrors the work that I have done on mine in the past 9 months, and most of the things I have had done are what can be classed as 'normal' faults for a Cerb. i.e

Master Cylinder
Slave Cylinder
Radiator
New lights and lenses
Gearbox Rebuild (Being done at the moment)
4 New tyres

Total cost so far about £2000, plus another £1300 or so on a 6k and a 12k service including tappets. Total cost over £3k.

So buy a 'cheap' Cerb and then spend £3k on it and it doesnt seem so cheap does it. Buy an expensive one, or should I say a realistically priced one, that has had all the problems sorted, that's why we call them 'sorted' Cerbs , and it's got a grands worth of Nitrons thrown in, and you work out for yourself which is the better sort of car to buy.

Dont worry Mick, we'll make sure that no BMW drivers try to bully her or the Cerbie on this convoy if she joins us!!

We look after our own up this way laugh

At least it will be done and fresh as a daisy for when you get back!!

Im guessing you're already out in the sandbox then?

Yes mate in Baghdad at the moment then off to the Syrian border in a few weeks time. Weather is rather nice at the moment, just perfect cerb weather. Keep the white rose flying while I'm away.

Back to thread.

No such thing as a cheap cerb!
