Cerb Buyers Guide

[S1M VP]

Can't access PC and PH Mobile hasn't got the search function so can't search on phone.

Has anyone got an emailable buyers guide?

Going to have look at a sp6 this afternoon and wanted a checklist before I get all excited and forget to look at the important bits. Will be getting full inspection if it seems ok!

Thanks
Paul

Chassis condition - they can rust quite badly, but not all of them.

Electrics - check they work (today at least)...

And - the S6 engine - I have no experience of these things at all but would suggest that a careful inspection by someone who knows them would be advisable.

Good luck!

Thanks Jim,
Got access to PC now, but search function is down/being updated.
Had a Cerb & a Tuscan a few years ago and wouldn't normally have gone for a S6, but there's a story behind this particular car!
(Will post details once I have been to see her)
Thanks

Did I see your 911 Turbo in the classifieds a few months ago? Did you sell it?

Good Spot

I did advertise my 911 on here for a while assuming it was my car you saw (pic on my profile).
I listed it 2-3 times but kept getting dealers offering stupidly low money (£15k was one offer)
I didn't get one genuine buyer come and see the car!!!

Advertised on auto@rader and got 4 genuine enquiries in first day.
The first guy who actually came to see it bought it, so it's now flyin round London somewhere!
For £25k he got one hell of a car - it really was well loved!

Really was a great car and having used it daily for 5yrs would highly recommend - I just needed to raise money to kick off a new venture (e-ppl.co.uk) which has now started incredibly well.

Miss having a fast toy tho, hence looking to find another now back in a position to.

Cheers, Paul

buy a V8

I remember the ad. I was going to call to come take a look but was a little far from home and I couldn't resist the pull of another tvr.

Have been looking at V8 Vantages as it happens, but saw a Cerb come up that I had a deposit on 8 yes ago, but garage went bust the day before I picked it up .... So couldn't help going to take a look today.

TVRs do have a pull to them don't they, but wondering if the niggles will annoy me having become acustomed to Porsche reliability and those 420 horses punching me in the back.

don't knock the speed six until you've tried it
