Does anybody know this vxr8??
Discussion
Just wondering if anybody recognises this car
http://www.parkwaymotorgroup.co.uk/used-car-sales/...
I went to view it yesterday and it drove well (from a short test drive in the wet) did have a few marks on it but nothing major
Due to the speciality of these maybe theres a chance somebody knows it?

Dealer has that where he thinks it will sell, no reason why it shouldn't sell for that money considering the prices some cars have changed hands for its not far off.
I'd agree with £18k for an LS3, but for the earlier engine? All power to the dealer for trying though. Maybe he will be more willing to be talked down, than a dealer advertising for a firmer £16k.Good to read a bit of history
Shame the price has gone from 13500 to 15750 all the way up to 18950
Unfortunately I have a px so going through a dealer, not in a rush so might hold fire and see if anything else pops up
Background research shows it had coilovers but don't think there on anymore as the ride height is quite high.

Prices are on the up for these cars, never many for sale but sure you can get a better spec car for the same money.Shame the price has gone from 13500 to 15750 all the way up to 18950

Actually had dealings with Parkway a few months ago to see if they would part-ex my lower mileage manual LS2 for an auto LS3 they had in stock.
They wanted £3500 their way, even though mine had over 10,000 miles less than theirs and wouldn't budge. Found that quite insulting and walked away.

IMHO Wait for one with the right Mods for about the same money Shame the price has gone from 13500 to 15750 all the way up to 18950

Yes a silver ls2 manual at 16500This parkway one was local to me so started with that, the caralot automatic has sold as I went down Saturday afternoon.

Similar mileage, similarly standard, a lot less money....

Getting the prices up would be a good thing for current owners. Used prices were skewed badly when GM went bust and dropped the price of the LS3 cars to 25k or so, in order the ditch stock quickly and convert to cash in 2009.
The new VXR8's are £54K (OK better spec than before) so why should the E1's be so cheap second hand?

What Gareth said above. It is the VFM per £££ and the lack of E3s for 2 years when the new price went to £49K has made E1's more desirableThe new VXR8's are £54K (OK better spec than before) so why should the E1's be so cheap second hand?
