350c on classifieds

Does anyone know why this car was sold at what looks like a very low price ?

[Grey Ghost]

I saw it on the classifieds as I am keeping an eye on T350's with regard to prices, rebuilds etc and it appeared and sold in about 24 hours from memory.

If I had the cash to hand I would have paid the full asking price and collected the same day if it came back HPI clear.

My guess is if a lucky buyer hasn't snapped this up it will probably appear on a dealer forecourt with a sizeable mark up in a week or so.

That's a seriously low price!!!

Not surprised it's already sold

Yes, I noticed it, guessed it was a distressed seller situation.

Very cheap!

If you read the description he had another car due. My guess would be he was selling it at a little over a part-ex price hence the low price. Someone that can obviously afford to sell way below true cost in order to move on with his cars I'd say.

My thought is that whoever bought that 350c is a very fortunate person !

I think you are spot on. When I was looking for a T350 this happened to me. I booked an appointment with the seller to see the car at his earliest convenience but then the seller emailed me back later to say that it had sold before I got a chance to see it. The buyer happened to be a dealer who did not even view the car before snapping it up. Dealer's can afford to buy on price without inspection since they have the service facility. And yes, it was back in the classified the following week with a big mark up at current market price.

Did that happen to be a spectraflair silver/blue colour, on an 04/05 plate? Think it had slight paint damage where the owned put Le mans stickers on.

I ask as I was looking at that one but then sold to a dealer who then put £5/6k mark up on.

That one was Crystal Topaz Blue
