Thinking of selling my T350C

[Hoolio]

Regrettably and due to a change in circumstances I am considering putting my Skye Silver (dark grey) T350C up for sale.

Spec;
Late 03 model 3.6 engine
Full engine re-build to latest spec (carried out by STR8 Six) currently being done therefore will be covered by warranty
New clutch (being put in with the new engine)
4 recent Toyo tyres
Mullberry red leather interior
JP Sports exhaust
Air con
Nitrons all round

I have spent a FORTUNE on this car since I have owned it - all bills etc. Full service history (Racing Green, Fernhurst, APM).

Question is, what is it worth?

If you're interested, drop me a line.

Cheers

Despite what you may have spent I think it is probably worth slightly less than you paid for it (as per your profile).

Car has done 26k
New engine - 0 miles
Tyres - about 1500 miles
Nitrons - about 4k

Don'nt like being the bearer of bad news but I think the price will need to be low to sell. I was following the market for T350's for a few months and 2003 cars with circa 15k miles were hanging around at £20-£22k. Bearing in mind your car has covered 26k on engine no.1 and people are never keen on cars that have had new engines (originality is a priority for most) I would hazard a guess at about £18k if you are serious about selling. I hope you can get more but I would be suprised when you look at what else is on the market. Good luck!

Personally I think you will get trade bids in the region of 12k. Private add about 3k-5k. This is from experience of selling my t350 recently.
Its a buyers heaven at the moment.
Good luck.

Disagree on the new engine comment. This is a major plus point on any Speed Six car. Suggest the seller gets 1k miles on it sharpish and sorts out the first service. Otherwise its going to be hard doing test drives and showing the performance.

I might be interested in the car. Have sent you an email

[Toobin]

Yipee you can join me in buying an RS4 then

I think you'll find with the years wear and tear warranty and new engine + nitrons + Tyres plus the fact its in A1 condition you should be able to ask a premium.

Looking at the classifieds they seem to be shifting for £20 - £25k without any of these things and yours is a blinder...

Good luck dude

Dont sell it, its sounds like you have fixed every problem you could have had, keep it, love it look after it.

Dont sell a rare car that you have spent £1000's on, just look after her.

I have freinds with Porsche's /Ferrari's and other performance machines they spend far more than I ever could on my T350C

Perhaps for the TVR enthusiast and assuming the work was done by a leading TVR engine fitter such as TVR Power. For general buyers though a 26k mile car with new engine fitted goes against the value.

I have to disagree as well one thing that attracted me to my car was the fact it had just had an engine rebuild although at 12K, as well as Nitrons and an upgraded exhaust.

lol. it might be. I'm only selling as I am gonna be out of the country for 12-24 months so not much point nobody enjoying it. If I was staying the car would be going nowhere.

David,

Do you have any more pics available? Not suggesting I'm a serious buyer for one minute, but I'd like to have a look. Stuck between an M3 and a T350 at the mo, but won't be buying for a month or two (house sale).

Cheers.

[theclawxxx]

Yeah, whats your e-mail i'll send you all I have and can take more of other parts if you need.
