Hi

Wanted to see if anyone was considering selling or aware of a T350C coming for sale in the next few weeks?

Don't have any preset views on mileage/engine replacements more keen to buy a good one which has been looked after. Test drove a 39,000 mile example and felt really good. Really looking for a conservative colour,silver/grey/black.

Will pay cash, currently looking in the 20-23k range

Thanks in advance

drive style and HHC appear to have dark gray T350c's in the ranges you have mentioned. there is also a red rose gray one on autotrader... no idea as to state of these cars though

Yep, I'd had a look at the one at the TVR Centre, only likely to be buying in a months time though (when I get my garage sorted) so wanted to see if anyone was thinking of selling around then

Now the good weather is here most people are planning to keep their TVRs for the summer driving - you missed the best time for buyers ;-)

If I were you and I saw a really good example I would get it bought, there are less and less coming on the market as owners realise they have a 'keeper' and will take their TVRs to the grave.

That Red Rose example at Trimar (TVR Centre) looks like a lovely example (the colour is a personal choice).

If you're happy with a particular car you see, and are buying from a garage, could you not put down a sizeable deposit on the condition you take delivery when you're ready?
As previous posters have said, we're now getting into the summer season and lots of people will be looking to keep their cars.
Those who decide to sell will be after top money now I suspect.

Good advice thank you, just arrived back from Dubai so am figuring I'll have to bring forward my search a little!

Hopefully have one shortly from the few that are out there currently

I'm always toying with selling mine to replace it with a Sag but I struggle to justify the extra 10-20k for a few wings 'n' vents! smile Maybe one day I'll crumble!
Every time I go for a blast I realise just why I bought it and how hard it'll ever be to part with it. All I can say is get out there and get one bought!

Haha leave it with me Diablo to think a little more. I maybe free the weekend after the bank holiday. I've been looking at Sag's and there's a few that take my fancy but I really am struggling with the hike in price over my T350. I don't doubt they are worth it because they sell, but that just makes me think T350's are such bargains!

Ok pal, I won't make any rash decsions until then, then.

If you do get a Sag and don't like it you can always get another 350 again, just not the one you gave me hehe

I've had a look at that one but feel it's slightly overpriced imo.

It's obvious you have spent a lot of money on her but she has done alot of miles.

You bought her when she was on 40k+ and then you have done another 20k. Different engines I know but still a lot of miles.

Hope you don't mind me saying, just my opinion of course.

No don't mind at all. I would hope people buy on condition and how well treated rather than mileage though. Mine's the most sorted t350 with the highest spec for sale.

Maybe, but a lot of that money spent would have been down to upkeep.

But your right many people would go for a car on condition rather than mileage.

Depends if your prepared to wait for the right buyer to come on.

Notice how that crystal topaz one was up for sale for less than a day!

Good car priced well.

That's just my thoughts anyway.

Instead of talking down prices in various threads why not just buy one? A cheaper priced car is always going to be better priced to a potential purchaser isn't it?
