Yes Sam's very please with the result. Glad to hear he's replacing it with a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale.

Mental. If anything it would put me off!
Agreed but with Sam's car I think it was a positive, he is a really decent guy who also really takes care of his cars and his invoices with AV Engineering will be thousands upon thousands spent, he also had a back to bare metal respray so though it was approaching 60,000 miles I suspect mechanically and aesthetically it may have been as good if not better than cars on less than half the miles.

Would I paid 75k for the car, no as I'd still rather a lower mileage example, but good luck to the new owner and enjoy it.
Oh! I see. Just saw the video posted above so yeah, I'd trust it a bit more. Still wouldn't pay that amount for it but conceded that I wouldn't have been put off buying it in this case.

I'm being cynical but how have you deduced that he's a "really decent guy"?

There are hours and hours of heavily edited footage of him online where he makes a living out of it but with that comment I'm assuming you know him personally?

Not that uncommon these days, a friend sold his 430 Coupe for £60k last month.

Another cheap F430 just sold today. 37k on the clock and recent service. £54k is a bargain.

jesus, that's insane to think it's £17k cheaper than a new c43 mercedes.

these are really coming down to the level where enthusiasts can have a fun time and drive them lots and enjoy them

As I mentioned above my friend sold his last month for £60k. It was a very nice example with FFSH, 27k miles. Religiously maintained. This seems to be the level these days

Guess they hoping to get lucky, or holding out for Spring.

If I was looking to buy, any car which looked good I'd view and then make an offer, they don't accept, simply walk away as more cars will come to market and with more supply than buyers, there will be some sellers who will either price to sell or accept an offer.

Market is slow so as a buyer be aggressive and patient.
As a seller either price your car right, or be prepared to sit on it potentially for many months.

I agree.

That said, are you talking about viewing a car that's on the forecourt for £80k and offering £52k?

No, I'd expect to be told where to go, generally speaking any offer should always be no more than 10-20% below the asking, depending on how well or poorly priced it is and of course condition.

If you view a car and the specification is amazing, the condition is superb then as a buyer you also need to be fair and realise what the seller has and as the saying goes if you find your dream car would you really want to risk missing out on it for potentially a few quid.

If a car is grossly over priced, I would not even email them, I suspect this is why so many cars sit around for months because when they are priced miles out, any potentially buyers will just totally dismiss even dropping an enquiry.

Market is on the move, downwards, if people want to sell their cars they need to be setting their sell price correctly, unless they have something truly rare and collectable, otherwise its a competitive market.

Ah right, just checking. That's pretty much my thinking and how I've done things, hence not made any enquiries.

Looks like the chap that paid £75k for STG's 360 got such a bargain
