I don't really agree, the cheapest one on PH is £27k and the only cheaper one on Autotrader is the one that was first owned by the 70 year old lady. It's bounced around 3 different dealers for 2 years now with various issues. We know someone who was offered it as trade for £16k and turned it down.
If my mate's goes for around £20k I reckon it's a bit of a bargain-I can certainly see it at a dealer's for £25k and it selling-it needs zero spent on it.
Sure. If my mate's goes for around £20k I reckon it's a bit of a bargain-I can certainly see it at a dealer's for £25k and it selling-it needs zero spent on it.
I thought i'd spotted one on PH's at 22k but maybe i'm mistaken.
Whats the story with the one owned by the 70yr old lady ? I've just spotted it on AT
I had a look at the pics and yes its in amazing condition.
Watching with interest

That’s the 70 year old lady one, it’s still on AT although down as a private sale.They’re funny things to value. I can’t ever see them going stratospheric in price (but then who knows?) but they’ve definitely gone up. They settled at around £16k for years, then seemed to go up to early £20k, now?
Which one did you buy off CC?

This is the car I picked up last October. They’re funny things to value. I can’t ever see them going stratospheric in price (but then who knows?) but they’ve definitely gone up. They settled at around £16k for years, then seemed to go up to early £20k, now?

Full history will all receipts nicely presented in a folder . Has a stage 1 map too-

Yep, really nice example that one.
Cant stop looking at this now the colour is quite amazing. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2009-renaultsp...
Personally i think it sold pretty well. By the time the buyer has paid the £6k fee he paid £178,500. If Pancake was a dealer he'll need to advertise at £200k to allow some negotiating wiggle room and the VAT to be paid on the margin. Not a lot of profit left unless he ask way above £200k.
Really stunning car in Ferrari Yellow and i hope Richard was satisfied with the sale.

Who bought it ? Did it go to a dealer or punter did you see ? I had to leave when it was about to close at 155,500, supper time !
Pancake won it. Maybe he's a dealer or better still its a private guy.
I love watching the closing sales with CC's although in this instance it'd loved to have seen it go for north of 200 for the seller

Thanks, yes if that was a private buyer he’s done well. Main thing is that I hope the seller is happy, it’s very hard to gauge if CC is a good forum for such a specialist car. Maybe he's a dealer or better still its a private guy.

Exactly this. I'm guessing Pancake is a dealer but if i'm wrong and he's a private buyer then he bought pretty well. If bought by a dealer i still think he'll have his work cut out to make a worthwhile profit.Thanks everyone 
Going into the final stages of an auction with no reserve on a car of this value is certainly not for the feint hearted
I’m pretty sure the buyer is an enthusiast which is great as it’s an epic, cherished car.
I think he got a decent deal and I’m not unhappy with the sale price - I thought it was worth a bit more compared to the competition, but I was obviously wrong. As I say, I’m happy enough and really hope that the new owner is delighted with the car and enjoys it as much as I have. It’s a brilliant example mechanically, condition wise and also in terms of it’s provenance - I’m going to really miss it but luckily I have a free half share in seawise’s car.
In terms of price - if Ashgoods thought it was worth £k178 inc costs - they’d want to make at least £k6; so £k 184 - maybe retail start price of £k189 & that’s Ashgoods - remember most would take much more (& market for more) so at £k 178.5 inc fees, I think it’s a really good buy.
This is why CC is so good - it does it’s job very efficiently, cheaply and importantly quickly.
Also, it gets to the right price of a car at that particular point in time. Seller gets more than they’d get if selling to a dealer (if they need the money quickly) and buyer doesn’t pay anymore dealer margin than 5% or £k6 max - it’s a brilliant business model and in time, will change the industry beyond recognition.
I’d recommend and use them again - very impressive modern, business.

The Litchfield suspension development Yaris made £41,500 for the seller on Collecting Cars auction site tonight. The buyer pays another 6pcnt on top in fees. So that auction site certainly is getting the views !
Have to say I thought that was an amazing price - £k6.5 overs inc Litchfield stuff for an 800 miles car - amazing RSVP911 said:

I think you did pretty well all things considering. AS you quite rightly say the sale process CC employs is extremely transparent and very quick.!Going into the final stages of an auction with no reserve on a car of this value is certainly not for the feint hearted

It has garnered a well deserved rep for selling specialist cars in a market usually dictated by sharks, so good luck to them and i wish them every success in the future,
