Wrong time of year, interior to to everyone's taste and possibly still overpriced?

Agree and i think it could be bought for £80k not to bad for a 2010 car with 3k miles .

Every time I see that advert it always makes me wonder why more people don't have the carbon louvres painted. Looks far nicer painted imo.

Really. Could be one of the reasons it wont sell.

Looks like a stunning car for someone who happens to like the interior.

Personally the interior leather colours and lack of lightweight seats would be what would put me off.

Silver with painted louvres is to my taste however but I imagine most would prefer the contrast with unpainted louvres.

I agree George.

Oh heck, that's the second time I've agreed with you about something. Don't let Jockman know hehe

As you are all probably aware, I jog around in a 2010 model V12V, titanium silver with matched pained louvres. If you like them painted, cost you GBP300 or so. If you dont, get a new set of clean CF ones for GBP1200. If I was in the market again, I would look at this car seriously.

However what would put me off? Well:-
1. Buying this car from an Indie - a big factor but not insurmountable.
2. Most people who buy a car like this would be upgrading from a V8V or an up-end Porker. Perhaps PX deal is not attractive.
3. No idea of the FAMSH or V5 history.
4. Bells and whistles associated with 140 point check etc...

Otherwise not a lot else to stop me.

Just goes to show-I love the interior

and the exterior

Not a huge fan of the wheels but sure that could be sorted

I wouldn't want either the exterior colour, or the interior, but each to their own.

I do like the painted louvres though.

Does seem like a really good price for a 2010 car.

Head out of the sand guys. No matter how much we postulate, our residuals are low as snail st at the moment. That is one hell of a car for the money, however you dress it up, any minuses could be rectified for a couple of grand.

Worrying but unless you want to sell, continue driving and enjoy.

I think balance will be restored come the Spring. Just MHO

The interior is quite nice. Comparable with similar Ferrari or maser interiors and much nicer than the dull Porsche interiors!
