Optimistic pricing - V6 UTE

[ArnieVXR]

This looks like a smartened up version of a red V6 that was advertised a little while back for £5K.

While it looks very nice, I really can't see anyone paying £9,999 for a 2001 V6 UTE. The word "dreaming" springs to mind...

After buying it he spent fortunes on it , as the previous owner had not looked after it at all

Prob owes him 12k+

Ha - sounds a bit like this guy who bought an HSV VT2 GTS on eBay for £3K...

Will make mine look good if I sell it!

That's a crying shame, but is really not a problem that can be passed on to the next owner.

Or an HSV GTS VT2 that's had a low mileage engine fitted, fully refurbished APS, new PAS, new A/C condensor, etc for £?????

I know what you're saying, but I think there's a difference between paying to get a vehicle up to scratch, and paying for improvements, when they still make the car cheaper than the market for Bathurst S's. Is the forged and charged car worth £33k? I'm not sure - but it makes more sense than a Bathurst S at £35k to me.

Really, if you put a load of money into a car, you should then keep and use it, to mitigate what you have spent.

A Bathurst will always be worth more in time , its a ltd edition flagship not a standard car full of bits

It has improvements , Vxr seats, Maloo rims , ally rad & few other bits

Seats & rims cost you £1500 makes the ute with standard bits 8400 not so bad then

All a bit siubjective really I think rare cars are like art - they will sell for whatever someone would be happy to pay for it!
