If it's the car I think it is, yes it is very cheap, but not half as cheap as it was a few months ago... (Sold for about £12k if memory serves me correctly)... Bit messy, from what I have been told.

Decals are in the wrong place - they should be on the fascia not the hood!

Hello all.
Ive been trying to stop myself getting more interested in this car, perhaps you can help me.
Is the suggestion from what you are saying that there is something wrong with it?
The cynic in me assumed there was something wrong with it to be so cheap but the eternal optomist in me hoped there might be a bargain to be had.
Can anyone shed any more light on it?

From the photos we have seen, we have identified a few 'issues', things which aren't right, such as the front badge being in the wrong place, and a few missing parts, but without checking out the VIN, and without knowing a little more about the car by performing a Carfax if it's American and an HPI to cover it's time in the UK, we can only guess from the issues we've mentioned earlier that the chances are that it has some history. It's difficult to say, but having said that, at £11k it'll be miles of smiles, and the issues we have mentioned can easily be sorted.

If it was me, I'd do some digging before I bought it. Try and get the VIN number and some history of whether it's a UK car or been imported from the US, then come back to us with the info and we'll try and find out some more for you.

I think this car's OK although the dvla have it listed as being 8200cc and they got the vin number wrong putting a 5 instead of an S in digit location 10 which relates to the year of manufacture. Car started its life in Pennsylvania then moved to Texas in 2003,it had 4 owners in the US and was exported to the UK on July 14 04. Last recorded mileage was 31664. I'd go for it.
