£10750 for a '96 car!

Hope it's just the time of year and that this isn't a trend.

Just had a nosejob so he obviously gives it a bit of TLC (unlike the other recent apparent bargain Rosso Chimaera). Maybe he justs needs to sell and doesn't want to be messed about - this price is probably more than a main stealer would offer in p/ex, esp. if he's looking to get out of TVRs and going to say a BMW or Porsche garage.

Anybody here seen it yet?

Suspiciously cheap I'd say.

seems out of line with other prices. Recently I've been pl,easantly surprised at how the prices were holding up, but they may not be selling at those asking prices I guess.

Seems very reasonable to me if that is the actual selling price and not the starting price for negotiations.. as said, a Dealer would probably offer £9XXX for it.

Cheers,
Matt.

Mileage is the thing that seems to "kill" the value. It`s done 67,000 (nothing for a big V8 lump though) and of course the owner is after a quick sale.

Just managed to buy a 96 Chim with 37000 on the clock for just over 11K. Needed a new dash, a new roof seal and a servcie but other than that it's great condition. Bought it from a trader who picked it up cheap from a main dealer who got it as a part ex. Just a case of finding someone who didn't know what they are worth.

Damn too late, it's already sold. Anyone want to sell me one similar for the same price, I have the cash burnin' a hole in my pocket.
