Hi, I’m hoping that I can some advice regarding potential purchase of a 2005 Copperhead SRT10. It is advertised on Car & Classic website @ £45000. It has had one owner from new and has only done 10k miles. Described as immaculate.
That’s the good part. It has never been serviced and is currently sorn. The seller has agreed to have it serviced and mot’d within the price. Is it worth considering or should I walk away and find a serviced car with probably higher mileage? The Copperhead spec is nice but would rather have a sorted and (hopefully) reliable car.
Look forward to your thoughts.
Thanks

Difficult to make comparison price wise as so few for sale. Sounds like all the money, would be very tempted because of the spec / mileage but the lack of service history does worry me somewhat.

If you could ask around it would be much appreciated. Also if you know of any similar vehicles that may be for sale which may not be advertised I would be very interested in hearing about them.

The one advertised on autovillage has been on for a while. I did enquire about it, they said it was due in and would contact me when available. Heard nothing for a couple of weeks, emailed for an update but heard nothing back - if it looks too good to be true it probably isn’t.

I’m going to look at the one as recommended in above post over the weekend so fingers crossed.

Thanks for all input and I will post again when I’ve looked at the car.
