458s aren't immune to what's been happening in the supercar market, think they're around £130k now aren't they? That probably means dealers are buying them for £115-120k doesn't it?

Of course, it doesn't really matter if you're not selling.

They have a white less spec car, 2012, 145k with 13k miles. Specification is key and based on the market I'd advertise mine privately what I paid for it, when I purchased mine bottom of market 458's were 110-120k advertised, that still seems the case now, unless your happy with an insurance write off or a car with no options.

2012+ Red, yellow, carbon interior, carbon buckets, forged wheels 10-30k miles are all in 130-160k region, advantage of mine is its a 2014 car and there were hardly any 458 Coupes sold on 2015 plates and not many more on 2014, it seems to make quite a difference in resale value.

But yes no plans to sell it anyway, but its certainly not lost 50k like other marques / models I was looking at.

Meh, I might be buying my mates 36 compact for skid duties. Your 46 wont be cheap enough to be a disposable side hoe.

What's your budget, I just need space for another project car.

Like £450.

But forget it, it looks like I'm getting the E30 back soon so doing more work on that will keep me preoccupied, and I can MOT it again so I wont need a spare car.

YOU will ALWAYS need a spare car!

He will have project car, spare for when that needs work, spare for when spare inevitably breaks down.

 

[MrKnifey]

Added another Transporter for works/biking duties

2013, 2.0 140hp, 4 Motion, KMC Holeshots with BFG All Terrains, VW Plastic Arch Trims and Rear Vents to give it the more off-road look

The E30 has never broken down in the 3 years I've owned it. Its always been amazingly reliable. Its obviously needed a tonne of work to fix wear and tear and rust etc, but it's never been undrivable and it's never left me stranded.

Starts first turn of the key every time, even after sitting for over a month. It's only off the road as it wouldn't pass an MOT, but it will have an MOT again soon.

I never said it had broken down but as you have stated it is not road worthy!

Ah but it will be soooon.

True reliability and dependability there

 

[wedrum]

i dare to think just how much you have spent on that E30.

 

[Akagi]

Just age related wear and tear. Got to remember its approaching 30 years old and is on 200,000 miles now.

It's half way through having all the rear subframe bushes done, as well as rear brakes, wheel bearings, hoses, and just about everything else attached to it, while it's out. When it's back together it will get MOT'd.

i dare to think just how much you have spent on that E30.

Tbh it's not as much as you may imagine. I'm about 4K into it including buying it and I've had it 3 years. Not bad considering the list of things I've done to it is astronomical. That figure will be considerably worse once it's been painted though. And I've just bought some AVO Monotube coilovers for it...

Lol, the lock kit alone is worth more than that.

Edit

@Acme Why you selling the boat btw ?

Which boat, the Celsior? Its long gone, got a V70R now. It was having electrical gremlins which I was tired of chasing.

Nice drive to the petrol station tonight!

Are you going to start using it for your daily commute all year round once it has its MOT? If not then I don't think any claims about its reliability are worth much!

It's really reliable since he never uses it.

 

[Vita]

Hybrid lyf.

 

[adam cool dude]

Nice Prius.

 

[Akagi]

I use it all the time... Just obviously not since the MOT ran out!

I dont commute in it, but I do drive it a few times a week, and at least once a month it gets driven several hours to car shows/meets. It has never missed a beat.
