Show Us Your Motors!

The same way I got my last one for £4300 tbh. I've spent the last few weeks spending ages looking at ads for Cayenne Turbos, F01 730ds, Mercedes CLs etc etc calling about any ad that looked interesting. 99% of them were crap / overpriced / being sold by morons. Just so happened that the first one I got lucky with was the same as my old car. The advert was really poor with just a couple of lines of description and no photos, on the phone the seller said he'd have to sell it to WBAC if it didn't sell soon, I did a quick check of the WBAC price (£3750) mentioned they'd probably knock him down as it was due a service and had a few scratches on the wheels, and offered him £4K which he accepted immediately.

FWIW, there's plenty available on the internet for less than £7.5k, but if I was to sell it in the U.K. I'd expect to get £6k as an absolute minimum.
 
Petition to change geekman's avatar to this?

Haha, nice one Vox!

This should be a new avatar to celebrate the new forums :)

Geekman, presumably you should just sell it for ~£6.5K in France then, come back, find another one and keep doing the same. £2.5K (less travel costs) in your pocket for each trip home & back is a nice little bonus!
 
I would be honoured to have that avatar :p

I have thought about buying and selling frequently, the main issue here is the taxes - the French would tax the air you breathe if they could and as my taxes (or lack thereof) are currently done through Monaco getting extra earnings in France could raise some awkward questions.

And Housey, it's going to be doing 900 miles in 1 day in a few weeks so I'll soon find out if it's a good one or not :p

I haven't seen one for years. That's why I asked. Such a unique purchase but quite a strange one too.
 
I can remember back in 1995 that my teacher got a brand new one of these. It looked so fabulous in a car park full of MK4 Escorts and Rover 213's. Hasn't aged very well though.
