Payco Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Weren't you sniffing around Cardiff's red GTR on GTR.co.uk last week I saw. Looks like an amazing car and price. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Was due to pay deposit for it, but after look into details in it, it has a unrecorded crash worth £12k repair bill, it's a stage 5 with time ticking bomb on the gearbox, needs building. I also looked at this: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=239&t=1605933 Quote
Ekona Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Personally, I'm not as enthralled by the G as I should be. The interior isn't what it should be in terms of quality, the engine doesn't make a particularly nice noise unless you spend £££££ on the right exhaust, and some of the engineering is horrific. It's spectacular to look at, but as much as I love Lamborghinis in general I think I'd rather have the 'Vette. What price are early Murcis now? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 £130k onwards... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/lamborghini/murcielago/postcode/ha90lh/radius/1500/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/quicksearch/true Quote
Ekona Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Ah just checked, they've snuck back up to the £100K mark. Shame. I know you were stung by the brand with the Cayman fiasco, but would a 997TT not be right up your street? Bulletproof engine in the Mezger, holding value, bonkers quick, plenty of stuff you can modify on them? Quote
coldel Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Yeah thought you might have to pull the plug on this. Such a shame its a beautiful looking car. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Not remotely interested in the Porker... Doesn't do it for me. I'll wait a bit more, see what's what. Quote
Ekona Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Get the Aventador, always a way of rejigging finances Quote
HaydnH Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 How about something like a classic British Aston with the aim of driving it a bit and selling on to an American car enthusiast? Would be a good time for Americans to buy and you could make a profit if GBP goes down further. If you can't find an American buyer then you'd be able to sell it later for about the same you'd bought it in GBP. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/aston-martin/classics/aston-martin-db2-4-mk1--1954/2369610?v=c http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/aston-martin/classics/aston-martin-v8-s/5829248?v=c Quote
Payco Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Good step away on the Cardiff GTR then Ady. Hope you get a decision sorted and a new car soon. Quote
Payco Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 TVR Sagaris Ady. Would be a perfect fit for you and going up in price. Quote
coldel Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 But its an Aston...mmmmm Aston. You can put a suit on and be James Bond. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 After you've been exploring the capabilities of a GTR and consider the low cost in comparison with other supercars, it's very, very difficult to go back to something else :cry: 1 Quote
coldel Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 But an Aston...you gotta own an Aston at some point... Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 As soon as I turn 75, I promise! Maybe the Vulcan by then! :lol: 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 What about the mp412c They are one he'll of a machine 1 Quote
HaydnH Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Not won the lottery yet I'm always surprised they're only £140k upwards, sounds pretty bloody reasonable for a McLaren to me! Not that I can afford it mind... Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Cheapest McL RHD is just over £100k! Quote
HaydnH Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 How about a scary cheese wedge? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lister/all-models/lister-storm-gt1--one-of-6-built--perfect-condition/3831981?v=c Quote
HaydnH Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Cheapest McL RHD is just over £100k! But you'd want the spider surely?!? Actually, there's a spider on Autotrader for £115K at present... hmmm... Quote
gangzoom Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Cheapest McL RHD is just over £100k! But I bet your would loss £0 in deprecation over the next few years...Especially given the way the £ is dropping. The net cost over 3 years will certainly be cheaper than what I've just done (brand new Tesla Model S order). Given the likely fall of interest rates to 0%, who knows, a McL might well turn out to be the best investment you can make. Edited July 6, 2016 by gangzoom Quote
