Yes, rip off

[Sarnie]

£36k!!!!! If he reduced it by £20k he might be able to sell it

[Guest prescience]

10-12k I reckon 20k would b a bargain

[Sarnie]

What do you mean 10-12k? Its up for 36k

[janoof1]

hahah

these dealers have to be retards!!!!!!!!

firstly they have overpriced the car by nearly 20 grand ,but amazingly it gets worse, look closely at the flash animation of the pictures, look at the background and the two trees, -the background never changes but the car is spinning round , so these mongs actually moved the car for each external angle-instead of err walking round with the camera!!!

OMG T W Whites up to their old tricks again trying to pretend to Jo Public that they have special edition exclusive cars for sale without saying that all they really are are cheap imports .....

 

there were a lot of 'interesting' reports over on the UK RX8 forum about this lot.

 

[neo]

way way over priced

[Sarnie]

It looks a bit chavvy with those rims and spoiler I don't think the nismo spoiler suits the roadsters fat ass. Saw one with a oem coupe rear lip and it looked

But perhaps they'll give you a good cash deal for your car?

[polarbear]

They don't appear to be able to count either - no way are those 17s

No ta

[Stew]

Some muppet probably would pay that....

[SimonD]

Just to add tho that this is a brand new car, so it happens to be an import but the whole idea of the car being sold for under 20k is a little unreal don't you think?

 

How much would it cost for a new 06 Roadster that's fully loaded?

 

Also note what is included.

 

Tiptronic, ABS Brakes, Power Steering, Central Locking, Climate Control, Electric Windows & Mirrors, Immobiliser, Alezan Orange Leather, Electric Heated Seats, 6 Disc CD & Radio Cassette, 2 x Airbags, 19â€

Ive read the spec, and all I can see that it has over a UK spec GT pack is:

 

The wheels, the bodykit and a reverse park camera.

 

A new UK roadster would be approx £30k.

 

But then that would have (over the car shown) A UK warranty, A stereo that is not in need of a Band expander, (or would have a factory fit stereo)

 

Someone would need to be off their rocker to pay £36k for that.

 

I reckon a decent price for it would be £22k given its import status\lack of warranty.

[Nick_MSM]

Must be a typo surely? I would say if it really is brand new, then it's worth 24k-25 max. Check prices on the trader and a lot of dealers are asking £21-23k for a half decent JDM roadster.

[Sarnie]

You wouldn't catch me paying anywhere near £20k for a JDM anything

But do these include the Nismo kit or 19" wheels? Don't forget this is a brand new car with full Nismo kit.

 

I really can't understand why people are so against the price of this, sure it's a bit pricy but perhaps by no more than 3 - 5k surely?

[Rob_Quads]

You have to remember that JDM prices plummet pretty quickly. Have a look at similar JDM 2yr old cars. If they are even going for 18K which I think is the most they would do, £20,000 loss in 2 years is just not feasible. Putting it closer to the 26K would be more reasonable but still pushing it with around a 10K loss in 2 years.

 

There is also the question of how much would it cost me to do it all myself and just import a brand new car. I bet it would not be far off the UK price but not that much more.

[get12]

ah-good old TW White - they specialise in importing MX5's so you can see the connection there and yes they are muppets - I originally (about 5 years ago), was going to purchase an imported MX5 from them (for my sins) but pulled out at the last minute as I thought the car overpriced at the time, plus I was not happy with the fact that the speedo had not been converted over to MPH. Anyway, I had put down a £500 deposit as part of a credit agreement for the car, and they refused to give the deposit back until I quoted a paragraph from the Credit Agreement Act that had been dug up from the advisors at the Consumer Direct helpline!

worst bait for a wind up, ever!

 

Its simple - 36k is not the value of that car, 24k is - even with that list of specs.

 

Also it is not the revised engine. So what if it has Tiptronic etc, as mentioned, its an import and worth less as a result. The nismo kit and wheels are only worth about 2k as an option fit. Insurance WILL be higher for it too, no warranty (manufacturer) and what happens when the tiptronic fails?

I like the "when" as opposed to "if" re tiptronic failure Is this likely to happen?

[Liam's Z]

Them wheels are lovely.... well worth 36k imo

to be fair all failures and issues I've ever read about, are on the manual transmission... the tiptronic seems to be a very good gearbox, also froma driving point of view. I had a go in one, and felt really good
