if i had the cash

[fogman]

id defo be tempted with this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-Vauxhall-Fro ... 286.c0.m14

[BadBoy]

Unless the engine is gold plated, I think the price is about £1200 to much

[gregster]

Price is a bit steep...even as a really low mileage one (which often isnt such a good thing...machines need to be used or deteriorate!),
Drivers seat seems to have a fair amount of wear for low mileage...but then it could genuinely be stop start miles that mean more getting in and out per mile...
I would say £1000-1200 if the mileage is genuine...a little bit less if not sure...
I bought a n reg 2.8 lwb off ebay with 80k for £650 about a year ago....

It might be worth keeping an eye on it just in case. After all, the one I just bought started out at £2000, then he dropped it to £1500, then he dropped it to £995, then AndySD1 told him to sell it to me for £550

[gregster]

Gold plated fronties spring up everywhere....

My mate normally has at least one on his car lot....
Normally a reasonably late one, finished in one of the nicer colours but in really good condition...
He overprices it, but puts it in amoungst a load of disco's and shoguns of around the same year so it is cheaper but still a 4x4...

You would be amazed how much he gets for them like this....people look at all the 4x4's, and choose the bit cheaper one that is a nicer colour....and he rakes in the profit cos he's just sold a 4x4 worth a grand for £2500!!!

You gotta try havent you!!

[fogman]

im happy with my fronty anyway but it did seem pretty good at 1st thought but as usual after some wise words it probably isnt such a good buy afterall,

[Dave_RAYNET]

to me no matter how good it is, how clean, tiday and low mileage it is my mind screams out NO!! to spending £2k on a 14y/o car...

[furball]

You could email the guy and offer him £800 maybe? Unfortunately email doesn't quite have the same effect as two blokes turning up in owners club t-shirts

[Drift]

You missed out "Ugly" in that sentence
