Holy ****! Is that an extended ashtray!

That square dash is starting to grow on me.

I'd hit it.

Sorry, but way too much money. You don't want to know the markup on that car, over what he actually paid for it. Worth £3k tops, despite all the extras. He paid probably £500-600 for it.

 

[dude]

definately over priced no shadow of a doubt about it. might consider it if it was 5k

Why does the auction show 3 different cars? This auction doesn't smell good.

 

[dude]

he is sellin the other cars in other auctions, extra advertising? thats how i saw the pit crew one i asked him then he listed it

 

[the blue potato]

Very weird - ebay only allows selling one product (or dutch auction) per auction - why the 3 different cars? I have pics of that car and I recall it was from Japan - surely this cannot be the same car? Maybe so :|

 

[timallen]

Peter, he states in the auction that the car is in Japan awaiting shipment to the UK, so I think it is the same car.

I have to say that that car looks truly horrible with the PCR nose with the grafted in type 14 Karmann Ghia nostrils ... the Tuckin99 N2 flares don't go well IMO either :shock:

I reckon the seller may not even own the cars as they may be for sale in Japan still and he will buy the car and ship once the auction has ended

£10K is completely OTT and as Andy says the car will probably sell for under £1K in Japan ( add £1500 ish for shipping etc and that is one hell of a profit !!! )

that said when you add up the cost of the flares / nose / tail / interior / wheels / paint / fitting etc ... you are looking at way over £5K of addons alone

Reckon you might be right there.... http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084048081-category-leaf.html?f=&alocale=0jp&mode=1

I knew I had seen it before for sale somewhere !!! :wink:

that other more tastefil PCR car is VERY attractive at that buy it now price - if ther was more than a day running on it I would get one of my friends in Japan to arrange shipping on it and snap it up !

that is cheaper than buying and shipping the nose alone from Pit Crew !!!

That one looks a steal; some of the cars going for 15-20k yen are just junk.

... all I need to find now is V-Special with Pit Crew nose and tail with R S Aizawa or AE101 throttle bodies for YEN 300,000 in really good condition and I can start shipping !!!

Some of those prices show how easy ( in theory ) it would be to make a really good profit from selling a few cars - at least here in the UK
