340R

Post by craignicol » Tue Aug 06, 2013 3:57 pm

Hi Everyone!

Haven't been on here for a while......didn't know if I was welcome after selling my Exige!?!
Been considering a 340r and was wondering if anyone knows why this car has been for sale for SO long?

Looks like a good un-molested example. Thats what I would idealy like. Original as possible. (Although the wheels will need to go, easy fix though!)

Any advise and/or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
BMW 123d (Monday to Thursday)
S2 Exige S (Sold)
Porsche 911 C4S (Friday to Sunday)
Caterham 7 JPE (A few minutes everyother weekend)

Think it was damaged/repaired. Being exported it lost this status so no record of the damage?

Craig is this not a better bet as Will only seems to take clean cars with history

:withstupid
Was just about to post the same thing, no doubt an easier transaction than importing a car and it already has the right wheels. :thumbsup

I am fairly sure (although would need to check) that this car was a CAT D damaged car. IIRC it was advertised for sale with 3 different types of wheels on it, and someone bought it and put these wheels on, and was selling at the time for £16k or similar. Its never sold and steadily price has crept up. This was at least 3-4 years ago.

They have a CAT D Sagaris which is exactly the same. Was previously low £30s and they gradually ramped up the price as the years have gone by and its still unsold.
