Proper car for sale at last

If my maths is any good, that's £56,350 the new owner will have to pay for it, just slightly more than double your estimate Seany ;);)

Better get my insurance value updated :eek:
 
The VAT is only paid on the 12.5% fee, not the car, so JK's figure is correct.

It's a lot! :eek:

Yours going up for auction soon then Jonathan? :p

My only defence is that I was the only one of the armchair experts here to have boldy stated a figure.:p

Good news though.

Perhaps people are realising that these are cars of a finite quantity finally !
 
To Slow with my typing well I have done it so I might as well post it

So the initial £49000 does not have vat on it so you only have to add buyers premium £6125 then vat on this £1225 making total of £56350 not £70000
So I would have a spare £13650 in my grubby mits I wonder what I could buy with that

So a paint job and some vinyl stripes and sign writing bumped up the price by nearly £15 k...wasn't the same car up on eBay in plain paint and it hit mid 20k.:unsure:

Congrats to the new owner :cheers:

I don't think it's the paint or the stripes, I think it's selling it through the right format. eBay isn't the right place for this sort of car now.

I'd absolutely beg to differ on that particular point.

Unless you think a car with a similar spec but no 'Samuri' look could achieve a similar figure in the same (auction) environment?

I totally agree and have said so previously. People get carried away at auctions when they can see the car and 'in the zone'.

I was told that about my blue car - it was too cheap on ebay. I consider it to be a better car (spec-wise) than that sold today, of course it's rust-free too.

Although it's great for us who own Zs it's getting ridiculous for 'would-be' owners - like houses!

Totally agree Alan, that car has sold for a ridiculous amount of money probably because its painted in Samuri colours. Many people think there is something very special about a Samuri & would pay a very high premium to own one :confused: The car I have now is far superior to CHL the Samuri I used to own. Its one of them mysteries in life to me, how many of these Samuri's are the real deal ? also I see some more have been produced in recent times :confused::confused: Its all b******t is'nt it.
All I can say good luck to them fools with more money than sense.

I agree with you Alan - the Samuri effect brings the dosh. I'm not knocking it, it's just the way the world works - image is everything.

And the car was 'bull'd-up' in the press beforehand. It brings in thousands!

OK for those of us not totally tuned in

Was this car an accredited Sam or was it a normal 260 painted up to resemble same?
