That's very strong money £14k for "buy it now", and way over the top for a private sale.

10k - 11k is fair money for that, 12k about right considering the history and condition.

It is a very well written advert, comprehensive info and history and obviously a well looked after car, but I think his figures are slightly skewed. Hurst cars have a type UK with 32k on it & PPP for £15490, and although not as "original" as the ebay one, that's a dealer price and with probably some wriggle room built in, it is an 04 though so not widetrack.

Can't deny it is a lovely example but that really doesn't warrant such a high BIN price.

Still alot of dollar considering what 10 - 14k can get you nowadays, especially given that the car is 14 years old, it's not a million miles away from 2011 /2012 model territory.

With these UK cars, no matter how well looked after / nice they look in the pictures, realistically how long do you have now before the dreaded rust starts to break through?
I'd be putting similar money into a fresh JDM I think.
