Surely worth more than that.
New tyres, £1000 stereo, TVR plate, Sports exhuast ???
I was asking 27.5k for mine until he/she put it up for sale! (The vendor also has a TT for sale due to baby arrival. Can't put my finger on it but something doesn't seem right about the ads.)
Not sure if it was the right thing to do but I've dropped mine to 25995.

Had a few emails but no luck so far.
Ah well, I can always board up the side windows and have the quickest works van around!

Both cars up for sale do seem very cheap, even more so with the TT!!!

I think the black T350 in the ad was one of the very first customer T350s, so it's possible it doesn't have all the latest interior upgrades etc. That could explain the low price?
As a potential T350 buyer, I'm only considering cars which have the latest spec, aircon, etc, and there are probably many more like me out there!

"Quite Scary !!!" for the trade! (maybe)
Lots of dealer cars on offer at 31-32k, or buy privately for 26k, that allows 2k for spec changes, and still allows the cynical buyer to leave 4k in the bank in case it ever needs a rebuild.
To the best of my memory there have been very few T350s on here that have gone pop.
J_S_G ran a very interesting S6 survey in the summer and is the man to verify whether I have selective memory (self interest/delusion/call it what you will).
I bought privately and the 4k I saved has covered 2k worth of servicing/tyres (6,000 & 12,000) and a lot of fuel.

Don't forget Benno and Flasher's cars had engine problems. Not sure how serious they were though.
One thing to think about when selling a car like this is that if you are in York or Cardiff then you're not in the centre of the customer base. I suspect there is a big SE bias to the TVR owner base. Of course people all over the country are buying them, but personally York is a long way to drive for a viewing. So the cars will need to be slightly keener priced to attract buyers. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the cars, its just that the owners live in a nicer part of the country.
Also, some of you guys seem in a hurry to get rid. January is not the best time for selling a car like this. When I had my Chimaera there always used to be moans on the forum about prices falling through the floor around about this time of year ... same reason. Some people were ultra keen to get out of the cars.
Saying that, as Fish says - his car was up nice and cheap and nobody went for it (mind you, how long was it advertised for? I remember an ad with a very short timeline in the text?).

what was yours actually advertised for? i didnt think it was as low as 27K, and although that is what you may have accepted, if it was advertised at 32/33k then most buyers of the kind you want would not be inclined to take the pi$$ with a -5/6k offer
I certainly have learnt from past experience not to overprice, and if I want 27K min would probably advertise for not more than £29,500 and be prepared to haggle...

Was seriously considering a 350 a couple of years ago (if only the sales man has been a bit more persuadable), but opted for a 355 instead for the same price as a new T350 then. Lost £4k on the 355 (with no major repairs or service bills) in two years - at these prices I'd have lost at least £16k if I'd opted for a 350.
At these prices the 350 will start attracting more and more buyers. Performance car bargain IMHO.
PS Love it in that black.
