New or Used? Help me decide...

[arwebs]

I've recently started looking at buying a used T350C but I'm starting to wonder whether getting a new one specced up how I like might be the better option.

Could someone please tell me what the current list price is at the moment and how much different options cost (leather bits, reflex paint, air con etc) and what's worth having (or not). I could ask the dealer tomorrow but I'm a bit excited!

Cheers
Andy

Lots of the dealers have pricing info on their sites - many advertise here - click the 'list of advertisers' link at the top of the page.

I think TVR have the info on their website too - bit out of date last time I looked. They have a basic car configurator.

you will be looking at, at least 43k once you include A/C,paint,leather,etc
You definately can't beat a new car specced to how you want it providing your prepared for the big deprication hit.

Arwebs,

You asked for advice/opinions so I suggest you look at the following thread

[url]www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=86267&f=13&h=0[/url]

Although this thread relates to a Tamora, which is not as popular as the T350, I would still suggest buying second hand just to let someone else take the initial depreciation hit and sort out the inevitable niggles.

If you can get a fully sorted second hand T350 with a couple of thousand miles on the clock, you could save yourself upto £10K.

On the other hand, you cannot beat the feeling of taking delivery of a new car and running it in gently yourself so you'll have to make your own decision!

Either way, if you have half as much fun as I'm having in my (2nd hand) Tamora, you won't regret it.

I'll be selling mine at pistonfest to make way for the Typhon if you can wait that long...

[arwebs]

I think it's going to be used. I can just about handle not getting the exact spec I want but at least it'll be cheaper

Going to look at a few this weekend

You could do a lot worse than take up Fish on his offer. His is a corker and that was BEFORE he had a full respray and several other fixes/mods.

Of course, he's ordered a Typhon though so expect some hard bargaining on the price
