My RX8 is for sale. Want £2700 for it but will take reasonable offers. It's competitively priced.

I've had a reasonable amount of interest, and have invited PX offers because I fancy something different. Had the following e-mail today:

Naively I thought that there would be some cash coming my way. No:

Seller said:
it's value is between 2800 and 3200 in the condition and spec it has.
Now, it looks reasonably clean and unabused in the photo. But is the price well over the top?

Too much for a WRX. My Sti of that year is up for £2750.

Also you don't say what the milage is etc?

Yes, WRX owners are crack smokers, all of them. smile

And the '98 on model is a better car.

It *maybe* overpriced by a grand. If its been sat in a garage forever with 10 minles on the clock then actually its a bargain, if its done a squillion miles then its over-priced....need more info!
