You could of bought a right hand drive 8k low owner car for less money last month.

The black left hand drive car can be bought for less with half the miles, it’s been for sale for a very long time.

It’s being advertised over here as they can shift it in a lhd market for £108...

Dreaming asking price IMO

I knew you would mention that cheap white one that the opc flogged!

It's still a great looking car irrespective of price etc

Green has to be the ultimate RS colour surely

Why are you referring the white one as cheap, the car was auctioned off as it couldn’t sell privately. There were a number of parties bidding on the white one and it sold for what people thought it was worth. It had plenty of interest and I actually offered to purchase the car before the auction and silverstone failed to come back to me with response of if they would sell it or not. I think they thought the car would make a lot more than it did.

In my personal opinion green would not be a colour I would purchase, but everyone has different preferences.

60k miles is also considered as high mileage for a gt car let alone a gt rs.

GT4RS - I'm not sure how you define 'a number of parties bidding' but I was one of them and there seemed to be only one other.... I guess 2 is technically 'a number of'!

I'm also not sure how you define 'plenty of interest'? It didn't even manage to reach 90k (the guide was 110-120k) in the auction itself and only sold post the auction.

Well it is clear from what you said that there was a number of parties interested on the day in the car and I was one of them interested before the day. So that’s a minimum of 3 that we know about. Like I said, before the car went to auction I expressed my interest and asked if I could of purchased the car before it went to auction, once can assume others had also expressed an interest hence them not taking me up on my offer to purchase before auction. I was aware fully of what the guide price, this is what attracted me to the car in the first place.

Wouldn’t you agree that if a minimum of 3 people wanted to purchase the same car at the same time that is plenty of interest considering most have been sat unsold forever in a day and the market is clearly cooling off.

My planed offer on the car was going to be 100k including all buyer fees, it appears i wasn’t far off the mark. The reason behind my figure was I felt the cars low milage would of allowed me to us the car over a number of summers and it would of still been a sub 20k miles car with the thought that if I needed to sell I may get out privately in the future around £80k to £85k. At this price it appeared like a sensible level of depreciation over a 3 to 4 year period for myself.

Out of interest were you the lucky individual who managed to purchase this car? If so congratulations as you have bought an original car, with low miles at a price which reflects the current market IMO.
