This guy is in a dreamer league of his own.... clearly has been at the LSD
Impressive to get a 1996 car in 1989 :)
Imagine getting one in 1983 when they were first produced
Getting a 1983 car in 1989 is not as impressive as getting a 1996 car in 1989 lol
They were produced from 1983 to 1998

Apologies for the double post. Doesn't allow me to delete it.
20k for this beauty.
"…nearly all camber is adjustable and could be turned into a roadworthy car." 🤣
The "mall ninja" katana shifter is the icing on the cake for me to be honest.
Forgive my ignorance as this part of the boy racer scene passed me by but can you actually drive that Lexus with the wheels like that?
I know it won't pass an nct but is it "safe"?
You cannot drive fast but it can drive. I'd say he could do 80km/h but I have no experience with it.
I'm sure it's possible on a billiard table smooth road.
Actual real world conditions with potholes, kerbs, speed bumps… I think there might be problems.
You can but you're going to feel every minor bump, dip, crack, groove, etc. It's on bags so he likely just has it "stanced" like that statically and then raises the ride height with the airbag suspension to make it more manageable-ish. Seeing as it's a show car it is 100% trailered to and from events. It's purely done for the aesthetic and offers zero functionality.
Air suspension might make it a little bit driveable, but it'll eat through the inner edges of the tyres at that angle and I highly doubt there's much comfort to be had.
20k for a 1998 car with a little suspension work and €1800 tax is mental though.
Apparently he's done more than that but even so 20k does seem ridiculous. I don't think this is meant to be put on the road as such, even though you could once you've adjusted the camber back in. It's a show piece and made to appeal to a fan of the late 90's early 2000's modifications scene which apparently this car has all the popular parts from that time in it which in themselves would be collectable.

When I saw Ls400 I was expecting a luxury car, perhaps overpriced. This is a clown car - I wouldn't be surprised to see Ronald McDonald getting out of it.
Marked as Sold now…
I wonder if Ronald bought it?
Did you check out the gearstick?
While these Ford Fredas/Mazda Bongos have a bit of a cult following as campers, they never make this money. €12,000 is cloud cuckoo land stuff. And it’s on UK plates. No mention of what engine is in it or service history. And winter is the worst time to sell a camper (that’s why I’m looking, hoping for a bargain!)https://www.donedeal.ie/view/37893328
How long has this guy had it if its on UK plates?
I can't even tell what year it is from that ad,good to know the vital stuff though like everybody compliments him where he goes with it.
Its a Jap import year 2000 with a recorded mileage of 128,000 km in Aug 2022. MOT expired since Aug 2023 so presumably its been here around a year or two and probably has close to 150,000 km now.
Thanks for that,I figured it was a jap import alright with the shape of the number plate.
I wouldn't nessesarily trust someone owning a car here for a few years driving around on UK plates.It just shows they're a bit of a messer imo and I'd worry what other corners they were cutting in relation to the vehicle.
Of course I could be well off there and there's a good reason for it but I'd steer clear.
Well the tax & MOT are well expired, so if you wanted to do things properly you would pay the vat & customs owed and VRT it. Then probably spend a few quid getting it through the NCT. I have no problem buying UK cars that have been here a long time but expect a long list of NCT fails when you do get around to doing that
CVRT on a camper. Being a Bongo it will most likely fail on the rust anyway.
€20k for a 1.8 2009 SLK 😄

^^^^
In 2019 I took a 2007 1.8 SLK for a spin.Standard enough,average milage and good condition. Dealer wanted €7k,I offered €6k and he said sure.Things happened that meant I couldn't buy it.
A similar 12 or in the above case nearly 15 year old bog standard SLK now goes for between €15k and €18k,or in the above case looking for €20k
Fook me.
