Not so much the price, but the description is bizarre!

That fella sounds like a grumpy swine. I would not contact him either if I had a gem of a car for 1k.

True. But I suppose it's all about attracting the customer in and if it worked on one it'd all be worth it

That Eclipse is an american import though (afaik!)

Absurdum · 25-04-2010 11:15AM

Seems like a reasonable asking price for a rare car, if it's in good nick.

Oh dear, this is ripe for the piss-taking. I'm tempted to start an email exchange with him. Kind of like what this guy does when he sees a stupid ad on gumtree:

Because the guy is clearly a knobend, he's lacking in other departments and some Lexus badges help.....maybe!

Again, another wacky sales pitch:
"The ideal state of nothing more nothing less, NCT 07.2012 , 05.10 tax , I will not elaborate on, come see"

Ya, but can you imagine the conversation
So, was the timing belt changed?
NIET, I WILL NOT ELABORATE!
Service history, maybe?
NIET, I WILL NOT ELABORATE, YOU BUY!

Nice bit of stereotyping there. Are you a professional or amateur racist?

So what about stereotyping,it is what it is! If I say it with an "ah be jaysus " will it make you feel better. Its just taking the p!ss, now get over it. FFS the ad reads just like the way we were taking the mickey out of it. Did you read the ad we're talking about? Bloody PC brigade....Its a laugh, there's no incitement to hatred, no racial slur, no threat being made against any section of society, its just a laugh. You know when someone takes the mickey out of you for doing or saying something stupid.

Maybe if we could all laugh at each other a little more we wouldn't have the problems we have .... be gorra

Thats actually not a bad price considering that the car comes with a 2JZ-GTE which is a 3 litre twin turbo Supra engine. Supra power in a luxury cruiser. Nothing too wrong with that in my opinion. Only issue id have is that its auto.

Yes, its also the 4 speed auto box thats found in the supra turbo too (the 5 speed in the GS300 is not strong enough)

There is a lot of "features" in these cars including rear steering, which can cause trouble, there is an aftermarket retro-fit kit to "fix" the steering into place.

Without an NCT, its worth IMO 3k, with NCT 4-5k.

I wonder does it have the factory sat-nav/TV system in it?

Edit: No.

Maybe to a devoted fan but i'd say its worth about 800 quid. Its a nothing car.

€800 :eek:, Im not being sarcastic, if you see one for €800, let me know, cash buyer!

MMM Supra TURBO power in a 4-door saloon. Ok its not an M5, but its cheap fast motoring:D

langdang · 02-05-2010 07:07PM

It was thoughtless of me to suggest that people with a poor grasp of english would type in "ALL CAPS".
I might have implied that he would behave in real life as he does on the internet, but that can be a dangerous assumption.
I can't see what else I would have implied about poor oul Piotr that wasn't already suggested by his ad.

Faith an begorrah, shur aren't we all Europeans now, to be sure to be sure..

Wait - there I go again! Assuming Piotr is a male of eastern european origin. My god what was I thinking! How insensitive of me... I sincerely apologise to all non-irish-settled-males who have been traumatised by my behaviour

But anyhooo.. in fairness - in my book that supra-lexus-aristo is worth zilcho without NCT !

I reckon it's priced at least double it's actual value - and it has manky wheels (I know he has the originals but you'd imagine he'd have them on it to sell)

€15,900 for a 2006 147. Looks like a pre facelift model as well. Deluded.
