Very good point.

Edz....Car looks fantastic - best of luck with it mate
I paid less than that for mine but if I was looking for an LE now I would not be put off by that price. Still say its an absolute bargain for the looks/performance/noise/style you get per buck. What else can you get for that money?
Out of interest mate are the Turbo and Clutch uprated? Looking to de-Cat mine?

Hi Mate, stock valeo clutch and stock turbo, decat is more for the lovely noise it makes, I know there are cheaper ones, but this is real nice motor, Im still having doubts to part with it. Thanks for the positive comments , like you said what else do you get as good for the money.

Stunning car Edz, stunning. It's the sort of motor that would tempt me back to coupe ownership.
<I must resist, I must resist>

Thanks Mate

stunning car!! I bet if kept in that condition it will be turning even more heads in say 10 years time.

I always do my best to keep it as it is

Wow....that is one good looking coupe. If i had £6k to spend on a car, this would be the one. Drop the front down half an inch (maybe 1 inch) and I think it would be perfect.

They were saying that about 4 years ago when I had my first coop.....the broom yellow one.
Nothing has changed and they are still as cheap to buy and very expensive when things go wrong.
Nice car though.

Over £6000 ?
I just paid £2000 for a 2001 and 56000 mile (how old is your pensioner and mileage ?) 20VT,leather and all the trimmings...in excellent nick as well.
over £6000 for a coop....you are taking the michael.
I tell you you what.....you are right about one thing,you will end up keeping this car.
If you are not fussed on selling it,what are you doing advertising here at a stupid price that no one with any sense is going to even come close to offering ?

You got a bargain by the sounds of it good luck with your new car bet you wont sell it for 2k and as I know no FORUM member would of sold the above mention car for that price.

My car is worth every penny of the 6k+ that I am asking

And yes I am not fussed Its only lack of space that I have taken a chance of selling it

Its a beautiful coop - Thats why!, 2k buys a 2001? That must be a tireeed coop

Chrissy

any need?

it's all about opinions and, more importantly, who's willing to stump up the cash. in a buyers market it's only worth what someone will pay

Spit - The average price for an LE is £4000 for a good condition one. Edz coupe is Mint - and i can assure you there will be someone who will be willing to pay "near" to that for a mint coupe. Its a bit out of my price range to be honest

Yes £2000 may get you a coupe that looks nice - infact even £1500... i will come back to the person in a year and ask them how much money they have had to spend....



Some people buy cars on here for the passion of the car, i would feel happier paying the extra for a coupe that has been looked after. If someone slaps on a "stupidly" high price on their coupe then it shows me that they have cared for that car and have put a lot of money into it.

I owned a 20v NA Coupe - They go for about £800... there is no way on earth i would have let it go for less than £2500. While that is 20vt money you would not find another car in any of the ranges in the condition that my one was for that price.

Peorsonally spit i think Edz in denial and he will end up holding onto that coupe for ever lol

Good luck with you car mate - and if you have managed to get yourself a mint one at that price - well you have done very well

I guess at the end of the day its all about what people are willing to pay. . . so only time will tell on this one

Spit we need cars like this to sell at higher prices. If people start to pay more for coupes then they will start to go up in value. Come on you must have seen some of the tat for sale on Pistonheads these days

As I said in my earlier post....I would definitely pay over £6k for this coupe. I am currently trying to raise £4k to buy my first LE (Had a few Coupe's but never an LE) and I am seriously considering holding off and saving a bit more to get hold of this one. The only problem is, when I get to the £5k mark and I have access to pretty much any decent LE up for sale, will I have the will power to keep saving......I hope so.

have you seen this coupe ( don't think you have ) so how can you comment on it

If you are able to save up for a bit longer i would - there are always good LEs that come up and i think anything above £4k and your defo on the right track!

Good luck djmobi

Ask Flea....he just remapped it.
If anyone wants to pay 6K for a coop...that's up to them.
This is a forum and I am giving my opinion here.......no coop.....unless it's flea's and pushing out crazy power is worth over £6000 (in my opinion)

I dont want to start arguments

But as the Only VINCI GREY L.E for sale with 18s

In real nice condition I feel I can ask as much as I feel its worth.

As I said you grabbed a bargain from someone who didn't know what they had, well done to you You grabbed a bargain in fact you stole at the price and well done to you.
Like I said you wont sell it for 2k

But Mario is right I doubt if I really want to sell it
It look fantastic last night at the ACE Cafe everyone payed it lots of compliments

arguments are what forums are all about (sorry, heated discussions). Spit is entitled to his opinion and he did really well getting a sorted coupe with that mileage at that price, but the fact remains, several people on this thread have said they would pay £6250 for this coupe if they had it...in my humble opinion that means its worth £6250.

P.S. anyone got about £3k they want to lend me:)

No arguments here mate.....used to get into enough trouble here 5 years ago arguing
It's just an opinion mate and not one that should be taken personally.
If you can get 6K for it......good for you.
Same as it was good for me that I got my coop for 2K.
There is obviously no comparison between mine and yours.....I know that mate.
Yours being worth a lot more than mine......

EDz selling his Vinci Grey LE?

I'm more likely to win tonight's Euro Millions jackpot. And I've not even bought a ticket!

Just noticed Edz,you started here the same day as me,5 years ago.....intersting....lol

EDZ "DONT DO IT!!!!" as i said at the ace you'll regret it fella ...........

Car looks stunning, but priced not to sell is right IMO.

It's true there may be someone out there willing to pay the asking price, but then there's people out there willing to give their bank details to Nigerian Generals!!!!

Again and only in my tight fisted opinion, the price is right for the condition of the car, but only in ten years time.

And that's assuming Europe, Japan and America have crippled the middle and far east, brought China to it's knees and are controlling the supply of global energy resources

We have a tendency of talking about future classics as if the future of the internal combustion engine was secure. Chances are by the time coops have reached the heady heights of a truly rare classic, the only option of keeping it on the road will be to fork out another £30K on top of the £10k purchase price getting it converted to run on fresh air and the bleating breath of new born lambs.

Sounds like you know something we don't BJ. Been down the Patents office lately?

lol @ EDz Its good to see you have ignored everyone and put the price up.... where it should be in my opinion

Edz, I sold you those wheels from my Coupe!

Can I have them back now for my LE?

Sorry mate , you can buy my LE with them and you get the old originals too

If your LE originals are mint I will take them! Mine need a refurb...

E30 M3 sold by the way to a dutch guy. Brother sold his E30 M3 Sport Evolution aswell. 911 Turbo to replace it!

Pop round sometime and have a look. Been a while...
