8k ebay gul has sold.............

[martybelfastt5]

black saloons i think there is only 3 or 4 left!!
and i have a manual one he.he.he

[TJ101]

Rarest is the black, mostly its yellow and black on M-reg and N-reg mostly green.

Saloons much are rarer, black saloons i think there is only 3 or 4 left!!

Would be interested where you got your info from ??

Black is certainly not the rarest

Yellow are worth the most, hence more desirable, as the only "unique" colour to the range, Black and Olive Pearl were available across the whole 850 range

[TJ101]

Not me, ( unfortunately, I lack most of the asking price...lol ) would be nice if it was a forum member, then we'll all be able to have a good look around it and see if it really is worth the money and I was under the impression that Olive Green was the rare one. It would be interesting to know what deal was done and how much it is costing the new owner ?

I have seen this one,, and it was sold for full asking price,, and going to a collector, who is certainly no idiot
As clean as the one i bought new in 94,

As the add said,, try and find another one,,

[LiamT4]

and the funny thing is that yellow is the last colour i'd want in an 850.

[Nealevo]

I know of a black salon manual with 19k from new, it's sits on axle stands and it's gorgeous... He also has a 911 rs, intergrale Evo 2 and Subaru P1. I think he knows about rare cars !!! It's a shame he's ginger!!! Sorry Tim if you read this.

And there was me thinking I'd brought a bargain......

[The Flying Banana]

I drooled over this car for many hours, but did notice hat it was up for £7995 and then when it sold it went upto £8995. I wish that I'd made the trip up Scotland to see the gul 855 t5r which was up for £2995 with 184k on the clock, as I really want one of these cars.

Its back up for sale and heading down the country ..its in Cumbria now for 2600

It's currently sitting on Fleabay at £2050 with no bids, another thread on this forum related to this car kinda makes me want to run a mile, and I'm looking for a good T5!

I spoke to the guy selling it as I was going up for butchers, but cancelled on him after the comments given on here along side contradictions and lack of knowledge from the owner. He reckoned that within 12 hours of listing he had 70 people watching it (probably all of you regulars from this forum ). I also spoke to the mechanic who did the last service for quite some time last week, I not convinced at all, I think that car will be a real heart breaker

I'd also like to point out I have many many more pics than the one's he's posted, of damage he has not mentioned in the ebay listing...


*****EDIT

It's been pulled from ebay, no trace! however, he's relisted it on Gumtree at £2550, again with different info to the first gumtree listing and the ebay listing.

So it hasn't sold for £2,100 as the listing on ebay states then? I so nearly bought this car when it was up in Fife.

[Pinchcliff]

It's shown as having sold for £2100, a questionable gamble that may or may not pay off based on the info presented.

I found it on Gumtree eventually, but it seems to be under Audi?

[Nifton]

Yeah, well considering he wanted 2950 off me for it last weekend (had I attended) it seems like he's quite keen to get shot!! IF he could've shown me a receipt for the con rods then I may have been tempted, what had me most worried was the garage telling me that the owner thought the clutch was slipping but it was infact the boost valve notched up so high it was lighting the tires on every gear change... Ah well, best of luck to the new owner, unless that 2100 bid was one of his mates trying to get the bidding started...

[claymore]

Some of you lot really do not know much at all !!

Who actually knows this T5R ??
Who has seen it ??

Guessed so,, none of you

Where can you find a T5R with anywhere near the condition or miles of this one,, Fact is you won't

Olive Green was the most common colour, majority on "N" Plates

Crème Yellow manual estates were/are the rarest !

As for the comment "A fool and his money..." If the car is kept in the condition its in now,, will always be saleable for decent money, much more that the scrap that was linked to in a post above. and prodably rise in value

Also it was nearer £9k,, not 8k


PS, what odds are you giving for when it will re-advertised ??? Love to take some money off you

I knew I should have taken that bet.

[dana*mina]
