$22K for an EL XR8

Abacus · 27-12-2006, 11:03 PM

Nice car, but the asking price seems a little bit over the top to me...

Carsales EL XR8 22K

[Edit] I just browsed through the rest of the XRs on offer on that site. Either I'm completely out of touch with E series values or there's a lot of dreamers out there.

Divide it by 3 and we'll talk

fairmont1998 · 27-12-2006, 11:07 PM

Seems a bit high, there is no mention of any mechanical changes to the HO motor so I can't see the value.

Abacus · 27-12-2006, 11:13 PM

I just re-read the ad. He wants $15,500 for the wheels, stereo and plates. LMAO. Must be a monster freakin' stereo.

22K? I could almost find a BA XR8 for that price.

uranium_death · 28-12-2006, 12:01 AM

For a car that has done 168,000km, 15k (no extras) is a ripoff.

You could get a BAII-BF XR8 for not much more from an Auction group easily.

WizBang · 28-12-2006, 12:07 AM

Yes but its a Holden - would you really pay that much for one, much less a used one?

Is he saying he has had the diff replaced? Ie Borg Warner to what? And does that also mean he has had the gearbox replaced as well?

its not had that much done to it really, has it?

I do NOT like those plates.

XR Martin · 28-12-2006, 01:07 AM

The wheels are worth $4k but that doesnt mean the car is worth that much extra

Green X · 28-12-2006, 01:35 AM

When will people realise just cause you have spent $15,000 modifying the car, that doesn’t mean the car is now worth $15,000 more.

Wild_xe · 28-12-2006, 01:37 AM

LOL that cars been for sale for past 6months + its wayyy to high, looks tuff though..he's dreaming

Abacus · 28-12-2006, 01:42 AM

Parents/partner mght have demanded he put it up for sale when he was suspended...could be a clever ploy to make sure he still owns it when he gets his licence back.

Lol. I never looked at it from that angle. I guess it's a possibility.

Ding ding ding! Well, that's what i thought anyways...

Actually looks like a really nice car, i 'd proudly park her in my garage. Unfortunately, really nice cars can be had for much less in the year 2006.

FPR sticker a disappointing extra :(

fordAU · 28-12-2006, 08:21 PM

He is a joker, 8k max.

You beat me to it as I was thinking the same.

XR Martin · 28-12-2006, 02:05 AM

He may also have a massive fine to pay, and debt from all the mods, hence the high price.

ThoR_ · 28-12-2006, 02:40 AM

with a 168 on the clock and the mods 22k is to much...maybe 18 max.

Xitdxr · 28-12-2006, 02:38 PM

Yep all tremecs, my old EF was a tremec T5. He is asking too much for it, my ef had 150,000 on the clock and it wouldnt have gone for more than 10,500. he's full of it, i can get an 03 XR6 turbo manual leather and premo sound for that price, ok it might be wholesale, but who cares, i can still get it!
