All,

Question is simple - would you buy one if you could?

reason I ask is a mate at work is looking for one.. He has actually arranged to go and see this this am:

Wondered what the general thoughts on these were - and is there anything he should look out for and avoid?

Cheers A

Petrol Stations...sorry couldn't resist.

Check the obvious but make sure it comes with a good warranty not just a traders 3 month one.

I love them and when ive paid off my car will be going to buy one, the reason i dont yet is because i have to pay finance and the insurance is a little too high at the moment but...

1 more year and i will be looking to get one. Im looking for a 6.0 vxr tho... Driven one around town and its a nice easy drive, take it on the main roads and its a bit different. Bit of an animal at full throttle, especially round corners or roundabouts.

if the fact that is a guzzler dosent bother you then there great

It does like a drink tbh but if you can drive sensibly then it does drink like the v6 vec, on full throttle, with some mods to make it drink a bit more, so it is just a really thirsty car lol

I'd consider one if I didn't need a 4 door.
I checked these recently on Ebay and they're fetching from £10k.

Could be worth waiting for the VXR8 to come down though as they can be had for £25k now :-)

id have one no doubt

Well....he bought it..!!
He isnt bothered about petrol etc - his other car is a Carrera 2S!!

I have to say its Stunning... lovely sound, and ****** hell it shifts!!

trying to talk him into letting me borrow it for a weekend - but not sure he will be going for that - lol....

they just aren't worth the money. for that sort of cash you can buy a much quicker and nicer car
