I would like to sort it before I go away really. Have a feeling I have a long trip coming up and would rather not have to leave it until we are into winter fully (for obvious reasons)

Two things, not sure I'd want to buy a car with a gearbox that's been launched to 60mph in only 3.5 seconds � And I thought you wanted to go racing with this?

price drop already , in less than a week?

But still priced at significantly more than he paid for it ten weeks ago. http://www.vx220.org...ed-low-mileage/

Agree. It's all a bit odd matey. Your previous posts were full of enthusiasm before and after you bought one. Then you had a run on track and suddenly it's up for sale for more than you paid for it. This thread probably won't help your chances of selling

Photos are better in that other thread

 

Good luck with the sale 

[J13ME]

That also doesn't take into consideration all the work I have put into it fixing niggly bits, rattles etc. Also the 2 day paint correction. 

 

A sale in based on what its worth, not what the seller paid for it. I got a good deal, I travelled for the car and will not be taking a loss on it (or I will just keep it as a track car!)

 

So if you could please get back to the facts of this sale.. Its well priced, its potentially the cleanest/best VX for sale at the moment and thats that.

Buyers remorse chaps; that's what a car like this can create. People don't realise how uncompromising it actually is. Or its funked and he wants rid! As regards the long trip, military or prison?

[J13ME]

Its not that at all, I love the car. If it wasn't worth so much and I could warrant keeping it as a weekend car I would. I had an old golf so I could use this for just weekends but I hated the golf so ended up just using the VX when I was home (which was a nightmare with my work)

 

I want something just as cool but bigger! Something I can use everyday but still have fun with. 

 

Plus my fiancé refuses to get in so I don't even get to take it out most the time haha  

 

as for the trip, none of the above. Offshore Poland!

I would personally not have used photos of it on track and then describe it as "showroom condition" in the thread title...

[The Batman]

Just for the record I would prefer a track car to a road car only I find tracked ones are better maintained

[J13ME]

This was also mentioned else where, IMO you would be naive to believe that a VX220/Lotus has not been tracked. As Batman said, you know with a tracked car it has been looked after/checked over more than a road car thats just jumped into to go to the shops daily

[furtive]

Fair point.

[jonnyboy]

Everyones right but Furtive is most right.

[J13ME]

Appreciate the input but its truthful, the car has done 2 evening track days (about 20 minutes a piece) and the condition it 10x that of 99% of the VX's I have seen advertised or in person

 

PRICE DROP as I have found my new car now.

 

£12995!

Its threads like this that still make me think For Sale ads should be just that and not a regular thread.

It's a forum that's open to comment

[Bargi]

Yes fine and and ads should be ads

[Rudy]

But it's a forum open to comment!!

[Bargi]

it's a website, ads should be ads, you wanna comment on the ad, do it in the forum section

[Rudy]

But the fact is you can comment because it's a forum, not an ad site. If the rules were different I'd agree.
