mate just to put it in perspective.. i bought my VTR for £1900 with 44 k on clock... Immacualte condition too ! taxed and MOT'd.
Thats a furio with 60 + ... its not worth that list price mate.. Haggle FTW !

No, that's an awful buy, so overpriced (I know it's from a garage), but seriously mate, look elsewhere.

I picked up my furio with 52,000 51' plate, one elderly owener (so it feels like new to drive, not been thrashed) for £1900.. although it was up at £2500 and i managed to knock him down. You may be able to knock him down, but personally I wouldnt bother, the price seems far to steep. I heard that the problem with the pricing of furios is they command slightly more of a premium because of vtr looks, but cheaper insurance due to only being 1.4.

Keep shopping around is my answer!

p.s I love how on the pic of the car, its got in the windscreen £2999 as the original price. Ouch!

JonnyW · 5th January 2010, 12:57

i am also trading in my dads car that i am driving as he doesnt want it so am hopin that it will knock it down to just below 2000.
also i cant afford the insurance on a vtr

Saxomatic · 5th January 2010, 13:09

Well best way is to have a good look at it, and make sure its all ok, no problems etc.

If you're happy with it, and happy with £2000 with the trade in, and thats what you want then go for it. Personally I think its steep.

If you're happy though, then thats what matters

That looks dodgy, the fresh respray, the vts interior, location of the photos. I'd make sure you give that a proper going over before you put a deposit down on that.

tom130691 · 30th January 2010, 16:23

i woulnt pay 1600 for it let again 2600

Add91289 · 30th January 2010, 16:28

half the price and it would be ok

nope its not a good buy. overpriced

all there cars are lol.

Im always looking in Hull dealerships as I dont live far from Hull at all and I can tell you now most of the dealers do everything on the cheap lols. if they say they have serviced it and the book is stamped more then likely they did it at there own garage on the cheap with cheap oils. so whatever car you buy instantly get the oils and coolants changed for peace of mind!

I know which dealership this is they hada Black 05 plate scooby in not so long ago anda silver porky boxster.

since your from Hull it might be good if you attend this.

no he needs to get the RAC to give it a proper looking over if its a Cat-d repaired. nothing wrong with Cat-d's as long as the works been done and properly signed off as sutable for usage on Uk roads!

all he needs to ask is who did the work. recipt for the work what parts was changed. phone number for who ever signed it off as fully repaired. ehe then rings that person up there and then to confirm the sellers story & if they are local and have the free time ask them to come down to so they can explain what work they carried out on the car!

pritty straight forward if you ask me. but a photo hides a million problems. so it looks good there but up close the paint job might be totally shite and the back end might be all Filler lol.

jamieross · 30th January 2010, 17:25

i paid £1100 for my furio with one prev owner and 47000 miles

seriously aint worth paying £2500

Cat D's don't need signing off, neither do cat C's, all you have to do with a C is get DVLA to check the numbers on the car and give you the log book.

furiomike · 30th January 2010, 19:06

I paid £1600 for a Furio on 60k almost 4 years ago now. That's way way over priced.
