Very cheap Sprint

[barefoot]

This looks very cheap if it has had a new chassis at some time....

It says that it has a replacement Spyder chassis.

I'll start the things wrong list....
1. Drivers seat is split
2. No milage listed

Looks fairly nice to me otherwise... panasports look good.

[barefoot]

Car has nothing to do with me but the drivers seat is nothing as is the mileage it is the condition of the car that matters. Must be worth looking at if anyone is in the market for one. Lot of spare money can be spent on this car if need be when you consider decent cars with a replacement chassis are ?20k and well above nowadays!

See its now provisionally sold

greg - what bolt ons??

[pharriso]

What the heck is going on?!!

Earlier today the ad showed a yellow car, no sunroof... Now the ad shows a Pistachio & white car with sunroof!!

I sense a scam! As my father taught me, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is!

[barefoot]

Yeah seems it was a scam thought it was bloody cheap. But have to laugh at forums if the car had been genuine only posts were people knocking the car ie slight tear on drivers seat etc at ?12k it would have been a steal!

No scam chaps, the vehicle now resides in my stable. And as you all rightly note, what a deal????????.

So what color is the car really? Can you explain the changing colors in the ad?

Had you seen it before my heads up? Glad it went to someone on here I bet you were not too bothered about no mileage and seat trim well done!

greg - what bolt ons??

Wheels that are held on with lug nuts versus wheels that are held on with center knock ons/offs. I"m certain all S4s came with knock ons and earlier elans had bolt on wheels, usually then hub caps/wheel covers., with some exceptions, basically.

seems odd someones bought the sprint this morning when the owner was still riding around in it this afternoon ? can you enlighten

[elanfan1]

Greg - it appears the picture has been changed - when i looked it was a sprint with knock ons - no bolt ons in sight.

all seems a little odd - doubtless there will be an explanation eventually.
