18000 euros compared to what a lambo ? lol

They sell for big money over in Europe for some reason... Funny thing is, if you\'re in the UK, most people want imports, so the body / underside is clear from rust

Either way mister Caggles, you\'re gonna need at least some decent compression results to start getting peeps interested....

TBH, I don\'t see many people in the UK interested in this...

GLWTS though, of course...

Seriously, is this what they are going for in Europe??

[Dick Caggles]

I don\'t know if they actually go for that much. I do know that they are advertised for that much so that is why I mentioned it (and followed suit). I have posted it on this forum mainly because it is a rare genuine UK import that is completely original and most examples I have come accross are either Japanese imports or have been modified to some degree or another. I welcome any comments either positive or negative. Thanks all for your interest.

I had a UK Spec  FD completely standard and it was bought by a French man from Nice. He said that it was a big ball ache to buy a Japanese one, but a British one was easy to import. That\'s why they are sort after in Europe. I sold mine for £4500, I don\'t think you will get that amount for yours. sorry

[Dick Caggles]

Fair comment Eddie. I\'ve also heard that that is the reason they are worth more over here. Added to that mine is 3 years newer and has only done half the mileage of the one you sold. A point to consider perhaps?

[BlitzBoy]

its worth £6000 at most with the faded paint, what colour is it?

[turkster]

Less than 18k will get you a left hand drive FD in Europe or a late-spec JDM import with good quality mods registered on the road.

[Dick Caggles]

I\'ll let you know what it is worth when it is sold. It is not left hand drive or a Japanese import or modified in any way.

[Dick Caggles]

Blitzboy you get one guess on the colour:rollin

[BlitzBoy]

Red ?? haha

[Dick Caggles]

:Thumbsup!

Red ?? haha

Now insured and in the process of being french registered. I have been driving and cleaning it up and it has no mechanical issues at all. Starts first turn every time, hot or cold, most powerful car I have ever driven. Every button works as it should, all electrics, sun roof, air conditioning etc. faultless.  There is absolutely zero rust underneath. The dent and the faded paint are being dealt with professionally and although it remains for sale at this point I may well end up keeping it.

I\'ve sold lots of FD\'s overseas and a reasonably standard car would only cost around 1000euro to register. I find it hard to think you\'d get your asking price but if you do then good on you!
The downside to UK cars going out of the country is that it pushes up the price of cars for UK buyers, take a look at the values of the 200SX for example. I\'ve had around 12 UK 200SX in the last few months and every single one has gone straight out to Germany, 100 euro to register then on you go :burnout
