does anyone have any pics of lali's just out of interest have searched his previous posts but cant find anything
 
Lali's 924S sold, although it was up for sale for quite a while. If you email Lali then Im sure that he will send you some pictures. The car was a little 'rough around the edges' when Buttercup owned it, but it was a very smartly turned out car by the time EMC had finished with it.
 
wowzers, i just want one even more now!, 7k though! for a track car looks awesome but id be using mine as a daily/toy. think i might go for sandy's mates. gotta be worth a punt for a grand.
 
If I could ve got that for £4.990, then Id have had his arm off! Still if the white car was worth £5k then this was an incredible bargain at only £2k more.
 
All it needed for every day use was carpet and a couple of trim panels, and maybe a pair of clean script seats...
 
yeah definitely, not arguing that the white one was a tad overpriced, it was from a dealers so without doubt! but would pay 5k for either of them to be fair. Are fuchs wheels hard to find for 924's? i thought they were a different ET?
 
Most 911 part number Fuchs will fit a 924S. The car has 52.3mm offset wheels as standard, but the ET11/23 wheels fill the 927 arches. Lalis car has 951 type Fuchs which were required for the extra backspace to clear the big brakes.

As well as big brakes and valuable wheels it also had a full cage, a 968 engine & transaxle a lot of prep from an experienced firm. The whte car wasnt half the car in my opinion, as it was little more than a cheap 924S with GRP panels, £200-worth of seats and a makeover.

Raises an interesting point.

Let's say a dealer needs a certain mark-up over a private seller in order to cover his inevitable expenses like premises, insurances, wages (plus employer's tax and NI), advertising, electric, water rates, business rates, trade waste collection, need I go on?

How much more than a private seller does a dealer actually have to sell a car for in order to cover his costs, let alone make an income? Lets say he sells a couple of cars a week, he's got to have £2K out of every car in order to cover the costs before he's even breaking even, unless he's a sole-trader working from home. I guess you have to weigh up the fact that a trader will be somewhere in the region of double the private sale price of our cars with their stupidly low values.

If a car's from a trader with a good reputation they wish to keep, and at least some after-sales care, then it might be a couple of grand well-spent. With the way traders get torn to shreds on internet forums if they sell a GT3 that needs an indicator bulb after 9 months, I'd hesitate to criticise them too much unless they are well-known rogues. And I'd not begrudge them their mark-up; I imagine most small-business car traders aren't rolling in it in the present economic climate!
 
I dont disagree, and I didnt intend to labour the point about value; but lalis car threw it into sharp relief and I couldnt not mention it (again). I suspect that he was looking for a good deal more than the £1,500 - £2,000 that youre allowing though and margins should be much smaller on lower price cars - otherwise £500-£1,000 bangers would all be £2,000+.

I agree, overpriced for what it is. I am in the middle of building a gt replica for one of my friends. It is based on a 924 turbo (formerly my own car). Total build will be about £3,500k and thats for a mint car with a fully rebuilt engine, front mount intercooler and lots of other new parts.

Did Lali on the forum not have a 968 engined gt rep for sale? Maybe it sold.

The same friend also has a 924 s with gt kit on it which he bought to take the fuchs off. It is a bit scruffy but has had a lot of money spent on it. He will be selling it soon for £1000 with boxster 16" wheels on it. (its still mot'd but been off the road for a few months.)

Sandy can you empty your pm box please as you are not recieving pms

happy new year cheers
 
I'm considering a kit car build this year but really don't want to sell the 944. I'll probably stick it on PH at a price that if it sells near that I'll be happy and if it doesn't then it's an excuse to keep the car. I imagine there'll be a thread along the lines of "our cars are worthless, how dare he advertise at that price" ;)
 
Neither was i simon as i originally sold Sandy the GT kit and was enquiring if it was now for sale as i have a 924T sitting here waiting for one.
 
Sorry James

the 924T is a 1980 but a client owns it and is waiting for a few bits for it

cheers
