No ive been watching the auctions for a few weeks now and those cars can be brought over and vrt'd for about €4500 all in, its not a good deal but obiviously the person bringing it in for you has to make some money

Probablly about 6k looking at what they are going for carzone at the moment thats presuming its standard enough? I plan on selling mine in september when the tax is up, mine has alot of extras including a €1500 alarm, €1000 sound system , leatherette interior and 18' alloys, id be expecting to get 7k for mine. Theres no way a 11 year old car would get a grade 4.5 either he's deffo taking the micheal on that one, id be wanting to see the auction report sheet to verify the milage aswell :roll:

Hope you get one though theyre an amazing car to drive brings a smile to my face every time i mivec past a starlet :P

mate ur getting ripped off if you go and buy that car!!!!!!!!

also the chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one they say................... but they are better odds than gettin a 4.5 grade 95 gpx, id call this seller a lying bas**ard.

all i can say is steer clear

I saw a 4.5graded 95 on isicar.com recently...

mate have a good hard look at all the paperwrok before buying anything..sounds a bit dear to me - and it's not like it's not possible to pick up a decent enough example here at home or in the UK these days..

Bad deal - unless you've got a couple of €k of mods.

7.5K sounds a little steep for a standard 95 Man GPX.However if its in very good condition with lowish miles then it should be worth 7K. You'll need to get this up on a ramp to know what condition its in - check ARB bushes, droplinks, dampers etc - and start deducting the price of these from the asking price if they are not in good nick.

4.5K will not get you a manual GPX - this is 95 GR/GS Tip money. Manual GPX's are rarer and command a higher price (well worth it too I might add).
