[AdrianGP_vR]

Ok so i've a new project arriving so unfortunately as much as i love the car it has to go as i cannot keep 3 cars. This is a good opportunity for someone as the car has a very good and tasteful spec for a very good price. I will be putting the car up for sale but if it does not sell i will proceed to break it. However, if enough people subscribe to buying parts and those parts total =/> the asking price i will proceed to break the car - Read the end of my post for more information. Thanks for looking.

Gearbox is smooth with no crunches;
Interior is clean and seats in good condition

Front Bumper could do with a re-spray

Parts Included in the asking price:

Stock Brake Calipers + Discs
Stock Suspension

Good list, well done!

One question, when you say the oil has only needed to be topped up once in 5 months, yet the car has been driven 7 days a week, how many km's is it since the oil and filter was actually changed in the engine?

Cheers it took a while lol. See "Service History" it says 9,000kms ago > i bought this car off my mate so he was the one that serviced it. I did not put up 9,000 kms myself since i bought it. I only do small local runs but they are done 7 days a week ie. going to work, town, local Dublin area to friends, etc. Hope this answers your question.

[Dragonheart]

Cool. That answers it all right. Cheers.

[AdrianGP_vR]

Cool. That answers it all right. Cheers.

Sorry didn't see your pm until after i posted. Pm replied, cheers.

[goz_83]

Excellent price for a hell of a car.

[optical illusion]

That's way too cheap

I'm pretty sure it'll sell but I would be interested in the spots without the stuff around it

[Sebastian]

i'm sure this will go into right hands

[goz_83]

i'm sure this will go into right hands

in 2012 Seb buys fto

[richardc9052]

would you take a deposit on the whole car?

[Sebastian]

i'm sure this will go into right hands

As much as I want this to happen it will have to wait for now

[ottostreet]

crap. crap. crap.

I want this.

[SirHiss]

Dibs on the Tein SS coilovers, Cusco strut braces and FTO LSD!

How much for the coilovers buddy?

What downpipe do you have? Aftermarket or stock?

[AdrianGP_vR]

This is now SOLD, thank you to everyone for their interest.

[Dragonheart]

And no for those of you who think it was me, its not.
I wanted it and had arrangements made but thats life I guess. Hope its gone to a good owner.

[colm_mcm]

hopefully whoever bought this isn't gonna break it.

Ditto Colm.

[Johnk]

Congrat on the sale, I also PM about it was going to take it but must have been sold before i sent it as got no reply back. Anyway 3 fto's might have been a bit to much around the house as well as a 307 and 4x4.

[goz_83]

Congrats on the sale Aido. I don't suppose the new owner is a member? Super car at a great price. It had to sell at that price.

[optical illusion]

Congrats, hope it stays as a whole car

[gino]

Hi Guys,
It was me who bought this.
Bought it because it has some of the items i was looking to get anyway, coilovers and brake kit.
Not going to brake it as i might use this for the track instead of the other GPvR.
I have to say its great to look out the window and see two vR's
And not to forget the GX, still my favorite.
Thats it though, no more. Still not sure what ill do with the 1st vR. Really like it too.

[goz_83]

Great purchase. Hopefully it stays in one piece. Really would be a shame to break her up.

[Kace]

You're some man Gino - fair play
