Just been looking at that one myself. It says 'not my cup of tea', I interpret this as 'cost me a fortune and always broken'. Part history and no mention of condition. Always worth a call but wouldn't be expecting it to be a great example.

No way i would be swapping that for a barge, sorry XK8.

Quite normal that many people do not know what they are selling. Does not make it a bad car. Personally I feel that loads of 3200s' are now worthless as you havnt a clue what bills are round the corner.

I would say he liked the look of it but didn't really understand what he was buying.......Probably now seen how much it costs to run and decided not for him.......But could be wrong so sorry to the seller if I am...

There's a very real chance he has got bored of the on/off nature of the throttle and finds it hard work to drive smoothly.

A quick re-set and away you go! Always amazed me how many I test-drove that needed a re-set "Oh it's a high performance machine, that's a feature...." etc etc!!

It sounds genuine enough to me.

Its cheap and about the right mileage and feel it the interior that would put a lot off. You can have the interior re coloured for about £500 if anyone fancies it, I would only go darker to black though.

Or failing that, do a deal with someone like Eurospares or David Askew where you swap interiors plus cash maybe???

I dont see any problem buying a car with no history whatso ever, get an inspection done and you will know what bills are lurking. Seems reasonable price to me, the interior is ok not the nicest but I guess thats reflected in the price.

Had that colour leatehr in my silver 3200...I liked it...

 

[urbanmaser]

Dont be tempted by low price. Nobody gives something for nothing and it would take a brave man to buy this car

Now come on Bob, 3200's worthless?
Looks a nice example and somebody will enjoy her I'm sure, not sure about blue leather though, a swap might be good. XKR would have been a slightly better choice, but still no comparison.

 

[bigbob]

Thought someone would rise to that one earlier!

It's a tough one - once cars like this get down to £6k or thereabouts, they can easily fail an MOT and then be written off as worthless.

I remember my 3200 with nice thoughts but lots will now be broken for parts.

 

[hodroyd]

I'm only kidding, but for the older ones you are probably right.

So, who bought it then???!!!!
