MC Stradale for 44k? What is wrong with this car?

[Scaf]

Perhaps it’s now it’s too cheap, raising suspicion where it’s not due.

It certainly isn’t too cheap or it would’ve sold.

 

[scotpak]

No, not a car for me.

Was it just the mileage that would put u off? If it was 30k wouĺd you buy it? Was there any other negatives that stood out? Sorry for all the questions, just would be great to get your perspective. I still have 2-3 weeks to buy my GT, either a sport or a stradale. Unfortunately most stradales on the mkt are white which is my least fav colour.

Yes I’d buy it for £30k. So would pretty much anyone in the country. Nothing else put me off, just the price.

Sure shall we say, 10% interest per year and it gets parked at mine till you've paid me back in full.

5% and I keep the keys.

A bill for £4500 for consumables would put me right off the running costs not matter what price it was.

Self fulfilling prophecy, put a car on a pedestal and the only way to maintain its value is not to use it, but also maintain it.

If I was after a Strad GT I would seriously consider this, as you can own and enjoy it. Low miles car will cost more and of course loose more if used. A win win for the higher miles one.

 

[Oneball]

As it’s still not sold it’s too expensive

I'll go £31k.

Serious question, is a Strad really worth £20k more than a 4.7 MC Shift on 53k miles?

 

[conaero]

For the brakes alone yes

 

[Gazcw]

For the brakes alone yes

And how long should the discs last if no damage?

 

[Lavazza]

For the brakes alone yes

But I have the full fat Zep brakes. 380mm, curved vanes and J hook. They're not lacking

Not lacking in the qp either. I found out when coming up a bit fast on the back of Zep yesterday. Ssssssh! He will never know.

I haven’t owned either but have driven both and 100% yes from me.

I never found the brakes on the GT lacking, but it's well known that I drive like Morgan Freeman. OTOH the brakes (old fashioned steel) on the Continental feel like they could stop then planet's rotation. Obviously they probably won't work like that on a track, but then it's hardly a track weapon.....

If the current price isn't a bargain, what would be? £41k...

Who is this Fat Zep then?

Lockdown hasn’t been kind!

So this is a case where I stopped someone running into the back of my own car! I note that, when I asked you yesterday how the brakes were doing you didn’t mention this!
