Is this SSRG expensive or what?

[windsurfer]

I have just been looking at auto trader and found this beautiful looking SSRG, are they taking the pee with the price? From my limited knowledge this is worth £8500 tops. Please advise me if I am completely wrong.

Cheers

I'd say at least 2K overpriced

[da SLUG man]

as there's no "book" price, they go for whatever they'd fetch... when i bought mine they ranged from 8.5-15k and that was 2 years ago!

good point is, they hold their value, although recently as there have been more and more imported the price has gone down a bit.

I might be selling my intercooler in the next few weeks, was going to put it around £7995.

i live near that garage and they are well over the top on price and the cars remain unsold for months and months believe me and they are no better than any other cars i bought 96p ssrg with intercooler 52k with extras two months ago from dealer £7900 with this fuel crisis bet i wouldnt get more than £6500 for it now although it is a fantastic truck values will go down next year when they dont need sva for mark threes the flood gates will open and values will drop on early models

bought mine 2 years ago for £8900 and i also got them to fit a cat 2 immmobiliser at the last minute - free (i'd been on to the insurance co just before i was about to go and sign for it!). Mine was in pretty good condition but had 132,000km on it. Not a problem, just higher than usual.
At the time tho, there was this gorgeous black '97 SSR-X Limited, 3.0TD with tinted windows - this was up for well over £14,000.

I think a lot if it really depends on the condition overall, but yeah, that's around £2k to much. Especially for a '96 as they're obviously the oldest 3rd gens.

No SVA tests?

I was not aware that the SVA tests were going to be stopped. I have £8/9000 to play with for a Surf. Do you think its better to wait until next year then?
Cheers for the advice!

They won't need an SVA after 10 years so come 1997 the early ones won't need one.

Selling it?

Hey Andy,
If you decide to sell it can you give me the the lo-down of mileage, extras etc. By the way, are side steps easy to fit?

You can pick one of these up for about £5500 at my local importers if you are willing to take the risk of no warrenty and to SVA it yourself which adds another couple of hundred.

I got mine there and if the warrenty issue really worries you you can buy a warrenty ( a bit like insurance) for about £300.

there is a good range to choose from and to be honest you could probabaly get it a bit cheeper now given the demand has fallen off as fuel prices increase

[windsurfer]

Sounds Good

Cheers Fergus,
Sounds good. Can you give me any more details (a website, telephone number etc?). What car did you get? I'm really after a 3rd gen intercooled ssrg. I'm kind of fussy, I know. Is it easy to organise the SVA test? Thanks again for the help

You can also get some from this dealer. Most seem to be of the intercooler variety. There are some really nice trucks on here.
