Looks good value (with the gerarbox sorted 1) - The seats are great -

Bit different from normal leather !!! (bit like the 190e cosworth)

 

[jonnyboy]

That looks nice - remarkably un-messed-with

 

[500E]

Nice car. High miles but they can hack it. Good condition too.

I think this was one being sold recently as I recall the number plate...

Gearbox issue is slighty worrying unless sorted properly and the bodywork issues usually mean rust!

Is the very same car that has been for sale for about a year

 

[500E]

Yeah I thought I'd recognised it, wasn't a member selling it? Quite cheap I remember too.

Is not that one,the one that Acid was selling did have a gearbox problem when he bought it but that had leather.I take it is the car that went for 6k you`re talking about?

 

[500E]

Yeah thats the one. Ah, might have been a different one then. Lovely car, i'd be interested in one but only in 040 jet black. Also with the full black leather.

Wow, that's a high mileage indeed ! But agree, can take it easy, provided the timing chain has been done recently !

Looks very good for the miles. Super interior !


cheers

Yeah I may have done but a lot has happened in nearly a year since mate!

Is it a 4 speed or 5 speed box and are they easy to source/replace?

I must be missing something since I really don't see the attraction of the 500E. To almost everyone it will look like a 20 year old 124 taxi and you'll get tired of explaining to anyone who can be bothered to listen that it's actually a V8, very rare, blah blah blah.

If you're after cheap performance then an Impreza or Mitsubishi Evo (amongst many others) offer more for less money than this particular car and the steering wheel will be on the right side !

Looking like a 20 year old taxi is the attraction.

At £7.5k the attraction is limited at best.

One man's taxi is another man's v8 monster

Why worry what other people think about the car you drive?

Exactly

One of my lifetime ambitions is to buy a 500E one day who cares what others may think, thats what I want to get eventually
