Hi people,

 

At my work we have an apprentice that is looking for a FTO GPX, manual. He is not fussed in colour, but must be good condition. He wants it standard so to make his mark on the car. I told him to check the local forums, but if any off you people know off one, no traders please, let me know and i will pass on the info.

 

Cheers all,

I have just bought one this weekend gone. Fantastic little motors and the engine sound great :D

lol no time wasting there :eek:

They sound utterly shite with a big can on the back though. Very droany. I do like the FTO and would love one as a DD. Still look pretty modern considering their age!

 

Look best in stock trim of course. Just a subtle drop is all they need. :)

 

My little appo at work has got money to put into the car and money to spend on the mods, so, i talked him through it and we came to a sum of approx £17,000!!!! He was alittle shocked to say the least!

But, this is my theory.......

 

My build so far cost me £28,000

Resale value, approx £6000

Loss, £22,000

 

Now look at the other extreme......

 

Buy a new 350z (or similar) for approx, and it is approx......

350z £28,000

Keep her for 10 years, or so

value then, approx, £6000

Loss £22,000

 

I know it is a little vague, but does reflect a true statement.
