Link to said car might be useful
dam ive been rumbled.
As per other post car is over priced, not a pearl white... something as basic as getting the correct colour listed for the advert would suggest to me that he does not know much about his own car....
That said it does look clean and straight

I am starting to notice two regular types of PH and other companys adverts prop up as of late that tickle my nerves
~(1)~ 280-300 bhp ,
~(2)~ Way over priced cars ( both FRST - ERST - R5GTT's etc etc )
My real direction in My reply on this thread is that I personally think, whats the point of over pricing a car so much that a possible sale is unlikely, and is almost certain to put of any 'Real' potential buyers surely there has to be a level comonsense
And as for the 280-300+ bhp titles ........... Well we all know the score there
anyways sorry to hijack the OP's thread , Looks a nice car just a bit steep

There is a vicious rumour started by CFEG/W of 5 turbo owners.
They say that we ( the owners ) of the five artificially inflate the prices to stop our cars selling.
What they forget to mention is that it was them who want us to sell our cars . If the car wont sell we must keep it.
i dont look at piston heads anymore all it seems to be is the same cars being sold over and over again like the white 5 with the black bonnet which has been on piston heads and ebay so many times now i feel like buying it so i dont see it advertised anymore.
Is there a code in there that I'm failing to get?
If we're talking about this one for £4.5 and it is as straight as he says it is, I would pay the money probably offering £4k if I was on the look out of a dead straight car as they're getting fewer by the year!
Would be a little concerned about the not working speedo though.
CFEG/W = Concentrated Flow and Ephemeral / average width in feet
not sure what that has got to do with anything
Im sure some of the over priced cars is a case of ''wifes/girlfriends wanting it gone''
So the man of the house decides to over price it so it goes no where! total winner
Yeh I'd be willing to pay 4 if it was imaculate
People say that, but I had just the one person interested in Whitey when I briefly had that up for sale, and that was for £3k.
If someone wants to offer me £4k/£5k for it though, drop me a PM

Like you said mart, briefly, i think i remember seeing your car and thinking how nice it was, and sometimes better cars with a higher tag just take a little longer to sell thats all.
I think this r5 on pistonheads looks great, like mentioned buy that car for 4k and i think is a deal.
I'm going to have spent well over that by the time mine is finished and know it will never be worth it, then again someone might pay over the odds if the car is perfect for their needs.
phil
Briefly = 2 weeks. 1 genuine interested person, and that was when I was asking £3k for it. Not what I'd call a 'higher tag' compared to the PH example, which, imho, is over-priced.
Agree, I think it is way over priced, it is not standard by any means, just fairly clean paint with OE decals. Is the red parcel shelf OE? The 'waxoiled' underneath could be hiding all sorts, hopefuly not though. The milage is suspect in my opinion, and is easy to 'change'.
I am thinking of purchasing another 5 GTT by the end of the year, and it will (when finished) be glacier white with the grey smoke windows and OE apart from under the cam and turbo. I plan to come in well, well under a 4k budget for a total mint restoration, and then use it for the next 20 years as a daily drive (unless the miles i need to do sky-rocket again) on short journeys.
I figure it is better than spending the money the newish Range Rover or Porker I had planned, as it will never really lose value, looks cool as feck, cheap to own and run, and with a few more psi be very quick when needed to be. I also find that for a small car I can get my lanky legs in comfortably. I will keep the Golf for towing the rally 5 and long runs though.
The main thing I need is time - mmmm Mart sell me Whitey (not for 4k though)
Alastair, in all seriousness, drop me a PM nearer the time if/when you're thinking of parting with the readies, as I've still got that 182/Trophy idea running around in my head...
Will do mate.
Just been looking on PH...on the lookout for a white one,bit more than i wanted to spend though.

I'd pay good money for a clean 5 but not 10grand
I'd pay decent money for a decent 5 but 10k is stupid
