As title, saw this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-RENAULT-5-GT-TURBO-WHITE-COMPLETE-RESTORATION-/180501829410?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a06bf5722) & had a chat with the guy, got the price down a tad. Now I know the car is minty mint but can I justify spending 5k on a GT Turbo, or do I hold out for a slightly modded one that could end up a rot box..:crap: :sad2:
I just don't know what to do :cry:
plus would I spoil the car by adding engine mods ?

Dude, if you're that serious about buying a GTT for that kinda money, I could be tempted to part with mine...and I wouldn't want £5k for it either.

See the other post I listed things missing or wrong with this car.

Have a close look it has the wrong back shelf, none OE gear knob, none OE stereo, missing the towing eye cover and has saggy rear door cards.

I've got a short list at the moment, Maka's 5 & been offered a swap for an interesting car with efi... just don't want ot buy a rot box hence looking at the restored one, but not sure I can part with 5k for a GT Turbo, I mean I'm an enthusiast but.....

Not the last time I bought some they didn't, but they are expensive.

Serious? I thought you knew about Whitey? If the price is right, I'd consider selling.
