Hi Guys

Just seen this on a car auction site anyone know its story. It's broken but to what extent. It will probably be on some garage for court at the end of the month for 80k :?:

Cheers

Very interesting spec, Gen 2 with CL, red with bucket seats and a manual gearbox.... Can't be too many of those around. Wonder what is wrong with it?

Major Oil Leak and broken passenger window. I would say it was nicked and joy ridden at least. The oil leak might be nothing but even if it is some numpty at a garage mis-threaded the sump plug its a damn sham.
It will go for a stupidly high amount anyway as BCA cars normally do approach retail
 
Well I still only see a few details. But if it has a major oil leak then for me I'd go by the idiom 'hope for the best prepare for the worst'. I'd assume it might need a new engine or major rebuild, so I'd assume about £30k which is what I understand is the cost of a new engine.

Mould on the interior too so i assume its recorded too with flood damage or the like? Strange its only just come up for sale. Pinged BCA an email asking relevant questions but no reply. Manual gen 2 rare as hens teeth especially with buckets and ceramics :thumb:

No they're not. I've driven two, friend has one and I know of one other. :roll:

I suppose it depends on how rare hens teeth are. :dont know:

In fairness to DD JZM used exactly that phrase when I spoke with them. I get about a bit and I've only ever seen 2 vs dozens of PDKs.

Also there are not many people that actually want a Gen 2 with a manual gearbox, just because it is rare does not mean it is actually desirable. I would not swap my car for a Gen 2 but if I was buying a Gen 2 turbo I'd want a PDK.

Agree but thats not what I said. Just because they are indeed as rare as hens teeth by no means does this imply they are desirable. They're still rare though :hand:
