Nice Speedster on ebay

I hope someone on here buys this. So tempted to bid but know that it would be hard to drive with 2 broken legs.:P
Minister of finance would arrange that little accident I think

Geez that's nice..buy it Dean! You can always have the car retrofitted with a joystick so you dont ned your legs to drive the thing..it would be worth the pain.

must be lost wa plates and selling on the east coast dont he know we have money over here too!

isn't $15k a bit steep for a kit car?

Guess that explains why he's had so many bids.

thats beautiful

Ages ago and I mean ages ago when i new nothing about VW,s I had a look over this verrry same car with my the girlfriend who thought having one would be cool. Can't remeber to much other than the guy was a bit of a jerk. He said that lots of the car was original but it looked a bit shabby to me and that was over 10 years ago. The asking price was a mear $35 000.
Id say that $15000 is over priced unless some work has been done.

for someone trying ot sell a car. he does not seem very forthcoming with answers...:duh

How is that any different to any other used car salesman?

I'd say this guy is just a wholesale seller and actually has no idea about specifics.

Based on the age of this car I'd doubt very much it's a platinum either.

And immaculate? It looks mouldy to me.

Sold for $16,100. Bargain IMHO.

The kits for speedsters are pretty expensive. Ive had a look and it was 24k for just the fibreglass body (nothing else) which was not painted or fitted with anything, just the absolute shell. And this was an aussie supplier.

I have found cheap ones else where over the internet, but they are from US and mexico, and i doubt it would comply to our aussie road regulations/design rules. NZ had one as well, but they were the same suppliers as that aussie manufacturer that i mentioned, and are expensive too (in my opinion for just a plain kit).

You can get a fully constructed kit ready for bolt to the chassis and just drive out for 40k ($39,900 anyways).

So for 15k for a fully constructed kit replica is quite cheap in my opinion. 😀

went and saw this. was a good example. and a lot of story behind it too.

apparently sold out of ebay! even though had a winning bid.
now this totally sucks hey, how did you go Wes!!

i didnt want a bidding war and noticed the bit saying it could be sold elsewhere adn therefor retracted. apparently some old bloke from sydney,amde some offers b efore the bidding finished. bummer. i was keen, as it was a good example. big issue for rego in nsw though.

so the last bid was yours. bummer andy.

:cussing

ooh yeah. have wanted one since i was about 12. missed out on a few over the years. this time i thought i would try different as it was suggested it was advertised elsewhere. but maybe i shoulda jsut went for it. ah well.
gotta say teh bloke seemed sincere. he had a fair bit of interest from all ovr the place, and said to me from teh outset that the most would win.
good luck i suppose to the bloke who got it.

Keep lookin 2G. They are out there. If I hadnt have bought the T3 Ghia I would have gone in hard on this one. Missed out on the last one on ebay because I hung back and have regretted it ever since.

dont i know that feeling. sad part is i did offer more htan the clsoe bid, but less than someone else obviously... 😢 and rode a 14hr round trip on my bike. shoulda jsut done a deal htere and then. all these leasons you learn. 😢 😢
