It's a lot better now than it was when I got it 10 years ago! Wanna buy it back?!

its outta my price range now unfortunately, but it does look a lot nicer alright. I lived in Manchester at the time and delivered it to a lad in SOuthport or thereabouts (I think). I think he also had a Lancer 2-dr coupe that was a project. Was that you?

Previous owner on the log book is from Southport. He mustn't have had it long. I fancy something different after owning it for 10 years now- it needs a good home to go to...

When I had it, I advertised it on ebay. Some lad came round and picked a load of holes in it and offered some derisory sum, like £200 or something. I told him to GTF and let the auction run. It finished at about 400. In the meantime the Southport lad had agreed to buy it for 450, so I sold it to him.The winning ebay bidder was hopping mad that I had sold it from under his nose. I felt bad until I realised that he was the feller who'd been round in the first place making the £200 offer, at which point I felt triumphant! I think I negged him on eBay to compound his misery as well. ha ha!
Anyway when I had this car it was amazingly sound, just a bit of crustacea on the leading edge of the bonnet, otherwise it was 100% original on the metalwork I think.

Is it rude to say I think it's overpriced a bit? There has been one on ebay as well for must be over a year for £3k, just like the other £4k Starion on there. It's a nice car but I doubt it will ever sell at that price.

I think this car is absolutely stunning. if I had the cash I would make you an offer. potentially I may do in thew year but not in a position now. my problem would be where to put the second car as I don't have the space for both. so realistically could only buy the good one.

Alright there David. No offence taken from your rudeness  Tricky one really mate; don't know whether the Celeste up for 3k on e-bay has been on there for a year, but have obviously seen the advert at a time of doing a bit of researching to come up with a price on my own car. I have my own opinions on that vehicle, and whereas It may be the more desirable 2.0GT model, from the photographs posted on e-bay, it is clear to see that the car I am selling is in far better condition. I know this car inside out and can categorically say that my vehicle is in superb shape, with more tasteful (and expensive) modifications. It's full GSR spec, and has a car's worth of spares thrown in with the good one (spare glass, trim, dashboard, interior, running gear etc...). Selling it for this much has definitely not been a sound money making exercise... Thanks for your advice/feedback; interested in buying it yet?! Thought it would have generated more interest on retrorides, but I'm not gonna sell it for a silly price... |

Going to give it one more week at this, a knockdown price and if I have no interest will keep for another 6 months. The ideal car for anyone serious about owning a truly retro ride! Thanks all for viewing...

Price sounds very fair to me considering the fact it's rock solid and has had loads of work done, I think it's just the time of year. Can't buy it though, I have a less cool and more shonky Mitsubishi to deal with. Good luck anyway!

oooohh thats purdy. if you have any inclination for a ludicrous swap i have a rather splendid r33 skyline available. its a bit modern but a jab of the loud pedal helps a great deal to put that out of your mind haha.
