Maybe so but this has not sold. A strong indicator that it is valued too high. I do like the fact that this LE is showing people what these cars should be valued at though. However I cant see it selling at this price. Good luck to Edz though

spit Unregistered S	As far as I am concerned,it is heaps of money when you see what coupes,some in very good condition are going for. I still think you are right in what you called the original for sale thread. Last edited by spit; 05/04/2010 15:31.

Nello Unregistered N	Bloody 'ell Edz that really does look nice. If I was still in the market for a good LE I would have been interested. Even at that money what else can you get? Looks superb I was lucky when I got mine. MotorMech is not far from me and looks after all my cars. I happened to ask him if he knew of any good LE's for sale and not long after I bought his!! I originally wanted a Chrono but TBH (and Silver was my last choice really) they look great in all colours IMO. Last edited by Nello; 07/04/2010 12:53.

P.S. it was an engine mount not the driveshaft. Apologies for nicking the thread momentarily Back on subject...I do like the PIU bumber (looks awesome on the pic with the Zonda) I personally think EDz car is bang on as it is....I would maybe put the standard wheels back on it....but thats just me Back Owning a Coupe
