Fair price for this unique example. First six cylinder S14 I've seen.(Though I can't make out where the extra two are in the pic.)

You could get a genuine supercar for that much money. If it's a classic you're after, a supercar still, for possibly a little less. 8O

I'd like to understand, if anyone can advise, how do they come across these "gems" and what would they have paid to be able to crack one out at £85k. Wonder what their margin would be on this?

Does look like a nice car

Probably sale or return with a 5k+ margin.

Just a guess, they might own some of them, Bazza could tell you more!

I'll wait to see what he has to say. :)

It certainly makes sense for them to take that option. The seller doesn't have to do anything (other than shell out the £fee) and ML enhance their reputation by putting out another sought after turd. I don't think they'll have bought it for £30k to pitch it at £85k, but even that would make sense.

Thing is, what Indi has £500k to put in to stock which may or may not sell, yes there is some value in the association of old rare desirable turds, but there wont be many they can source for £35k to sell for £85k. To fill the show room, they must need other customers cars, TBH a lot of these places will have good loyal customers who will end up asking if they would be interested in buying/selling the car and it so happens Munich Leg-ends have a few!!!

All stock is indeed sale or return for a fixed fee plus any work that needs doing to prep the car for sale which is found on inspection prior to sale. The work is then carried out by us and in most cases the seller pays for this.

In your opinion is it worth the price?
In my humble opinion rhd kills it for me personally but there are people out there (including people on this forum) who just don't get on with LHD.

It's a very nice low mileage evo 2 which some people prefer to the sport Evo and there will be a victim for it and no doubt it will sell for circa £40k and as they say, something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it! :)

When did you start working for ML? I was under the impression you had started working for yourself.

Whoever buys it would be well advised to start collecting all the necessary LHD parts...just in case there is a change of mind in the future.

Apparently it makes 320 lb-ft. Those extra two cylinders are doing something special, wherever they are winkeye

Good old typos
