Hi,

although new to the forum, I've had a plethora (anybody who doesn't know that word, just go on YouTube, type it in followed by 'The Three Amigos', sit back and giggle) of performance stuff inc an original low-mileage Audi ur quattro, TVR Chimera 5.0, Sierra RS500 with tiny, tiny mileage, and a mint classic Impreza Turbo.

I'm looking for a car to put a smile on my face, but the ability to carry family in; Woman, my other half, is geetting a new BMW X5 or a Range Rover Sport for her new job as a Dealer Principal at a Prestige Car Marque.

Are there any images of the car available, what does the service history comprise of (eg stamps in the book, receipts etc) etc

I am definately interested (the main reason I joined the forum, as I want a WR!)

Thanks

Welcome rtz62 and goodluck in your search for a mint wr1. You wont regret your purchase, they are awesome. Get some pics downloaded of your car collection in the garage section please, would love to see the mint RS500 Cosworth!! And the Impreza!
Brings back memorys!

Hi rtz........ if thats what we're going to call you ! WELCOME !

Thanks for the welcome; the names Andy, but my wife calls me... well it's unprintable!

The Classic Impreza, RS500, ur quattro and TVR are all historic; i.e I did own them, now gone due to impending business venture (and yes, I will reveal all when its up and running!) but I'll endeavour to find some images of the cars and post them in the appropriate forum.

My interest in the WR1 is I've always made sure I get the best car available of whatever make/model I'm buying (hence the 10k from new RS500, the low mileage ur etc) and thats why I'm looking for a low owner/low miles WR1.....

Hi sorry havent had anytime to post any pics yet what with the weather being so bad once i get chance to give the car a good clean i will take some decent pics

Sorry mate but that a shocking advert for a car!!

From the sound of it its a pretty good one at that so why do an half hearted few lines?

Get a propare advert up - detailed with pictures and Im sure it will sell quickly

I personally wouldnt buy off anyone not prepared to write descent advert, makes me wonder what else cant they be ars*d to do like looking after their car.

Hi,

sorry if I sound confused, but within the site I searched for 416 and came up with this;

[url]http://www.wr1oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10581&highlight=416

which suggests in 2009 416 had done 40k?

Am I mis-reading this, just plain stupid or what???[/url]

Hi rtz62 yes 416 has that thread about it because somebody on here said they owned but they owned 412 clearly not all that bright, i had the same trouble when i looked at buying this car originally too which i started that thread and one of the owners on here actually called the guy, the car is a genuine low miler with only 2 owners, i will sit down tonight and email the pics that i have and all the details of the car also, the car wont be ready to go until the end of or beginning of next month as its booked into have the wheels refurbed as the paint is flaking on them along with new tyres

Thanks for the prompt clarification!

Nothing worse than inaccurate information which can adversely effect the provenance of a car.

If you pm micktype wr1 he will tell you about the car as he actually called the owner to varify the correct mileage and build number

Quite correct Lee. The owner was shocked (but polite) when I quizzed him about the mileage for his car. AS YOU WILL HAVE READ BY NOW, it was genuine as it was someone else who appeared to have made the mistake.

Just for info, I was sent an email from the owner with photos of the service book etc......... ALL IS UP FRONT with this really good example of a low mileage ONE.


That's why Lee bought it Andy !

Thats not what you told me on the phone Mick, you said it was a right bag of spanners and to stay well clear



Just kidding, looks like a mint example, good luck with the sale.

Hi have been looking for a 1 for a while and PM'd about this car 10 days ago, no responce!, in Kent also. Martin

Hi martin iv had no pm from you regarding the car only rtz pm'd me to which i replied , if your interested in the car pm me with your email address and i will send you more info about the car regards lee

Thanks for all the constructive comments above people.

If anyone is interested I was trying to help him make a sale.

These cars are not the easiest to sell and as you have pointed out above mine took a long time to sell, 6 months to be precise so YES I do know the perils of trying to sell one of these cars.

If you re-read my comments I merely suggested that a better advert with some pictures may help in his quest as the few lines he had put didnt stand out enough, there are loads of these cars for sale but very few with the mileage mentioned above so use that to try and sell it.

Any personally comments were just my own thoughts as a potential buyer for any car not just this particular one.

It seems that you really cant help people or have an opinion on this forum anymore.

GLWTS the sale matey hope you can sell it soon enough and Im sorry for hijacking your post.
