    I hate seeing these

    I hope I've read this wrong... but I just noticed in the marketplace (under the ebay sticky) that this item was sold on e-bay yesterday for way less than it should have been...

    Range Rover Autobiography (1997) 4D Wagon 4 SP Auto (eBay item 280638976176 end time 09-Mar-11 09:45:49 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

    I don't want to upset anyone, especially the seller Dallas, but is it rude to ask if anyone is selling their P38 to try and let us know here? I wouldn't have minded a dig at that one, I have a scale version on the trophy case!

    So did anyone here buy it?

    I would that would have been a good price for a 97 P38 - despite the wishes of a whole bunch of people the market has decided long ago that P38s are not worth much - as a result a lot of people are really happy as they can buy a lot of car for not a lot.

    I actually went and saw it, nice ride.

    The bad points were:
    needed a new paint job on the bonnet and roof
    couple of mandatory scratches here and there
    needed a new CC ecu
    roof lining was sagging.

    The good points were:
    Leather interior was in relatively good nick
    only done about 150,000 Kms
    Heaps of new electrics, updates to Bosch etc
    Dallas had a faultmate so kept on top of everything
    the trip computer said he was averaging 17L/100Km. (he also lives in a pretty hilly suburb)

    Overall, I found it to be a really nice RR, and being in the market for one, found that the person who bought it probably got slightly better value for money

    It is pretty hard to get anything like the money a P38 should comand.
    P38s are the most undervalued vehicle on the road in my opinion.
    Sure they are pricey to buy parts for but most work on them can be carried out by any competant back yard mechanic.
    It was fair value for a 97 just the same.

    No issue with the price (although I would like to have paid so little and agree they should all command much better values), I'm just disappointed I couldn't add a nice looking autobiography to my non existant P38 collection! What P38 Tragic wouldn't want a lower volume/limited edition version or two?
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.
