Thread: The most expensive P38 I've seen recently.

The same car was posted recently in another thread. From that thread, it's a Matar Motors car:

Hi

To quote a great Australian "Tell him he's dreaming"

It's a BOSCH motor with GEMS intake?

I don't like the headlights or the side vents and carrying the spare on the roof is a no no for me.

So maybe drop a decimal place off the price

Thanks for the answer Steve I was looking for the bananas ".....didn't know you could use the gems.

I guess you could use a THOR block and heads, but then it really becomes a GEMS anyway once you hook up the GEMS stuff

The other thing which I don't like is the amount of airflow those lights block out.

And given all the HID stuff on it I wonder what alternator it has and how long the BECM will last !

Yep....a p38 electronic nightmare.

I'd pay $12-14k max, with an engineers certificate.
As said, you never get close to what you put into cars in terms of resale.
I know a bloke who built up a D2 with a 5L V8, almost every other option, rims, tyres,etc. He took a $70k loss selling it.

And the reason for selling without RWC?......

It may seem a lot but not when compared to a new 4WD.

Agreed. Most people dont realise how much they spend on mods. Think how much you have spent over the years on the LRs and it adds up quickly. I think given the work its on the high side but still worth a decent price range. New 4wds are $80k stock, the add gear and its quickly $100k...
