There's a better bargain on eBay atm, a stat write off AUIII XR8 in full running order with all panels and the V8 supercar front bar. 220kw engine and manual, yours for a buy it now price of 4k and it has been listed a couple of times now.

I'm damn tempted to grab it, too bad my holiday wiped out my funds.

Well I'm going to find out.......I just bought it!

Had an offer of $5,000 as soon as I bought it from a guy that wanted the whole car to put on the track.

Spoken at length to the owner (Has his other XR8 on AUFALCON.com) seems like a nice honest guy and has confirmed that the engine and gearbox is in great condition. Only 70,000 odd k's on the clock. Owner seems to know what he's talking about.

I'm going to be using the engine and stripping/selling the rest of the car, let me know if you want anything.

Whats a fair price?

I assume it will be the Gearbox, flywheel/clutch, Manual ECU and pedal box (I think thats what it's called) Have I missed anything?

Make me a good offer (Don't low ball me!) and I will consider it. I need to make some good money back on the other parts as this was the only way I could convince the missus to let me buy "Another" car.
