Sony Xplod XR8 for sale - Page 2

ITs UNQUESTIONABLY worth more than a standard XR8... no doubt.

Were all aware that mods in cars will never get you your money back... ever. However, this car IS worth more than $20,000. And he will probably sell it for near $30,000 in my opinion... not to me, but to someone. Comon guys, its a pretty nice car, no need to bag it out.

Anyway, its hardly something any of us should be arguing over... seriously...

Good luck to him selling what is a great show car...

Definately worth more than your average XR8. In saying that, unfortunately for the builder and the owner it's not worth double every other XR8.

I prefer the momo wheels, but definately an AU to look up to. Everything is just perfect on it.

Love the rear parcel shelf. I have a tonne of pics of it.

definately...some people are on drugs here hardcore.

The thing should be in the FDC if you ask me, its not GT, but its worth a fair chunk more than the standard XR8!

Which site is this car on?

I have heard this car's engine/exhaust.. and believe me, it's by far THE BEST note I have ever heard from a modern N/A V8!! The car did have $110 G's owing, a LOT of work went into it. I was privileged enough to be there when they drove the car into the Melbourne Exhibition & Convention Centre for the 2001 International Motor Show and put on display. Boy what a sound! Had goose bumps. I too remember Rob Herrod saying that the car was unable to be road registered in it's current form/spec's as it was in 2001. How the current owner got it registered I don't know.

As for 'rice', I always assumed that 'rice' means 'flashy car, but no go' like Hyundia excels, non-turbo Lancers, 4 cylinder cars that wanna be turboed and might look the goods but make more noise than distance.

The term rice gets used pretty loosely on this forum, and mostly to describe mods that people don't like.

Agreed 012, Ive heard this thing go and it sounds fantastic.

Im also curious about how it got registered, I think they would have had to take the Motec out to get it registered? Not sure.

I think it's worth 30-35k. I would seriously consider buying it if I had that sort of cash to spend.

mr_xr8 · 31-05-2006, 08:36 PM

i would buy it for 30-35k dam i wish i didnt start that capri project. speaking of the intake on it thats not cheap morrison wants about 6k for it and you still need up $500 of bits to fit it.

some of you guys have no idea. as if that car is not worth twice what a normal xr8 is worth .so what if he paid 28 for it. do you think that because someone paid 15 for an xa coupe 5 years ago you should not pay more than that now. i seen some real crap on these forrums before but some of these posts take the cake. i would pay 35 for that in a heart beat

Someone offered to buy my old AU off of me.

Part of his bargaining was that he knew what I paid so he wouldnt pay anymore. I laughed at him for a while then said I got it cheaper than that and sold the car for $5K more than his offer.

: Im convinced the new buyer still got a bargain.

What the seller paid for the car is irrelevant.
