It is relevant if someone asks.

I think its quite a reasonable question, I mean, what is a mint 24k miles Calibra Turbo worth?

well i don't think its a rude question to ask someone how much they payed for anything, its not like ppl are asking how much do you make a week.

It is a stunning cali thou and i love the cream leather

what someone is willing to pay... i paid well over the odds for my cav turbo, probably twice what it was worth, but it was the one i wanted so i don't/didn't mind

had a look at the red one on ebay, looks absolutely stunnin in the red and its so bright, someone seems to have deffo looked after it, interior is lush too!!! be a nice buy for someone alrite!!

Re: My Calibra Turbo - minter, 24k

That cally I would pay 10grand for, if it still had less than 24K on the clocks with full service history. But I am exceptionally mad. Only cause its worth going mad over beautifull fast sexy things.

Re: My Calibra Turbo - minter, 24k

Lovely car mate! second time Ive said that about one of your cars in a week having looked at the Cav thread the other day. SUch stunning examples as this need to be kept by the scene IMHO and your doing a grand job!

10K , It would be my last chance to catch a boat!!! I have missed all along on a decent calibra Turbo with genuine low mileage still in a showroom/pristine condition !

But I am glad its gone to a decent owner who is well looking after it, even garaged it for the winter. whereas I would probably use it as my work horse towing bags of sands and cements and carry step ladders inside seats folded!!:

no chance of that, its staying as it is and i'm gonna get a set of standard dealer plates put up for it...

the cav's my first love but the cali isnt neglected had all the belts/pump etc done before it was tucked away, could well see a carcoon bubble cover before long to live in aswell

who knows some day i might get a ridiculous offer that i'd sell it for, otherwise its gonna get a relaxing life with occasional use
