Sad to say, my Esprit V8 is up for sale, I need to close the deal on my new house. DOH !! it is listed in the FOR SALE section

you barely owned the car.. did you actually get the liner issue resolved on it? that is great if that is the case you should try to hold on to the car

I know, it sucks, but we bought a new house and the old house didn't sell for as much as we had hoped, so I need to come up with some extra cash. It is a GREAT car !!

The liner issue was resolved by the previous owner long before I bought it by the way, so there never was a liner issue for me

great! Can you remove the tinted glass? it hurts resale..

StallionX · 06-21-2007, 06:17 PM

The motor was rebuilt and they use Holymar? this is VERY important and should add at least 5k to the value of your Esprit.. you should post this on any sales site you list your car.

Why would the tinted glass hurt resale? Tint can always be easily removed

I dunno I just noticed that on exotic cars.. people tend want them to be as close to factory as possible when they sell them..

Oh, B.S.
Black Esprits look great with tint!! (as long as it is done in red flames)
Really though, They look great with good tint. (worth $600k minimum)
