centerfireman Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Will be interesting to see what this one goes for. It looks like they cleaned up the flooding nicely...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-Other-Roadsport-2007-caterham-super-7-roadsport-sv-2-0-zetec-svt-6-speed-lsd-only-6-k-/301066005949?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4618eeadbd&item=301066005949&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 At least they list it as a flood car. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes, it is the same one discussed on this forum. Six months ago (pre-flood) it could have been bought for $32k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.moore Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Based on the gallon or two of tire shine in those pictures, I'm guessing it will soon be back on Ebay as "slightly tweaked but easily rebuildable." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 A bit spendy for a salvage title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I can only agree with you BigDog. If it was $32k with clean title six months back why would you pay an additional $8k now for a damaged title and chassis concerns. Reading the ad carefully makes me convinced that they are reading USA7s website.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwagon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We used to rebuild totals and would never touch a flood car. Floods even fresh water get into places that one would not expect and wait some time before causing misery. It was not ethics that drove this reasoning but protection of our reputation. This still is a "parts car" and hard for me to put a price tag on due to not knowing the Cat parts market but it would top at 16k being generous. Looks like this man either has a car for is collection or is going to shaft someone, blunt statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersonRaley Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That is a very optimistic price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Some running/driving video might be a little more convincing. At the very least, I suppose the fluids have been changed twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Regardless of what we think of the price the seller is being honest regarding the cars description and title. I don’t understand or agree with recent comments that "someone’s going to get shafted", getting shafted has to do with being mislead which sounds the opposite of what this seller is doing. If someone buys this vehicle and is happy with their purchase and has done their due diligence, then who are we to say other wise.

nick47 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Nice pictures. Quick question. Do Caterhams not have a center rear-view mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Nice pictures. Quick question. Do Caterhams not have a center rear-view mirror? They come with a standard center mirror. The car in the auction had an aftermarket panoramic type center rear view mirror the last time I saw it. It appears that the mirror has been removed somewhere along the line. http://www.mirrorsforsevens.com You can see it clamped to the top of the windscreen in this photo. http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii584/scannon929/photo2_zps93da4ace.jpg Edited January 14, 2014 by scannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
