May be right or wrong , by my personal thoughts why people are selling. and mantas popping up in theses condition is affording to repair them or breaking them is cos nobody's got no money and living costs are going up and austerity , bad times at the movement .

Danny D114BCW Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Depends who you are i suppose. But to be honest everything is quiet at the minute (even houses aren't selling). Maybe the time of year when people get their tax refunds, go on holidays and then in August & September after the show season people will be inspired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I think the problem is that they cost so much in time and money that a lot of people hold out. But the finished cars soon fly out and don't stick around for long, i mean we currently have a waiting list! How are your projects coming on Phillip?

mantadoc Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 People chance their arm on ebay so lots of people see their "scrap" and make an offer outside of ebay so often things get sold for a reasonable amount "on the side". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I've found the more cars I have to do, the less I get done. That's why we are selling a couple of coupes and a couple of hatch and a cavalier centaur right now See that photobucket thing below? They want me to pay $399 to be able to show that picture of one of my cars.

Mantacoupe91 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I've just bought the red coupe with the plant growing through it. If you had read the description it has had the floor pans removed. Comes with few extras in my eyes was a good buy. I've got two gte coupes now. The way I see it some people can't see beyond the rust some good parts with the car that are worth buying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter evans Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I agree I bought a manta coupe which had been in a field for 15 years absolutely shot to bits gave £250 for it but made over a grand in selling bits from it😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
