I would price them as low as possible to compete with Corvettes and things of the like. From watching TopGear I do not have a very good oppinon of those things.. Sound and look mighty mean though! The power numbers dont sound as good considering how much it weighs. In England that model goes 29 thousand pounds I think? so if you sell it here for 55-60 it will be a steal.

is that street legal? Are you able to provide warranty and customer service?

cannot you just find out how much do they sell in europe and convert the price along with ratio with other cars such as m3 or 911 turbo?

I <3 TVRs.

For a street legal Sagaris, I feel the perfect price would be my 2004 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII, $10, and a ham and cheese sandwich.
If you are interested in making this trade, please pm me, so I have time to make the sandwich.


In all actuality, I think it would be great if the Sagaris could be priced to compete with the Exige and Cayman S.

Oh.
In that case, charge whatever you want, I'll get an Exige instead.:keke:

My only question is why are you asking this question to a bunch of people with 15 year old entry level japanese sports cars?
We lowball each other over used wheels........

It's worth more than your S15 :D

But on a serious note, that's my favorite "realistic to buy" car

Price it the same as a Carerra 4S, which is about 80ish, I believe (I could be wrong on this)

The reason why I say that is because people buy horsepower numbers, most people don't know much more, so as long as the car has a high hp number, looks cool, is rare, people will buy it up.

Cost is more then 80k from the dealer in the UK

I'm pretty sure its fast but nothing to be proud of. I wouldnt pay more than 25k for that thing, 35k will get me an Ariel Atom. Plus the interior is cheap and also your elbow would have to be at a 90 degree angle just to shift. If it costs over 70k I'd think people here would rather get the new upcoming GT-R. :naughty:
!Zar!

Cheap interior? Try the new lambos. They start falling apart after a few months.
I say $80k is a good price. Almost a steal for what it is.

^^^they are VW and all....I'm going to to get a new Jetta and brag to people how it has half a Lamborghini motor in it.
