Guys,

a freind of mine is looking at buying '96-059, its a white GT, the only options taken were 3.55's and leather interior.A pparently it's very tidy and has 70,000 miles under it's belt.

Saleen prices over here are WAY different to what they are over there, people here don't even know what a Saleen is half the dang time...

I know I paid a lot (relatively) for my 96 but thats because i valued it for what it is, its history and its uber rareity (especially colour-wise). Most of the guys here wouldnt know a saleen if it bit them in the balls..

So.. back to the point.. What do you gys think the white Saleen is worth in the states? and also, what is it worth over a standard GT in the same condition?

Thanks for the help Saleen-Appreciating-Buddies...

i'd say a nice/clean 96-98 car is worth low teen's , about $5-6k more then its equivalent condition GT. I wouldnt go paying mid- to upper teens b/c you can get the much nicer/faster 99/00 cars at that point.

I agree with Tim.

If it was perfect and I just had to have it I may pay $15,000 US for it. What's that, like 7,500 british pounds?

yeah, maybe £8000...

but then..

shipping from there = £1000
import tax = 10%
customs frees = £200
then Value Added Tax = 17.5%
then registration and inspection = £350

so it turns in to a £10,500 96 s281.. which is about $20,000 !!!!!!

its the taxes that screw things up.... the import tax on anything commercial (like an f150 etc) is a STAGERING 40% !!!!!

Happy days !!!

White Saleen worth?

Not sure how much he is willing to pay, but i'd say after seeing this car in person, it's very worth of the price, maybe knock off a $1000, but the car only has 32,xxx miles on it and is in pristine condition with the vortech.
