Hi Chazer

Welcome to the forums. The car you want (a manual GPX) is one of the rarer models available, in saying that, you should be able to pick up a decent one if you keep a close eye on the Buy&Sell (esp.), CBG and Autotrader. Steel Silver and Pyrennes Black where the two most common colours so you shouldn't have much trouble on the front.

Have a good look through the forums, theres plenty of info on hand for the potential owner. If you have any specific questions, just shout.

Hi Chazer

Yep welcome to the fold, The best of luck in finding what you want but my advice is be prepared to wait don't just buy the first one that comes along i was looking for 5 months and test drove several manual FTO's before i got the right one. But good luck :!: :!:

Well for a start, that figure of 214bhp is well off, unless he's done something special with the engine (which is doubtful). If you give him a call, tell him that the GPX is rated @ 198bhp, a full stainless exhaust with cat bypass and an induction kit will do well to liberate 10bhp.
You should be paying anywhere between €5.5k and €6.1k for a 94 manual GPX in good condition

I'll tell you what i think, i'd wana see the power graph for the 214 bhp as they only came in at 197 bhp as standard and that was on 100ron fuel and with engine wear and tear it will drop not increase plus it is too expensive for a 94, even if it is a manual. it would have to be some car to get that price or have at least some good mods on it

Robert, the fact thet the GPX is manual means you'll sell it quicker. What colour is is by the way? Any mods?

My advice - get out and take a look at some of the models in the Buy and Sell. It's very easy to compare once you have seen a few and some will be in much better condition than others.

Robert, you'll have to host the pictures on another web server and use [IMG] tags to reference them. Otherwise, email them on to me and I'll upload them for you.
