Sonder Fahrt

my transmission died at approx 40k miles (30.000 refurbished, 45.000 new) and while this was done i had the clutch redone for 10.000. you need it serviced every 2 years, and after a small service 4.000 you need a large one 12.000 with enigine out. i guess clutch every 45k miles. everything else isnt cheap as well. in my view you need to do this, otherwise the value declines. owning a cgt, my life changed, my perspective for money is different now. everything else seems to be cheap.

Confused - I bought a brand new CGT clutch off the shelf for 9k just to have.

Why would a refurbished vs new be a 15k difference.

What do you mean your transmission died - a full engine out clutch etc runs 28 - 33k if there are other items neglected etc then add those in but a lot has to do with how the car was maintained for 13 years prior.

Serviced every two years - oil change and filters?

Owning a CGT is no more expensive than any other exotic - unless the driver has no idea how to use it and glazes the clutch.

Ferrari or Lambo or whatever 45k miles and see what it costs - let alone an F40 F50 F1 959 ... go see what those run over 13 years and 45k miles the CGT will seem cheap.

I think he's saying that a new transmission costs 30K (refurbished) or 45K (new). Why would someone need a new transmission at 45k miles is the real question.

You are correct which is a first odd everything went at the same time.

Then he added

...you need it serviced every 2 years, and after a small service 4.000 you need a large one 12.000 with enigine out.

We all know the proper dealers have the CGT dialed in for service and costs - agree curious.

Boggles my mind to try to understand the level of self-restraint an owner must have to not drive his car more than 1000 miles in over a decade. If purchasing a half $1 million car is a viable prospect, then having it appreciate a few $100k over a decade seems insignificant. Do you think this owner actually purchased it for this intent? No amount of future money potential could stop me from using a CGT as intended.

I guess when you also have a 918, a P1 an Enzo, f40, and more you have to share the love!

while none of my cars are at the level of a CGT, I have to make a concerted effort to make sure they all get driven once in a while.

Very possible that the owner bought two - one to drive and one to be a garage queen and appreciate in value. IF he did it right, he could sell the one garage queen and it would have paid for both.

Let's guess it's been sitting for 10+ years - a car designed to keep it's owners alert when properly serviced can't imagine the brain damage to put the CGT back to being itself or it remains a very nice dust collector.

under 1k miles asking under $900k - dealer car

looks like a good deal ?

Are you looking for a car, or just mad people are asking what they are for theirs?

Not understanding how/why a used car salesman ended up in the CGT forum bashing asking prices??

Looks like a sweet car to me..... Price of a legend.

I have inquired about the car. made an offer was not accepted. not a good deal imho or I would have bought it
