Amazing. But who would do this? Obviously a professional investor and not a car enthusiast

Yeah I saw that on trade me last night. Amazing how that has been kept in a dehumidified cocoon. Gotta give that guy respect for his efforts, im sure he is a bit more than disappointed he has to sell it.

By the way that same seller had another el gt on trade me a while back apparently that had been used, so don't write him off as a not far enthusiast. He actually works for Shane van gisbergen racing if you saw his profile. So he most likely is a car enthusiast.

He paid $76354-00 for it in 1997 so I doubt he was an investor and if he was he chose poorly on where to invest because even at 1% compounding interest he is still falling well short.
I am not a fan of these but if I had the spare dollars I would make an offer but I do know I would not be able to help myself and take it for a spin every month at a minimum.
The NZ car would be my preference but does not appear to be as well optioned as the OZ car.

[GASWAGON]

Nice car with minimum k's ever.......At 75k surely it will start to appreciate eventually? I'm sure its the lowest k car ever!

[900dukess]

I wonder if Ford would still allow the first service for free as the ad states;
"still due for its first free 1500km service"

A car that does not lose value is investment by car standards if you think about it!

Yes your quite right with that. And that one would surely be the best in NZ, and one of the best of all the EL GTs

Ye nice one! This car should realisctilly be priced at 80-100k....I cant believe how many k's it HASNT done!

[Grippy]

I feel sorry for the bloke, having such a special car and basically not driving it for 17 years.

[BradEL]

This has done more kms, but still looks very well cared for and you can bet the owner has had much more enjoyment from his car. More than 200,000 kms of enjoyment.http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/de.../?Cr=5&sdmvc=1

Crazy if you ask me.. dont drive it for 17 years, put it in a cocoon and then sell it to someone? What was the point of keeping it so new? The new buyer should do a big burnout as he drives off, blow out the cobwebs

but $76000 17 years ago is like $250000 now. How much have house prices gone up in that time?

considering the free first 'service' consists of looking at the car, making sure it still has tyres, oil and coolant, then taking it out on the road for a test drive (read: hoon) while stone cold... yes, I'm sure they will do that for free.

[BHDOGS]

85 thousand lmao hes got to be kidding

[1TUFFUTE]

Not so long ago I was at my mechanics and he had an EL GT that the owner had just paid over 50k for. He was getting a complete fluids and 100% of the car checked out. It was mint. LOVED it. Can't remember the Kay's it'd done as it's not that important to me either....I'd drive it

Oh yeah I forgot, we were also behind a nice EL GT with the number plate ELGT two days ago.

[Nikked]

Loved those photos...only thing missing was the new car smell, had to go grab the Auto Kolone and sniff it whilst drooling...

Nearly $118,000 to be exact. I get your point though.

[Nova 8]

Good luck to him and any potential buyer, personally if it were me looking at spending 75-100k on a Ford GT it wouldn't be an e series as much as I like EL Falcons I'd rather own a XA or XB GT. At least its an awesome colour.

[Franco Cozzo]

Theres been a few EL GTs listed on Carsales for ages now with high prices and they're still there.

Yea I also noticed they are all sparkling burgundy, wonder why that is.

Unfortuneately the EL GT isnt exactly known to be a 'high output' car unless it is modded.

If this owner held onto this car for another 10 years it would def appreciate.

Though i think it would be healthy for the car to be driven a bit more.

[Franco Cozzo]

I bet this EL GT fails roadworthy, needs new windscreen and wipers, LOL.

Burgundy is the most common colour, second is Heritage Green and rarest is Navy Blue.
