Reasonable price for stolen recovered MK2 FRS ??
Not sure if it's acceptable to post links on here so I won't but there is a stolen recovered mk2 FRS on eBay, white, 49k miles, 3 owners, Lux pack 1+2, leather seats at £16,995.
Does this seem like a reasonable price, I have never really considered stolen recovered or any recorded cars in the past so am not too clued up on how it affects the value but I am going to be really pushing myself to afford a mk2 FRS so am thinking this may be the way to go.
I'm about 6 months away from having enough money to be able to buy but have been looking on eBay piston-heads etc to see what they're fetching and which ones are hanging around and not selling.
Opinions on stolen recovered prices please.

I don't look at the prices but I'd say that's a bit steep.
Bought my 10 plate lux 1 plus leather in 2011 with 8k on it for £22500,sold it to ford with 13k on it in 2012 for £21500
Bought my green lux 1 plus leather for £23000 last year with 7k and sold it private for £25000 with ten more miles on it but I spent 1500 minting it up.
I'd say with that mileage I'd be expecting to pay around the high teens for a hpi clear 1 as having the marker will affect its resale value,think the rule of thumb us a third off the price of a good hpi clear car.
I'm also quite surprised they are still going for as much,there's plenty about,plenty private sales so you don't have to buy from a dealer and pay their markup so I'd say stop teasing yourself till you have the money then you can afford to be picky and bide your time till a good car comes along for the right price.

Think that is about right was also looking at that one but have seen a few also seen a few straight ones now dropping to around £17500 so are they starting to loose there value due to the mk3 coming out very tempted to sell my concourse S2 to buy one of these.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
From what I've seen it sounds about right, often hard to move on a cat c/d so bear that in mind. Appears to be a few that look half decent for around £20k and I think now is a good time to buy as some folk are chopping their cars in for a mk3.
