Thought I'd miss heard the price in the preview - he's bought it for a grand :o
Commercial break time . . .

I'm starting to think it's all set up, a grand for the car was crazy money even if it did need a new gearbox !
 
That episode has been doing the rounds for a while..................the original price paid smells like a kipper.
Parts-wise even for a private seller at least double that.
986's are great value.
 
I love watching WDs, but it's unrealistic. Ed spends days on the cars, often doing things even a competent home mechanic would touch, so the reality is it's probably costs times as much as they suggest.

I've also heard stories that they only sell about 50% of them with the rest being fake sales on camera to production staff.

Doesn't matter though as its still good viewing.

I think I would go for that. My E Class with AMG trim is leather with alcantara down the middle, and is really comfy, and looks great.

A bit of a random post in a wheeler dealer thread haha

Not sure anyone has but I think it would look great, also would stop you sliding about as much on hard driving :)

There are quite a few Auto Seat trimmers here in the West Mids. I had my MG re leathered in the 90s by a guy in Walsall Wood he is a legend, all the classic car nuts use him, might sound him out on the cost for the Z using Alcantara.
