Nice article in Autospeed on the late-model VVTI single turbo Soarer, was Craig Dean's personal car.

My car too, and so my favourite Soarer!

Typical poor fact checking though.
And $59,000 for a 9 year old car? Are they kidding?

On any rule of thumb, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it!

Ah I didn't spot that it was that old.

Poor fact checking. Oh the irony.

I nearly bought the car from Craig about 5 years ago. It was probably the best Soarer I have ever seen. I was soooo close to buying, it was just a bit too race for my wife. I don't know where Autospeed got that figure from (maybe a typo?)as Craig offered it for a lot less than $59K. It was advertised on this site about a year ago at about $25-$30K. Whoever bought picked up a very special car; there was a lot more under the skin, and it had the best of everything. Nice article, never seen it before!
