Stimpy Report post Posted August 16, 2017 Short vid I made of the murci yesterday. Such a fun car to take out and drive. Nice video. Definitely bizarre that you haven't been able to sell it considering the 6-speed, the maintenance, and the price. Depressing as a fellow gen-1 6-speed owner. What do you think is going on?

megachad Report post Posted August 16, 2017 I really have no idea. I have had a lot of interest from Canada, but the conversion rate and duty taxes are just too much. It's seriously a very nice clean car. I just replaced the front brake ducting. I am taking the car to Makes and Models to have it looked over so there is a 3rd party inspection over just my personal inspection. I took the tint of the rear tail lights..I actually love the original tail lights of the early murcielago. Reminds me so much of a countach for some reason.

Stimpy Report post Posted August 17, 2017 It is strange. My guess is that it would help if you had OEM wheels on the car. The wheels on there now make the car look very modded. Maybe that scared off buyers. And I think your comment about TCS in your video could be related to the wheels. With my OEM wheels and tires, the TCS never intrudes and I never feel the need to shut it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my OEM wheels and tires, the TCS never intrudes and I never feel the need to shut it off. When I had the black 02 with stock wheels it did the same thing. We have a lot of little bumps in the roads near me though and any skip in the wheel sends the TCS into action. So I've gotten used to turning it off. Imo it is a dangerous setup. If you were in a tight corner and the wheels slipped a little and the TCS kicked in and cut power as dramatically as it does, it would through the car into a spin. Not save it from one. I do agree about the wheels. The car really isn't modded at all other than the typical exhaust, but it makes it look that way. I have also taken off the tint on the rear tail lights.. I love the original look of the tail lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Report post Posted August 18, 2017 I never had any TCS light or problem in regarding to after market wheels 19x8.5/20x13 as picture here my old 04 Murci. Maybe on your setup the ratio is more correct. I really don't know. But I do know that the TCS has never come on in my car despite driving is all sorts of weather conditions, driving styles and road conditions. Maybe they did something different with the TCS in 2004 since they did change a number of things that year and that's when they started the e-gear.

If that would make it sell faster and for more money, it would be worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_Brit Report post Posted August 19, 2017 I have heard of gated sub 20k milers going for 135k RETAIL so this at 150 does seem expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any stories on these cars? Lots of Murci's with stories, so those don't count. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent heard of a good clean car under 20k miles selling for that. I know there have been a couple rough cars change hands for that.
