how long is a piece of string...IM roadster question

As I say, appreciate its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string...
But wondering how regularly reasonable condition IM Roadsters come up for sale in the forum. Tossing up various options (this included).
Any estimates from the gurus on the forum, much appreciated.
regards Julian

Julian,

Not very often. Intermeccanica "cranks out" around 24 cars a year (roadsters and speedsters) so there is not a very large used car base. In addition to that, during the late '90's and early '00's, many were sent to Japan.

If I were looking for a Roadster, I'd give Henry a call and ask him. He brokers previously owned IM's for owners and occasionally gets a call from an owner asking if he knows of a buyer.

Good Luck,

Dale

thanks Dale. Doesn't suggest waiting for 1 on the forums is a very realistic option.

Use "I'm looking" as excuse to attend autoshows - like Carlisle or LoveLand gathering. Meet current owns who always know a friend who is moving on to something else or having hard finiancial times. There ebay too - just get someone experience to check it out BEFORE bidding.

It is possible. I bought my older IM on this forum about 5 months ago. Just have to be quick on the draw and know what you are looking for.
roll up windows? pan based or tube frame? Size of engine etc.
Also know your import laws (I assume you are not in US) or if you are in the US check out your states registration laws very carefully, this can save you a lot of grief and red tape. I bought out of state and I am jumping though a lot of hoops getting registered. But I knew what I was getting into so no big deal.

Good luck

Julian - I assume you're aware of the ones already listed? There are three cars currently listed on IM's website, as well as one owner on this forum with a car currently listed here.

thanks for all the comments. I'm in Australia and I've already been warned about the red tape wars to follow! Guess I'm stubborn and not prepared to stop me.
Thanks Felix, wasn't aware there was 1 for sale on the forum, I'll check it out.
Re IM's website, I'm waiting for an email as to whether the listed cars are still for sale, not clear to me how old these postings are.
As I say, thanks for the guidance - as you can tell, I'm just starting out on this journey.

Julian, The intermeccanica site is fairly up to date and any time I have contacted Henry and the gang they usually get back to me within 48 hours.

Good luck
