My latest purchase for the bargain price of £90, CMC McLaren SLR. I believe the RRP is around £155+
Nice purchase! I got one myself a few months ago. Very lovely model. I got mine for only 100 bucks, and it didn't come with a box. Still in perfect condition though. Enjoy the model, I always love looking at the SLR in my collection.
Question:
I have the opportunity to buy
Exoto Jag XJR 9LM #1 131 gbp or #2 (the winner) 199gbp
Which one would you go for and why.
AMG.
They're both nice models, however:
#1 - the #1 has incorrect livery with the hashmarks
#2 - the model does have QC problems, that doesn't mean if you get one you'll have that, but there's a fair amount of people I've seen complain about this
#3 - the model quality is not worth 131gbp, let alone 199gbp, especially with the QC problems.
But hey if you have the money go for it. But if you're gonna spend that much money, might as well only settle for the exact version you want, which for your sake I hope is the #2.
When I got my Exoto Villeneuve model, I ended up paying a large amount of money for it (over $300). At the time, I got a fair amount of unexpected money, but I made sure to only settle for the very specific version I wanted and in absolute mint condition, and that was the one with umbrella from Watkins Glen. I don't think in terms of model quality it was worth that much, but for me it was a big accomplishment of finally getting one after over a year hunting one down.
Like I said if you do have the money, only settle for the very specific one you want and in excellent condition. Personally I'm waiting for the #2 Jag to be re-released, if it ever will be.
