You are right but rarities ARE expensive...

I don't really understand the seller if it is the same steering wheel... He bought it in America, there was a reserve price and he sells it without a reserve price in Japan!! And the steering wheel should be NEW, the other one bought was used but in very good condition... Is it a copy then from the first one??

Counterfeiting? In Japan, I wouldn't be surprised at all LOL

I noticed exactly the same, not risking that kinda cash, especially without knowing if and where i could get an adaptor

Yep too dangerous, I don't really trust the seller...

126 eur, 1 hour and 30 minutes...

I'd buy it....there's probably a logical explaination....

1) It's probably the same wheel, but was in mint condition, so he's saying 'new' and being pretty cheeky!
2) Buying from Japan...if he takes Paypal, the risk is low...
3) Adaptor..get one machined / make one - if you can afford the wheel...

cheers

Yeah but why does he sell the wheel, without a reserve price? He bought it only 2 months ago for 296$!! (reserve price)

The price isn't rising at this time, 126 eur is still acceptable I think...

But I don't REALLY like that wheel, that's the problem lol I find the normal one very good designed, very nice with the dashbord.

Well exactly - if the standard 360 wheel wasn't so nice, I might be tempted!!

Perhaps he has decided he doesn't want it, and just wants as much of his money back as he can, but with a guaranteed sale? I've done this before... The danger with a reserve / high starting bid is that the item doesn't sell at all!

cheers

Wasn't me, im having to save up £15 quid to get a new set of front disks for the GLT from Euro Car Parts, so i think that price is a little out of my league!

This coming from the guy who owns, taxes and insures THREE 300s! No wonder you're having to save hard for those disks...

cheers

The steering wheel itself is useless without the Boss or fitting kit which can be sourced either from VOLVO or MOMO. I have contacted MOMO in the past and they replied that in order to remanufacture one they require minimum order of 10 pieces.

I'd like to say it was worth it, but it would take at least £1000, for 10 of us to buy the wheel first! I'd love the wheel, but im not into payiong premiums!

Cheers
