Most ludicrously priced cars for sale

[sat1983]

I am pretty sure I have a winner.

I had one of these years ago, they are nice, and I know have a following but this is taking the mick- £8,000 for a 12 year old Lupo GTI:

And old Ford seen as a 'classic' no Sierra is worth 50k Cosworth badge or not and no old Escort is worth 20-30k.

It's a mistake surely as none of their other cars seem stupidly over-priced? Perhaps it's "£795"?

Nope, those GTi's have a bizarre cult following and someone will pay that!
To put it in context, I payed less for my '06 Clio 197 with less miles

The lupo GTI has a bit of a following, so I'd imagine it's correct, have seen others up for similar money elsewhere!

Also a great contender:
Audi A2 for almost 20k€

£13k. For a Volvo 240.

Though I have to admit, if had the money to spunk I'd be tempted. Slap a set of steelies on and you'd be laughing (all the way from the traffic lights to the blue lights).

It reads as a 2002 model in that ad....

It's an x reg, old style plate.

Almost fourteen grand for a 2005 BMW 318ci convertible....

Fair cop, didn't notice that. Looks quite upto date for 12 years old, but not £8k's worth

[fuzzymonkey]

Is that garage with all the old delivery mileage MG Rovers still going? That was always worth a laugh!

[chriscoates]

That is the more extreme end of the spectrum but generally expect to pay £4-5k for a decent one - I paid that for a 2003 with 49k on it. People say it's ridiculous money but they sell quick even at that price, when I was looking I rang up about a few that had already been sold and you'll find that aside from cars at the extreme end like the one you linked, they don't hang around for long.

[dave_s13]

This is priced at £12450




It is essentially, exactly the same as

This

£750


Which is essentially the same as this...


£495

I find it hard to see how anyone would pay over 12k for what is over a 15yr old design of car, especially when you can get a facelift version, which is a completely new design of car, for a couple of grand less.

Knew they had a following but that is taking the piss!

You can get a decent low mileage Golf GTI with all the toys for the same money.

Christ those Audi A2's are disgusting...

How about this one for a good laugh, I pray to god they were off their face on acid while doing the advert: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2013...

EDIT: Vauxhall's are obviously very keen, this one is definitely an up and coming Classic Car, given the price, amirite? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

To be fair, they are clearly just typos.

[Otispunkmeyer]

6 or 7k for a fiat coupe 20V turbo. Granted it had a receipt for over 14k worth of mods including a forged engine block at 4k alone. But at the end of the day it's a bit old hat and all the others are about 1/6 the price.
