Seriously Overpriced Cars
Discussion
They've been going a while so I'd say they shift some stock. They seem to turn them over pretty quickly as well. Some of their mark ups are silly though, I saw a mark 2 Golf GTI on Car and Classic for sensible money. A few days later it was on their site for a lot more, and it wasn't on there for long either!
But my example above, 10k's worth of difference is madness. I am pretty sure they are giving private sellers their asking price, then marking it up by nearly 50-70 %.
There's a Mk1 Scirocco Storm on there for 14.5k, FFS! Laughable.
Even in the Renault 5 example above it has a "parking dent" in it!!

I remember the same thing happening with a low mile Corrado G60 that was for sale on another forum I use. Think it sold for about £6k only to re-appear on their website for over double that! I thought this was a typo. This looks like £4ks worth of XJS for....£20k? And 161k on the clock?

let me put it this way....you could have one mint 993 turbo or:
1 x 92 Lotus Elan SE
1 x Saab 900 Turbo cabriolet
1 x Jag XJ6
1 x DS
1 x Peugeot 504 Cabriolet
1 x Renault Alpine
.........all well spannered and running nicely. Because I always had a he'll of a problem in front of the pic n mix as a kid I would chose the latter option for my (rather large) garage.
And I'd still prefer the 993.1 x 92 Lotus Elan SE
1 x Saab 900 Turbo cabriolet
1 x Jag XJ6
1 x DS
1 x Peugeot 504 Cabriolet

Mercedes G Wagen
first thing that came into my head was a G wagen. even early 90's G's are asking for pretty strong money let alone the more current 500 and 55's, which the majority also seem to be left hookers... I reckon the newest G63's really wont suffer that much depreciation at all compared to other luxury 4x4s.what also comes to mind and despite not being a car is VW Transporters (T5 and 5.1). they are absolutely insanely over priced on the used market.. hence why we thought stuff it and brought a new Lwb Sportline Kombi which pound for pound was a better buy.. We definitely wouldn't struggle to sell it & I think we'd get a healthy amount of money back for it when we do come to sell it.

Dunno if the recent G-Wagens are any better but when I last looked they were real rot boxes, too. People asking strong money for stuff that was falling apart.

I know it's low mileage and a Motegi, but 5k? I dont think so.

A very nice car indeed, but this price is surely taking the piss.

5 years ago this was probably a £50k car.

I think that's great. Worth 5k imo. What else can you buy for 5k? A boring vw polo, citreon picasso etc.I know it's low mileage and a Motegi, but 5k? I dont think so.

Bearing in mind
1. Bond never drove one
2. You could buy a genuine Goldfinger style Silver Birch DB5 Coupe for half the price
3. You could buy seven mechanically nearly identical DB6s for the same money
4. You could buy ten DB2/4 Mk IIIs, a car that Bond actually did drive.

"There is no battery in it so I couldn't verify the mileage, but the owner says it is definitely between 150 and 200 miles" oh, ok then.
