I'll start us off with two.

Colleague at work who firmly believes their 92k mile Saxo is worth approx £2000.

Another colleague who tells everyone all BMWs are 2.0 litre, its just the power output thats different...

"Are they paying you too much?" No, my car is worth considerably less than your 25k Golf diesel.
Thats more like it...

Just to add another I forgot. Guy in work offering his 05 plate Astra 1.4 at a special price for facebook friends... £7k.

He's still got it.

More classics in work today....all from the same person.

"The car is out in November on their website so its ridiculous the dealer is saying I will have to wait til February for delivery, I might call Head Office to complain"
[speaking of an A1 she wants to order]

"They could get other colours in shorter time but I want the official Audi colour"
[speaking of a white A1 she wants to order]

"I looked at the new Polo as well but the engine in the Audi is better"
[speaking of the 1.2TFSI A1 she wants to order]

"I looked at a Fiesta Zetec S online, but I dont want a basic model of the range I want a really good one, thats why I wanted an A1"
[speaking of the 1.2TFSI SE she wants to order]

"I want to sign sign up to a lease deal, but I'm not sure how I'll keep to the 6000 a year"
[based on where she stays, going to and from work she'll cover 6750 miles commuting alone]

This is the same girl who let a 2001 Celica go for £1800 because it was "unstable in winter" and is still paying back two loans for cars she no longer owns.
