The 'HOW MUCH?!!!' classifieds thread.

[Pommygranite]

Looking through the classifieds found these two:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1885282.htm - A 25 grand Astra 1.9 CDTi convertible!



and

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1994653.htm - a 5 grand, 6 year old Alfa 156 1.6.




Not too extreme but still, some sellers are chancers.

I await the first pic of the Citroen DS3 Racing

I would put that at about the right price. Good ones go for a lot of money.

Even an old RS2000 can go for around 15K.

That is crazy. Nice looking car but it is still a 20 year old mass produced ford rotbox.

Sellers believes that cause he has spent so much money on the car, he should get it back. All he has done is take it from a knackered 20 year old RS turbo, to a rebuilt 20 year old RS Turbo. Still only worth 5k

JTD 16V badge - it's a 1.9 diesel. Instils confidence in the seller. Similar price to other dealer sales of similar vehicles though.

They have advertised it in the M3 section! So looking for a M3, and they have advertised a vile (fortunatly one-off) 328 convertable that needs a new interior.

The Ad said:

It is available for £36000 which saves nearly £2500 against the list price for this spec

£2500 off - that's ok then.

To you and me, but there are some Ford fetishists out there who will pay 'silly money' for that sort of thing. Horses for courses and all that. Still bonkers in my eyes though!

The market for that sort of car is tiny. Especially considering that you could have a full Cosworth 4x4 Saph drivetrain and engine Mk4 Escort for the same money. It'll do well to make £10K I reckon.
