On the fence so ?
It's an old 5 speed slushpump, dimwitted and slow to respond, and feels like it's sapping 20% of the engines power like these rubbish old autos did. There is no way anyone with the slightest interest in driving specified it new, it was a poseurs car from the day it left the factory and as such I can only consider it to be contemptible

Me: Where did you ‘learn’ your spelling and grammar?
This Continental GT may not be, strictly-speaking, overpriced, but judge for yourself: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166781560389
I particularly like: "Company Director car so, always kept in immaculate condition" and "Purchaser must arrange collection from Essex before 31st May 2024" - so before the end of the auction then?

I don't think I've ever seen an ad where the pictures and the description have been more distant from one another in tone.I particularly like: "Company Director car so, always kept in immaculate condition" and "Purchaser must arrange collection from Essex before 31st May 2024" - so before the end of the auction then?

"Almost all panels are in immaculate "I particularly like: "Company Director car so, always kept in immaculate condition" and "Purchaser must arrange collection from Essex before 31st May 2024" - so before the end of the auction then?
... Almost all panels. That's a very diplomatic way of saying there is bodywork damage.
"The Mulliner interior is in great condition. Needs a clean."
What it needs is to be set thrown in the skip.
"Estimated cost to repair car is around £5K."

This is without doubt the most delusional seller we've ever had.I particularly like: "Company Director car so, always kept in immaculate condition" and "Purchaser must arrange collection from Essex before 31st May 2024" - so before the end of the auction then?

He's done well to get 'immaculate condition' into that advert. I particularly like: "Company Director car so, always kept in immaculate condition" and "Purchaser must arrange collection from Essex before 31st May 2024" - so before the end of the auction then?

Seems crazy when you can get a similar mileage 997.2 C4S for £7k less...I've always had a soft spot for 996s but a late 997 is superior in every way.

That's a low mileage, manual 4S. They only really got down to about 25k anyway, I think - I spent a bit of time looking for a blue one with a blue interior, unsuccessfully!
I believe the turbo was quite a bit cheaper than these, for a while?
Turbo has always demanded more. Partly due to having the Mezger engine, so considerably more desirable. Neighbour had a C4S and swapped for a similar excellent condition Turbo and it was about £10k more. This was at a time when a good C4S was £20-22k and 996 was £30-35k.I believe the turbo was quite a bit cheaper than these, for a while?
This does seem to be pushing it a bit at £5k for a 146k miler, and you have to ask, why didn't you sell it in France? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355759829649

Would imagine they’ve driven it back piled up with belongings. Price wise it’s probably just priced comparatively to its French counterparts. It’s the same with Spanish cars for sale in the U.K. Pointless to compare to U.K. models for same make/model/mileage/year. My Audi cost me £8k with 155km on the clock and 2006 MY. It would be a £1500 banger in the U.K.
Absolute comedy pricing - so much so that I can't believe it to be true. Also some proper tat parked in the yard for extra giggles
