I only buy cars photographed on gravel. Or at the least superimposed onto gravel. Makes it more classier.

<Puffs out chest> I only buy my supercars if they have been dipped into a crappy 4" lake.

Unless it's an E6x bodykitted to not look like a bangle car

That really is an honest to goodness order of magnitude overpriced.

Definitely didn't! The E39 dates back to pre Bangle times.

I've seen a few 540I with a m5 bumper & some replica wheels that people are asking stupid amounts of money for.

Also the ad boasts about a TV tuner... Which won't work because it'll be analogue...

[Garybee]

Also it has a V8 powered engine. Reminds me of the 'Pimp My Ride' bloke... "We powered your engine with an engine"

Hexagon seem to have a reputation, well earned I may add, of optimistic pricing policies.

How do they survive? No one is paying these prices are they?

[golfer19]

Do Hexagon even sell these overpriced cars.

Just had a quick look on BMW's website, 5 series Touring starts at £33k....

They must do. Much like 4 Star Classics they've both been around long enough that they must shift enough metal to keep the lights on otherwise they'd have gone bust a while ago

I don't understand it myself really. plenty of us have posted some of their stuff on here. They all seem to go on the basis of getting a 'premium' car that's over 5 years old with <30k miles and charging bonkers prices, even if it's not anything special.

Hexagon are quite adept at sticking a rogue "2" in front of the actual price

They've got a couple of diesel E60's for £22k as well - one isn't even an 'M Sport'. Insane.

Maybe the trick is to get the punter interested with the default 'white background' shots, then attract him to do a deal by knocking up to 50% off. Punter thinks he's getting a bargain, actual sale price is still way over list, everyone's happy?

[krisdelta]

They seem to have the business model cracked though. They did something similar with the Z8, bought them all - massively inflated the price and the whole market shifted as a result of it. I guess it seems mad if you think about the "normal" business model of turning cars over ASAP, but they can obviously afford to sit on them until someone bites.

A fair few 5 Star cars are being sold on behalf of owners so there's no outlay anyway.

A LHD pinto engined Dutton for over 20k?
where's my chequebook?


Wow, this seller must have been smoking something good, its worth about 10% of that!

[e21Mark]

£26 500?! Bloody Hell.

I'm in the market for one of those. Would happily give £6k for that, reckon I should give them a call and tell them what its worth?
