I know Sport 160 models are quite expensive, but would you ... with that mileage?

Surprising to see a Lotus main dealer retailing something with such high miles!

£130k Alfa Guilia? Unless I’m missing something, it’s a limited edition - but not a CSL a-like. Looks like 50% premium on a car you could likely discount anyhow.

That is the most mental thing I've seen in a long while. A pair of boots and a scale model for 60k more than usual. Oh dear.

"I brought this car as I am a bit of an enthusiast and like all things rare and different." which is why he's flipping it after 90 miles.

I sometimes wonder if they do things like that so that when they knock 40k off it looks like a relative bargain.

There's a house near me that sold last year for 275k less than it's now on the market for. They've done nothing more than tidy the place up.

I'm guessing Marco isn't from this country, or, considering the price, this planet.

So it went for 7295 (that's if the deal happens of course)...... So the buyer got a bargain (maybe it should be Borgin?biggrin) as the seller's Uncle paid 9500 for it!

It could have been worth that if it had more power or some sort of track set up to differentiate it to the standard models, M3/M4 GTS’s are all 100k plus along with the C63 Black, rightly so.

Just looks like a standard one with perhaps a wrap lol.
I'd no idea they did a special edition QF and I genuinely wonder what they will be worth in 5 or 10yrs. Massively overpriced. 20k over stock pricing would have looked cheeky!

Who knows if this is overpriced but it's a lot of money for an old van.....
