This has been up for sale for quite a while. Guess the price wanted speaks for itself. When I win the lottery, I might make a sensible offer!!



Yours for only £2,750,000 !!!

Koenisegg? Can’t tell what model that is.

He won't, he's been trying to move it on since March.

They are worth more according to CSL owners but he's been asking £48,000 for his car and no takers.
It's still only done 42,000 miles but 8 years of ownership hasn't seen the value rise a penny. A car is only WORTH what you can get in £££££ for it. Talk is cheap.

The blurry photo with a telephone number on it is hilarious. That car also looks like it has been dredged up from the bottom of the ocean.

Maybe yours/his isn't as clean as others. Seen quite a few sell for £50k+ without much hassle.

The point is that it hasn’t lost any money which is more than good enough for me

OK, not strictly a car, but it's registration No 193ELW - valued at apparantly £25K

the car boasts the cherished registration number 193 ELW which has been valued at £25,000.

I don't follow prices of RegNos, but it seems a bit OTT to me

Intriguingly, the cars low estimate is now 10K higher than when it went to auction 3 months ago (but didn't sell)
It's a 1982 MB 280SL BTW

Had a Kona as a rental in Spain, pretty capable off road but absolutely nasty inside, dead Hyundai steering and a wheezy engine. The idea of spending £15k on one made me laugh, never mind £40k.

Seems just insane for what was such a cheap and nasty car.

Saw this today, whilst drifting about Newlyn.

Depending on spec/mileage etc that 75 may not actually be overpriced...

[anonymous-user]

😂😂😂 not according to my trader mates, who’ve all pissed themselves laughing. If it was filled with gold bullion, it may get close.

Nice to see that Rover widened the bonnet to grill panel gap enough to change a bulb without popping the bonnet.

Hyundai also can’t make enough of them. Order book has been shut for a few months and won’t reopen until 2020 at some point.

I must admit people buying into electric at the moment aren't thinking straight. Yes you can get a used Zoe or Musk but what's the resale value like?

Really good ones regularly go for £3k plus-has to have a combination (ideally a full house!) of reasonable mileage, good spec, condition and preferably a nice/Monogram colour though. Boggo, moon mileage ones that have been used and abused are still in shed money and below territory.
