Seriously Overpriced Cars

I do like this, in fact I like it a lot. But £25,000 for a 26 year old Volvo with 143,000? Seems about £20k overpriced to me. It's for sale at a main dealer too which seems odd, but it is in Bradford, anything goes in Bradford.

There's a red one for sale with 79k miles, just under £11k, still expensive, but more than half the price of this one.
Oddly man moons ago I had a volvo from that dealer and there was a yellow t5r just like that for sale at an elevated price back then - wonder if its the same one.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106173...

£25,000 for an ek9 civic type R
Not bothered by how mint/original it might be, its the kind of crazy price I'd expect from a dealer taking photos with a DSLR.

I may be wrong but I think that one's on here somewhere. The plate looks a bit familiar.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106173...

For thirty grand I'd like my exhausts to be on straight. And I'm not sure that bodykit fits properly either. That's a lot of money for a high mileage novelty.

They will be lucky, I think it's about 10K over what it should be.

Yet Autotrader says its a fair price and is only £1100 too much?https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107064...

At school someone once told me a story that someone had a 1.4 Escort and put a bodykit like that on it, then swapped in a Cosworth motor so they basically had a cut price (albeit FWD) cossie.
Then they got caught doing 120 in a 30, so swapped the 1.4 back in, and when it went to court they got away with it because there was no way a 1.4 Escort could do those speeds.
This guy told lots of stories though, kind of like Jay from the Inbetweeners.

Clean turbo wagon money but a detailed description that makes up for it

I can't stop laughing at it - even though they've got an awesome 6.3 they still stick "bi-turbo" and "turbo" stickers all over it too. Just incredible..ETA::
