I'd suggest that is crazy, but then I think so many of the current "classic" car prices are absolutely nuts. I wish it would all stop.

[Blanchimont]

Way OTT.

If that was a manual, without the tacky as st radio, and had about 20,000 miles on it then it would be worth it, but it's not. That'll either never sell, sell to some moron or end up for about £2k, which is what it's worth.

I bought mine on the basis it would appreciate from here on but it's not quite 13k yet lol, that most be a type

I don't think it's a typo. Looking at the other stock they have, they look serious. 5k for a Fiesta ST. 5k!
17k for a E46 M3!

[Glasgowrob]

completely barmy.


but it gets their name out there and drives traffic to their webpage.

The rest of their stock list is just as bad.

15.5k for a 2006 JCW mini? Bonkers

[g3org3y]

13k

With an auto box.

Was that a low-miles GP1 though, or am I looking at a different car? If so, it's trying to push the market on a bit, but nowhere near like that E36

I think seriously good ones have been attracting decent money for a little while, a nice low miles original manual individual for example, albeit not quite 13k! The main problem is there isn't that many genuinely good ones out there.

[Collectingbrass]

Well it's one way of keeping them out of the hands of drifters I suppose.

I thought only early 328i Sports had LSD? Mine ('98, R reg) didn't have it.

Either way, about £8K too expensive.

[JamesRF]

Saw price - laughed.

Saw radio and auto - laughed harder.

[Katzenjammer]

That dealer, Hollybrook, are borderline legendary in local NI motoring circles for "hopeful" pricing and cringe-worthy Swiss Toni-esque vehicle descriptions.

Just google "lightly lift the driver's latch hollybrook" and have a laugh.

That is definitely going in the next car ad I write.

You could also use ((c) notwithstanding)

"Whenever you arrive to view this vehicle, you will quickly find that even if you are standing just a couple of feet away, it looks like it has gently rolled out of the [insert manufacturer] showroom. The (colour] paintwork is in spectacular condition, and has all the hall marks of a cherished example.

Lightly lift the driver’s latch, and peer inside to find an excellent cabin. The leather interior is soft, supple and clean, and looks outstanding within. The carpets still manage to retain their fresh factory finish, with the remaining interior trim spotless, and free from the usual scuffs and marks you would expect to see in lesser abused examples. An outstanding cabin with a real testament to it’s previous ownership."

Erm, about £10k too expensive for an average auto.

[SidewaysSi]

Based on this, mine has to be worth £15k at the very least.

[lewis328]

I would say that it needs to stay at the current mileage, in a garage and re appear in a few years to command even 10k, I still like them though.

[Mcbeth]

I've got a tidy 328i Auto for sale with 70k at £3k....and have been laughed at. 10k is 'ambitious' to say the least!
Will keep mine if it doesn't sell
