What, no flowers?

This is the first time that I have seen a car advertised with a briefcase and an umbrella being the main selling points.

I dont know that they are the main selling points, but those items are an integral part of the special edition, so if they were no longer present and/or in shoddy condition the car would definately loose part of the appeal of the special ed. Seems right to show they are all present and correct to me to support such a price.

As for if the special ed, and indeed any of the items appeal, that's an entirely different question. And I certainly dont see that price in that car either really, but then all sanity on supercar pricing seems to have gone out of the window in the last couple of months.

Essentials ! JLR are now presenting their cars in a similar 'pose'.... with a warning triangle and a tow rope.

So the message is that they break down, but don't worry because you get these accessories included?

4 main dealer services in 2000 miles? Someone has been properly taken for a mug.

Exactly! Dreadful build quality and reliability. If you thought they were bad now, wait and see what happens if the Peugeot takeover happens!!!

Huh, its 6 years old... if anything it is under serviced not over serviced. The interval on these cars is max every 12mths. Might not matter much if the car is old and a sh-tter, but when they are asking £150k for it, a FULL main dealer service history is essential. Its the owner who skipped 2 services (potentially the current one) who is a mug, if hes looking for top dollar for it.

You did include, 'might not matter if car is old', Adam, which does rather spoil my comment.

"Sorry mate, the last time I looked in my service book, I think there might have been a couple of main dealer service stamps missing. Admittedly there are a few scratches, but they should polish out.
Anyway, can we agree on £270,000 ?"




Funny old world -

Nice Patina , the rest will buff out.

Its a lovely looking 9 though. Hard to see how a few add on bits can justify double the price though

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Seriously?!

Lovely looking car, but at that price tag that's just a dealer having a punt!

Quite a few cars at Redline are on sale or return, and given the price tag on this one i would say it almost certainly is. I cant see them giving him anything like that price to buy especially as it is missing a full service history.
