Horrors in the PH classifieds Vol 2

Blimey, quite the difference. I’ll save £100k and not have a dodgy body kit!

[RJH777]

I mean you can have a brand new 2020 Conti GT for 160k + options...

I'm pretty sure even fully tricked out you couldn't run up 60k of options.

£500 if he’s lucky. Pristine apart from the generally tatty look and the dented back bumper. Also says it’s white apparently. He’ll be keeping that for a long time with fixed price and no offers

Does it have different wheels each side?

Looks like it.

Pristine condition apart from looking a complete fkin wreck.
Not sure what this old Ford thing is about. At the bottom of my yard where we stock a few no hopers we have a mk4 Fiesta 1.6S. It's been there circa three years. No sills, rear arches non existant, holes in the floor ect ie a real old nail, yet I've lost count of the times I've been asked to sell it. It's boxed in with non runners around it and really can't be bothered to dig it out. I'm seeing how long it takes to completely dissolve after it's regular salt water bath...

I get the "fast Ford" thing, but this isn't a desirable model. I am struggling to see why it's worth more than scrap money. In fact I'm struggling to see when it would have ever been worth £4k. It can't have been much more new, back in the day.

This person is obviously stuck in his 1990s Max Power craze. Surely nobody is going to buy that unless they need a few donor body parts for their RS Turbo?

Damm that Bentley is nasty.

Ah, but could you have derivative treadplates? That/ they have to be worth at least 40k.

Interesting paint job on this 240i - Even better that there is no commentary about it in the description:

It seems the seller is looking to offload as he's moving abroad.

To be fair to him, if I'd done that to a car, I'd be needing to leave the country, too.

The video in the advert shows what a state the interior is in too.
I’d love to ask them why they did that.

I laughed my socks off. I mean what kind of clunge biscuit does that to the exterior of a 240i, then proceeds to have random wires everywhere in the drivers footwell. Unbelievable.

Sorry but could someone take that and drive it through the Halfords tat department. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it would be an improvement.

WTF drugs were they taking when they thought that that would look good.

Mentioned it last time it was posted, but I still can't work out what look he was even going for?

I'd say the car is already abroad looking at the pictures.

I suspect it's a wrap with a bit of rattle can applied. Or at least that's what it looks like.

But I agree, truly awful outside but the interior is an even bigger mess.

I'm assuming the vendor must have a flow of easy money because nobody in their right mind would advertise a car in this state. He's knocked thousands off its value.
