2007 B7 Audi S4 auto with over 140k miles - a what, £5k car? £15k. The description is also mildly amusing...

"does need to pop pure raw v8 power " ... "this a big boy car"

Absolutely hilarious and tragic. Tell me you have an inferiority complex and watch Andrew Tate videos without telling me.

Worked with a guy at GMP, nice bloke, but he advertised an Audi 100 V6 auto estate in black with a similar ad "One for the boys, proper mans car" and other sexist drivel, I am partial to an Audi 100 and it was, to be fair very, very tidy, the A6 shape before they called it an A6 (Wiki says Type C4) so had a test drive and it was a right boring, slow, thirsty old lump. Plus it was a black estate so looked a bit too much like a hearse.

Not sure what the description was referring to, could sort of understand it on something a bit lairy, but it was a big squashy old boat.


CLS I have mentioned before is still available, 900 days since the ad went live, same seller has an Audi A5 for sale thats having about as much interest.

Am sure some think that someone is obliged to buy if they advertise, if you want to sell, it has to be comepetitve, especailly at the moment.

19 year old Jaguar with "64k miles", Japanese import. Presumably there is a typo in the price?

I love this, they are asking more than OPC prices but its "invitation only"

But if it was invitation only why bother with the advert

An expensive Montego VDP

saying 'invitation only' makes the saps buying it feel special (and means because they're 'special' they can be rinsed for a few more £££)

Been for sale for a while now, on eBay prior to AT. It's local to me and like many I check the classifieds fairly often, it was actually up for another £750 initially.

Massively overpriced, should be nearer £11k I think, probably less given the MOT history. Shame for me as I would quite like one, but not at that price, and especially not one that has rusted away in Scotland for X years.

Also; the ad…

“ Always when you are looking to buy an UNICORN like this, the maintance cost should pay the price of the car. “

What?

I might ring him up and say I’m looking for something a bit unique to take banger racing.

"No one can touch at lights" though. Or, more likely, no one is trying.

Both terrible adverts too, just all autofilled. No actual info or description, lazy.

£11k for a 'top spec' 12 year old Transit, with boggo spec seats, boggo spec front end, boggo spec wheels......

I’d pay half that for a mint Smiley (my favourite Transit)

The sliding door is a different colour, the rear bumper quarters should be bare black plastic, not white, they have rattle can’d the wheels (and wheel nuts and hub nut) and one of the tyres has got a cut in the sidewall.

The price of vans are sliding down quickly, I have got my eye on a 2020 custom sport automatic for £19k, this was a 30k van less than a year ago.

You're spot on stating it's an £11k car. I bought ours, a year older, with double the miles (and some niggles to sort) in May, for £8k. Also, and I could possibly be wrong here. It's a facelift (LCI) example, which AFAIK feature the N55 engine, which contrary to what he states is a single turbo engine, apossed to the twin turbo N54 in our pre-LCI.
