Seriously Overpriced Cars

I like Accords, but this seems a bit rich to me:

If it was £2k on Shed of the Week, I imagine it'll be snapped up in seconds.

£3.5k does seem a bit steep. But what is reasonable? 2500-3000?

So maybe 20-40% overpriced?

Probably not a bad buy though.

Is it? Just seems a tad pricy to me.

Don't think £8k is that far out.
Looks a nice car for a fastish Ford.

Unfortunately the reality of £8000 not going very far these days is very obvious when it comes to car shopping now.

With so few estates made, I think that is about the right money

If its not rusty it's worth it.

2500 sounds OK, i don’t really see the point in it though, would rather jsut spend less and get one with 100k on it as even that’s low mileage for the year

Scrapped a few saloon ST's at work recently. Looked decent cars but clearly couldn't have been worth much.

I've no idea on older BMWs of this era - you see so many nails being driven around - but this sounds a lot, especially as it's hardly immaculate ...

"I don't want to break it for parts, so I've put it up for (checks advert again just to be sure) TEN THOUSAND POUNDS"

Or maybe I'm just bitter because I sold my E30 318i 2-door that was in much better condition than this for £400 less than 10 years ago.

I thought you could still get a reasonably decent 325i sport for not much more than this absolute nail is being advertised for. Knowing only too well how easily they rust if not pampered like a garage queen, I can't imagine what this one is like underneath. And it's not even an original 325i!

Decent 325i Sports are no where near £10k nowadays.

The sellers username checks out anyway

I thought that was a toaster airbrushed on the side of the Peugeot.

[CRA1G]

I'm surprised the Peugeot hasn't been re-born into a Ferrari 360 with a plastic rear engine...

Front door of the house deserves a mention in the council thread also

Would love to meet the barn owner who vandalised this 316i and left it to rot

Not at all the demographic I expected

7k? A nice example, but I can't imagine people are queuing up to buy this. And this is despite the fact I quite like it!

If it was 306 gti6 it would be very cheap at that price and yet basically the same car (which some would consider technically better) in a frumpy dress is never worth anywhere close to the value of its sister.

Don't think that's actually a council house?
