Seriously Overpriced Cars

[Krikkit]

It sounds like a lot, but a 17k mile, unmodified example of what is a shoe-in for possibly the best FWD N/A hatch ever built doesn't seem too mad.

The only other one i can find for sale:

I remember having the same discussion about 10 years ago about a mint Delta Evo 2 with low miles. Now must be worth 6x the high fee that was being asked.

Don't get me wrong £18k is speculative though

Saw that last night but couldn't find this thread, give it 10 years and we may be made to look a bit silly. Or someone will have a very expensive, albeit very nice clio

It's a Clio. Will have rotted away in 10 years

It's a Renault

It's not Harry Metcalfe's one is it? That was a similar ultra low miler?

I did wonder this too. but in a 2009 article harry's car had 50miles less then what this car has right now (and in '09 this car had 6k less miles), also a tweet from harry has him taking his car for a service in 08/2015, but there is no record of that on this listing.

Have they put the comma in the wrong place?

and the first photo was stolen from another dealer, can't remember if it's KGF classics or hexagon.

Ahh rix motors...not far from me.

They mainly sell auction prestige stuff but lately seem to be trying it on with the 'classics

My dad bought a 130i from them years ago and their aftersales was awful.

The salesmen were typical too...suits, slick hair, pointy shoes and plenty if pushy bullst.

I have these as a saved searched and did laugh at the asking price. Certain future classic but it won't be £18k for a few years yet.

The last couple to sell were £2100 and £3700, the latter coming with a set of newly refurbished shocks.

Interesting to think though that if this was an 205 no-one would be too shocked at an asking price like that ( given a few have sold over this price at auction )

I remember buying one new back in 2005 ish and sold it after 3k miles. If I had a crystal ball!

Madness, £50,000 for an XJS even if it has only done 10,000 miles.

But only on the smoker barges thread a 205 GTI sold for £1500. IIRC it was 1.9 too, and mint!

Not sure whether this has already been posted, but certainly dropped my jaw!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiesta-Supersport-S...

Particularly as I had one of these in 1985

Mine was exactly the same.

Proof if it's needed, they just aren't selling. "Sold" but back up for sale with another chancer-

Wow, that's crazy, what is it really worth? £8,000 at the most? Are they really that desirable?most Mk 4's seem to parked up on the verge on a local council estate these days.
