WTF is wrong with people.

Are dealers seeing 911R's go for silly money and think it applies to anything in the world?

Lunatics.

that dealer seems obsessed with selling low mileage cars. like £4000 for this ordinary 1998 206 that's on 8900miles.

You appear to be right there ambuletz. Looking at his other items for sale provides all sorts of overpriced vehicles:

Anyone fancy a 7 year old BMW 320i? This could be yours for just £87,500.

It took me a while to decide what the most mental and undesirable car they have was - the Lacetti, one of the Xsara Picassos? Nope, it has to be the 12 year old Kia Magentis - a dull and undesirable car when new but somehow the seller thinks there's someone out there who will pay over £3,700 for one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kia-Magentis-SE-16V-/192...

That Magentis is worth no more than a bag of sand.

Though I can think of MUCH better ways of spending £1k. laugh

Charge like a wounded Rhino biggrin

I like the look of the XJR however my knowledge of Jag's is pretty poor therefore I struggle to understand how a 2007 model with 35k miles commands £25k whilst a 2006 model with 49k miles commands £10k.

It's a significant difference in price. I must be missing something.

Looks like a dealer targeting a market of people of an older generation who can be persuaded that they're getting "effectively a brand new car!" for only a few grand.

Love to know what time capsule he's pulling them from ...... if he had a time machine wormhole, surely there are more lucrative items to bring forward from the past than boring four door Korean saloon cars.
