The more I read about them, the more I like them. That guy Paul Stephens builds some amazing looking cars, get very good write ups too. He probably wasn't allowed a test drive in one, no chance they're poorly built. He's just talking bks

A nice thing, but optimistic pricing?

That's neither a Touring nor an E39 but yes, the 540i way overpriced... not even low mileage!
Pretty sure it's been discussed before too...

It's cars like that E39 which create a false inflation in prices. Nothing has changed in particular, yet other 540i owners will see that, and think their 540i with 100,000 miles and slightly more tatty bodywork is now a £12000 car. Next person spots it and so on.

It was hardly comparing apples with apples I know, but even so, that E39 is way too expensive...

I think most cars are overpriced

Golf gti/r
Audi A3/s3/rs3

I remember in 2004 my dad having a top of the Range A4 cabriolet andvit been less than 28k

The equivalent a3 convertible is now 41k

Someone I know paid 26k for a Vauxhall corsa lol

£28k in 2004 is now £42k when adjusted for inflation. So it's gone down in price over the years, bargain!

I couldn't believe that someone paid 26k for a Corsa, so I just tried to configure one and got to 22k without much trying. Asbolutely bonkers.

But nobody actually pays full list on a Vauxhall though, do they.

Not this st again.

[Fun Bus]

More to the point, in 2004, a top of the range A4 cabriolet would not have cost less than £28k.

He starts off numerous threads trying to rubbish the dealer in question under different aliases on PH, he's actually the guy who came out with "DISMISSED!" on the Troy Queef thread then had to change his name

Hold on... Did Vauxhall make a Vectra VVTi? I was under the impression that VVTi was a Toyota model designation.

EDIT: I've done a bit of Googling, and it turns out there is a difference between the "regular" Vectra 1.8 16v lump, and the 1.8 VVTi unit. In other news, I now want to kill myself.
