Many previous owners, well handled, loose exhaust pipe, needs a big end, slack handling.

That's not far off about right. E46 M3 prices dipped last year after a steady increase. The last few months have seen some big jumps in terms of price point, which I guess is a reflection of how the market is viewing the best cars. Being an E46 M3 owner I tend to keep an eye on the classifieds. From what I can see. the better/best cars are selling. Glad I got in when I did, (which back in 2016 I still considered to be a little above what the car was worth), because at £15.000 + I'd probably be priced out.

Overpriced seeing as it's not a real Max Power car. For that money though it'd be a fun car for me to take to the local car meets on a friday night where everyone else my age is in an Ibiza FR or Fiesta ST. Bo Selecta and a candy pink throwback biggrin

£5k for a badly maintained 16 year old Focus on crap tyres, no centre caps, no MOT and a dirty interior?

My old man has an E320 convertible so have kept my eye on them for years. Prices seem to have been between £10k - £15k for about 10 years so not sure that is out of sync?

Priced in the stratosphere, so no ordinary price exists. $7,200,000 I suppose this is in the 'it's worth what someone will pay for it' category. I don't look in Koenigsegg very often, but from memory, it's been here for some considerable time. Draw your own conclusions.

100% would buy straight away if I won the £100m EuroMillions jackpot.

0-250-0 mph in 30 seconds. There's nothing like it.

Add auction fees in and any expenses, that doesn’t leave much margin even in its ‘serious overpricing’.
