Seriously Overpriced Cars

Imagine the bills a 113k mile M6 could throw up. I haven’t the balls to run one at that age and mileage.

2013 seems quite new to me, certainly seems much less risk than the V10.

It’s the previous V10 I was confusing my comment on.

M6 convertible (V8)

£31,000... Seems very strong money for something with that sort of mileage.

If you look at other similar age M6's its not that far from the market. Higher mileage, but more extras.

And if the price when new was really £125k as he claims, it's still a hell of a lot of depreciation in 6 years!

It's 'priced low' according to similar cars according to autotrader.

Noticed it's the non-Turbo SDI..

looks up 0-60mph time...

18.6 seconds. Skins on rice puddings.

Sounds like an utter nail.

Totally. Re listing now says Porsche engined.
Only fit for tip runs until the test expires then scrapped.
Far too many w5nkers like this attempting to lift money off someone with misdescribed absolute pieces of st..

No chance, it is twice the milage of any other M6 of similar age/spec, not worth anywhere near that price.

Who actually buys this new? Were these really really cheap?

Rare ... possibly but that doesn't make it desirable though.

As above, having 3 service stamps since new isn't a good selling point.

Someone hasn't read the 12 months OR 10k miles part of the manual!

That M6 is already down to 29, imagine the DCT going on one of those

It would be fair to say that it was not what I was expecting after I opened the ad for a 20k Sierra

[Fun Bus]

That Sierra would have been rare new. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the only one in existence now.

I actually think it’s not overpriced.

Me either. I was expecting one of the nice looking typical ones from the era. Not this.

Definitely chancing-I paid half of that for mine which is just as good, if not better. The paint on that example looks unexceptional and the coolant expansion tank looks over full and has very little antifreeze...not good!
