Seriously Overpriced Cars

335i Touring (2009) for £17,990 seems keen despite the low miles.

Autotrader actually states it's a great price and £436 below market average.... hardly worth posting is it...

Checking again there are only two e91 335i for sale so I suppose the rarity dictates the price.
I px'd my e92 335i e92 last year for £3k so that was my benchmark for comparison.

That is a lovely thing. With black leather I’d like it even more.

Weren’t they particularly rare in facelift format?

The last garage that had that car had it up for £15,995 and couldn't sell it. I'm not sure why it's worth more a couple of weeks later.

I know the E91 335i is a rare model, but that's way too much money. Autotrader's estimations aren't always accurate especially with rare models. There's a few cars it values far too high and few too low.

I reckon you could get an F31 335i for considerably less than that.

-Edit

Here we go, a grand less 7 years newer, better spec

No idea why you'd buy a 335i to drive 1580 miles a year.

Yes, but 50k miles more too. Autotrader has 3, 335i touring - we’ve discussed two of them. I think it’s a case of “find another.”

There is an E91 with 130k on eBay for £5995 and another 80k import no longer fit sale for £7995.

There is less problems with the N55 over the N54 and the auto in those older E91s isn't good.

Fair challenge.

I'd quite like one of these to replace my 130i that does 800 miles a year.

It is laughably over priced.
I expected it to be a manual and they were using that to put £2/3k on (what would already have been expensive) price.
It's probably on the original 11 year old tyres.

Dream world stuff.

The market of people willing to pay double the price of an otherwise identical car for 12 years of underuse is very small. I have no doubt a very small handful of people would be interested at that price but it was previously up for less and didn't shift.

Saw it posted on Facebook with a link to PH. Thought it was a bit strong but I don't know where these are now.

I've seen this build. It's actually not painted to a matching colour under the wrap. No mechanical work. https://www.instagram.com/that.audiquattro/?hl=en

Depends on how you price a deep clean and some custom vinyl

Looks to me it's only suitable as a static show car?

And I can't see there being many car shows in the forseeable future...

Interesting, clearly had a lot of time spent on it, but some odd choices at the same time.

How has he spent £15k on that!? I can imagine the market for wanting to own that car in that weird incoherent spec is zero.

Mk3 16-valvers are an amusing car to drive (I've had two) and good ones do make reasonable money but I'm not entirely convinced that even with 36K and no rust, you'd be looking at 9K.

Mind you here's someone trying to sell a 100K+ 8-valver for 8,900 Euros

I saw a Mini Cooper S driving in a similar "livery" near Bicester the other day. It was one of those moments when you see something and just burst out laughing. At first I thought it was just dirty.

Limited edition, nice spec etc, but feels at least £15k over-priced to me...

What about a posh taxi for £99.000

The real question is how on earth can that cost £150k new? And why would someone even think about spending that much on a Black cab? You can buy an S-Class for way less than that, there's a 15 mile S350d for under £50k.
