How much is a decent condition 944 Turbo cabrio in the UK out of interest?
The price seems strong money on the Portuguese car but I didn't fall off my chair. Prices in Spain and Portugal are often daft when compared to the UK. Very few throughput in the second hand market for a number of reasons keeps prices sky high. This applies to all genres, from classics through to daily s
tters.
My shed of an A4 cabrio was €7k with 150k km on the clock last year. £2k car max in the UK? And I didn't overpay on it as I ran a WBAC equivalent check on it to be offered almost what I paid at the time. I looked at picking up an 2001/2002 Mini Cooper for the Mrs and they are €5k minimum here - £1.5k in the UK.
I'm not saying the 944 isn't pricey, but I don't think you can compare Southern Europe prices with anything in the UK or else I could find a plethora of "seriously overpriced cars" - in fact every single one of them.

Price aside, it is in amazing condition for its age. Still think Id rather spend another couple of grand and keep a GT86 for the next twenty years though. No way i'd pay 9k for one now!

It's too nice to use really.

Offered in Switzerland, so probably not fair to judge it against the going rate here, but £13400 is a fat chunk of change for such a nondescript car, even with its unicorn spec - you could get an extremely nice 'Sud for that sort of money. The fact that it's been on sale for about a year reinforces that point I suggest.

I can't say I'm a market expert on hateful little cars that make you look one headscarf away from a nan, but this seems expensive:

found this...previously sold in october
https://www.facebook.com/groups/MetroPower.FSW/per...
Il be putting my metro up for sale soon.
1.8 turbo
275bhp
T2871r (?genuine) ect ect
Pg1 gearbox ect
Lots of work has gone into this car
If you are ??generally interested before I do a full right up please just for more information
I be asking about £4500
They were supposedly a hoot to drive, especially the 1.8 VVC converted ones so that one with a turbo conversion should be hilariously quick.
edit: not the same car......but offically gassed did a video on a 275bhp metro turbo

Not my taste in the slightest, but certainly not overpriced...and definitely not 'seriously overpriced' as per the theme of this thread. Spend 20 seconds on the PH classifieds and you will come to the same conclusion. I’ve just looked to see what other Continental GTs I could get in that price range.
I’ve found a 2005, standard from the factory, 40k mile, full Bentley history car with near faultless MOT history. Black with tan. Looks very well cared for. £24,250 before a haggle.
Or, the above which has over twice the miles, MOT history that makes me nervous and a questionable body kit.
