I've already seen one crazy overpriced naff old Escort in this thread a few pages ago, it can have a a friend now. A '91 1.3 Popular with 27,000 miles for £5,500!

Five and half thousand of your hard earned for something that's not beautiful, fast, interesting, well-specced, tuneful, historically important, or remotely rewarding to drive. Talk about value.

I, for some reason God only knows, like that Escort.
Would maybe pay £550 for it, not 10x that though.

Was watching this yesterday, as it happens:

That's got to be a mistake.

Why is this X3 £12,000?

Additional “0” by mistake?! Seller is barking in Barking.

That's worth £5,000. I wonder if they will get any enquiries? Bizarre.

There is some incredibly daft pricing out there. I look at cars like that Escort and think it's a £999 car at best. Low mileage just means a crap car with low mileage.
A friend of ours bought an M-reg Escort in a quite smart metallic racing green as a runabout a couple of years ago for £500. Elderly neighbour had had it since new. He still has it and it's in really good nick as well. I ought to let him know he's sitting on a tidy profit.

Spec is dismal too. Pretty much base spec apart from the sat nav.

How about this monstrous Cayenne for £19,999. 125k and 10 owners, for added provenance.



From the ad:

"PS: please do not coment or disturb me if u drive a Corsa GT 1.0 or Micra AMG 1.2!!!"

Micra AMG! wobble

Why has it been photoshopped on a car showroom background?!
