This one's a bit odd. Obviously owned by a wally, used as a work van? I can't work it out. Overpriced for sure though!

Flagged up when I was looking at F11s!

Outer sill damaged and corroded advisory on the last mot. Massively overpriced even without that.

$20million for a Volvo V70, it has a special plate but the article reckons it won’t be transferable.

"Roof rack can come with the car for an extra £50, just had 2 new tyres and a balljoint for MOT, no timewasters or dreamers"

This one has been for sale for a while. I also think it's a Walt wagon.

The 'sport' indicators are a real treat though.

Presumably an ex-service car (prior to current owner)? I don't think it was possible to order these without leather, but the traffic cop ones came with the (hideous) fabric interior.

Easily overpriced threefold.

I thought the same about its origins - maybe not a Police patrol car but some kind of service car I'd say. Did 50k miles before its first MOT mind, so it could well have been a patrol car in a small authority.

Cloth was still standard on this model 5 series. However, 95% of buyers ordered Leather.

I don't think it was an ex-plod model, too. no calibrated speedo, and police cars had an even worse spec than this one.

It's a 3.0 petrol with a pan roof - doesn't sound like Plod spec as you say.

N52 owners trying out their luck lol

Do the carbon fibre BMW badges balance out the weight of the subwoofer?

Yes but the wky "M" grill blades cancel that out.

£1k for a Rover with a knackered gearbox?

Is that a creased rear quarter too?

Not ex Police core fleet .. it’s not to authorities spec nor fitted with a calibrated speedo, nor diesel

Desperately trying to cash out before it fails it's MOT ... I think the vendor will be lucky to get the cost of the battery and alternator back even in these strange times for car pricing.

How can a calibrated speedo be identified?

[Liokault]

How about £10k for a very low mile Rover 216?

I used to like these as company cars, but 10k! The interior looks more worn than the stated miles suggests as well.
