BC's are mid-range, at best, I'd say.
Sure, not the worst, mind.
Absolutely that's what they are and always have been. They're at a point in the market that everyone can afford them and they're a great way into running good coilovers on a car.Sure, not the worst, mind.
Certainly not top end, but deffo not budget... And there is some budget s

£25k for a T4 camper, sure its low miles but its not a T2!
I imagine the cupboards are full of marching power the seller has sampled when setting price.
Mint T4 campers go for between 10-15K, they're definitely pushing that one on the mileage. £25k for a T4 camper, sure its low miles but its not a T2!

there absolutely are people out there willing to pay over the odds for a specific car based on any number of reasons but in most cases that's just to park up look at and sell on to the next guy doing the same.
I'd previously sold my DC2 Integra for £3,800 a couple of years before and felt like I'd done really well...
I can recall seeing EK9s up for £7k and thinking that was very strong money compared to the equivalent Integra, which I always felt was more desirable. £25k is crazy money. I was at least expecting it to be sub 20k mileage or similar for that kind of price!

Ha ha. Pretty sure my dog's turd this morning was unique, but I didn't feel compelled to hunt out another...or even keep that one! 
Not directed at you guys, but I am stunned the countless times in this thread, people seem to think that 'old' = 'valuable'. Page after page of cars which were s
t when new and are no less st now...but because enough time has passed people are even getting moist-eyed over things like Morris Marinas and Austin Allegros. Is this what the EV revolution has driven us to???? Won't someone think of the children??!!!!PhantomPH said:

Quite enjoyed Orion Ghia 1.6is back when new and this looks like a decent example of much the same
Each to their own though eh!

Don't think it's nearly quadrupled in value since.

Like I said I could see it fetching 10k when low mileage Ghias go for 6
Not every Merc 190 EVO 2 goes for £300k - the best examples fetch the most

I'm also quite an Orion fan. Don't think I could bring myself to put £10k+ on one though
If I had storage and was well off I could certainly put that one in my garage for 10k .....along with quite a few other 80s/90s low milers More interest to me than one hypercar or Tesla

As a total aside, I did my 'lottery garage' again (for the millionth time!) a few weeks ago when the Euro was >£130m and I managed to get to about 19 cars before I realised I had not one single 'new' car...and the newest (by a long way) vehicle I had was a road-legal P1GTR, so hardly showroom fresh! Ha ha. Really, that was probably more a sign of my age. Modern super/hyper cars just no longer make me wish I owned them. I had a Renault 5 Turbo 2 TDC on the list which I'm sure you guys would have approved of!
Edit - tell a lie...I had a Singer 911 on the list, but can that really be classed as a new car?

This California with a BO55 Plate at what looks like a backstreet dealer, which I think has been for sale for ages. Lots of pictures though, I like that.
It’s the third most expensive California on Autotrader, same price as this 3 year newer, (slightly) lower mileage later T model from a main dealer, admittedly it’s not as desirable a colour combination, but still.
