Over rated. Over priced. Underwhelming to drive. Seen off by many diesels now.
Someone ban him.
I agree with him, see also: Clio V6.
The overrated and overpriced list of cars would be very long. laugh
Like 412 pages? rofl

It should be much longer than this. There is a lot of overrated and overpriced stuff that doesn't feature as the prices are now seen as normal.

Agree. The Clio V6 comment was a little bit tongue in cheek from me

My bumper doesn’t quite fit properly after hitting a pheasant. Reckon I can say it’s inspired by Picasso and sell if for £2m?
Only if you include the pheasant.

The car looks fine but £50k for a 2006 V8 Vantage with 40k on the clock?! I know it's a rarer manual but still!

Think I'll take the one 3 cars further down that is only £40k and has 15k on the clock thanks.
He's knocked 17k off the price since you posted last week!
Only another £5k to go and he'll have it priced at what a 15 year old Vantage is actually worth these days!

Really? What diesels do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds and handle equally as well?

£18,250 for a low mileage but far from mint Polo G40. Nipple of a seller can fu cough.

Blimey, I know that car. It was sold for around £3k , then a few months later put into Anglia auctions where it got £10k in late 2016 which at the time caused quite a stir in the G40 community as the general prices ranged from £2-5k.

Presumably the person who bought it then is selling it now.

Imagine describing any 2.7T as "bulletproof". They're great engines, but their lack of reliability borders on the epic.

Not overpriced for a B5. Seen similar mileage ones sell for about the same.

Sorry but the Makkinen is over rated. By people who've never driven one mainly. Sometimes unpopular is fine. I'd rather give an honest appraisal than a popular one. Drove one recently. It was flawed.
A guy was asking 30 grand for one last year for a car no quicker and more laggy than a 435d.
Sorry but for me it's over rated. Over priced. Just like a CSL E46 is at 70 grand.

I just look at what 32 grand got me when I rate car value.
760 BHP. 4wd. Gorgeous interior. Great spec. Stonking twin turbo 5 litre V-TEN.
Ferrari V12 esque 0 to 200 mph. Daily driver. Holiday car. Good tank range.
For the price of an electric Ford hatchback!!!

I don't think your points really make any sense. You're comparing completely different cars that have close to 2 decades between them, nobody who wants a Tommi Mak would even have a diesel BMW on their radar and the RS6 is like comparing apples and hand grenades. People buy them for nostalgia, car shows and their increasing values, not to compete with a diesel rep car or a 740bhp monster. It's like calling a 205 GTI flawed because a Golf GTD or an E63 will beat it in a straight line.

The car is so ''bullet proof'' that he's just had to spend £10k on it.

RS tax, innit. Personally I think anyone who spends eight and a half grand on a slightly warmed over version of a mid-1990s Escort should be immediately sectioned.
