Seriously Overpriced Cars

Okay it's pretty low mileage, but with this example I'm not sure that's a good thing, look at the state of the wheels (and at least two 5 year old budget tyres)
Interesting how AutoTrader thinks it's a fair price, compared with a "higher price" Astra GTC:

[HM-2]

Five grand for a knackered 11 year old poverty spec Astra diesel with random purple bits. Prices really have gone nuts.

[Ructions]

FORTY grand for a 2007 Cayman with a dubious body kit. That’s forty thousand of your finest English pounds.

Second hand Maybach or this......

Anyone want an old pre facelift E46 with a 4cyl petrol and the auto box?

Probably not.

Anyway, the mileage is lowish I guess, but I think £9k is a bit steep.

AT's price guide is a very random thing.

I'm guessing all the traders would get upset if every one of their cars was flagged as overpriced ?

I get happier every time I see one of these at some ridiculous price since I'll be looking to sell one of mine soon, but this is especially nuts. Seeing 330Cis drift into M3 territory is one thing but the weakest engine in the heaviest E46, with the auto, you might as well be pedaling it. I'll have some of what they're smoking please. I think this one has been on eBay for a while, I've definitely seen it before.

And if I was trying to sell a maybe-four-thousand-on-a-good-day car for nine, I might put a little bit of effort into the description.

Think there is a clio 182 trophy on the market for over 16k
Not even particularly low millage or ownership must be at least 6k over the top?

It's the EVO magazine tax innit.

It adjusts massively for mileage, which means cars outside the normal range end up with a guide price either massively above or below the actual market value.

The Trophy advert

I think we can close this thread. £2,200,000 for a 15 year old Merc…

We've already had that. If you don't post it within days of the advert being hosted someone will beat you to post it here.

Not sure what these go for but £4200 for a 1977 LHD rust bucket Granada seems toppy

[Aids0G]

Defenders have gone mad recently but really a old Discovery 2 with worn out front seats, lowish miles but still a long way from a special example. £7500 for a td5 disco is wonky: + he’s only had it a few weeks:

Ah, sorry. I thought it was a new ad.
