Not so much overpriced (arguably) but I'm astonished at this £80k G60 Limited:

Granted, try to find another (71 were built) - I'd love it, but £80k is strong money!

Prices will crash soon, right? biggrin
Old rare Golf's is something I definitely don't understand, but I would assume that at that sort of money that it would have an original interior and much less than 70k miles on it.
That is strong VW tax and as you said not original, interior and engine mods but it is a rare car and they were hand built and very expensive new.
Rare maybe as is the Polo G40, both pretty awful to drive though..

Pass the glue. £8k for a shed. Even if it has only done 1800 miles.

If you were a prominent member of the Rover Owners Club and you wanted to have the red shed safely tucked up in your own shed for the bragging rights you could be persuaded to part with £8k. I rather suspect the real owner of this car gave it to the dealer for peanuts. Or thoughtfully died allowing him to acquire it and ask for mental money before letting someone else own it.

Personally I don't even think that Rover is funny or ironic or anything. And if out smoking about it in nobody would know about the incredibly low mileage so you'd gain no satisfaction from being spotted in an ancient Rover. Therefore... no, neigh, never... not for me.

Oh wow. A one of a kind (maybe) car that’s described as an “absolute weapon”. I think there’s an absolute weapon selling it..

And of course, when trying to flog a car at a batsh*t crazy price because it's so rare and immaculate, what you should absolutely do is include a photo of your dog sitting on the f'king seats!

These low miles “white goods” cars make me laugh. This Micro is one of the very worst. I love the way the very basic nature of it is listed as one of the benefits - “Acres of vinyl” and listing stuff it doesn’t have but making it sound like a good thing - “Pre-central locking” and “pre-power steering”.

I doubt the dealer mentioned in the ad’ gave more than £2k for it. Probably, much less.

As for the claim that you will double your money, well why don’t you keep it then?

Rather like the 'easy cheap fix' claims. Well if it just needs a £10 little part from Eurocarparts, then why don't you buy the damn thing and get top value for it laugh

I’d like to think that’s a parody ad but I’m really not sure it is…

My partner bought a K10 Micra last year from a dealer which is way, way nicer than this one and paid much, much, much, much (repeat until you get the idea) less.

laugh I wonder if the price includes the boutique shop in the background because if not the car surely has traces of crystal meth within it.

I like that Micra.
Would happily pay 700 pounds for it.

Please tell me that he was meant to write £2,300? (which even then is a pi$$ take) - Either that, or the whole thing is a joke.
