Right, last one from me for now. This is possibly the most random on here so far. It is a BMW 520d SE Auto Individual. But not any old individual, oh, no. It has individual paint, wood, wheels and door entry strips. BUT the standard beige "linea" cloth, NO navigation system and just the standard air-con. Oh yeah baby. Total cost: £44,805.

You mad?! They`re a lovely car.

I nearly posted one of these with a value of about £90k and still needed COMAND adding as an extra!

Seventy quid on floormats?!?!?!?!
I'd get some regular mats for a tenner and a hooker.

Also does anyone know how to do screen grabs on a Mac?

Applications > Utilities > Grab

It's a little program that lets you save a selection, a window or the whole screen. You should have it, depending on which version of the OS you're using.

wow a £25k honda jazz.

but surely the x3 for £50k has to win so far. the audi a6 or a8 at £40k was also a peach.

great thread, but i will leave you lot to do the hard work whilst i just look on in disbelief.

Is the OP around? I think he needs to create a poll so we can all vote to find the PH star unreasonably priced car...

[Steameh]

I got a base level navara speced to 42k and that is without leather seats or sat nav.

My attempt:

See my attmept few pages back, 7 child seats and some doubling up of options doesn't really count.

How`s this for a new Panamera: £125,396.

How did you configure the Panamera? It's not on the Porsche UK site yet, is it?

[Rob.]

I can assure you the screen shot is from the Porsche UK configurator.

Scratch that, I used my initiative and checked.

Oops, got carried away clicking - still, lot of money for a hideous car!

audi Q7 in jewish racing gold: £120,295 with all the options.

thats plainly ridiculous, even with £93k of that for the base car [v12 tdi]. whoever is buying these things need their heads tested

23k Alfa Mito. Not actually a bad car, but ridiculous for something based on a Punto. This was the exact reason I didnt buy one!

Love how you tried to make the car look st...but it still looks good

Good, yes.

But 23k's worth of good?!?

I'm here, but sadly I have no idea how to make a poll!

There are some superb suggestions here, the orange Cayenne genuinely made me laugh out loud when I saw it. I also admire the dedication to the cause of anyone making an effort to add all the silly options, but leave the car on standard steelies with no nav or a/c for that extra money-losing ability

The pink Jazz is looking pretty good, along with the £30k Megane Scenic, and although I suggested it I think the manual 2.0D Volvo S80 at £40k is pretty good too!

i think my 318i at £43k was up there, especially as i put on more in options than the list price of the car!
