35 MPG apparently.. That seems VERY optimistic!

Oh, and I hate ads which state '100' miles. What the fk does that even mean?

Is it wrong that I want it?



Although not at that price.

That's awesome, I want one. I don't even do 50 miles a week, but I want one.

He's probably spent a good 2 grand with that amount of text/pictures on ebay to be honest. Maybe he's trying to recoup from the extortion?

[DrMoriarty]

a 2.5 V6 with that millage should be 900-1400, for a really good one. and 1200-1600 for a miller super charged

[Mark-C]

Surprisingly good cars but that's the wrong price by some distance!

Hopefully not, because I do too. I always rather liked the Xedos 6 and 9.

The price seems bonkers though.

[Randy Winkman]

Does the rock come with it?

[TheTurbonator]

I'd expect to see one of them in SOTW not being sold for over £2500, seriously what planet is that guy on?

Very nice car and I do quite like it but as said the asking price is ridiculous.

It does indeed.

I think the issue is that no matter what the price nobody* in their right minds is going to buy a 14 year old automatic import V6, because Even if it were £1000, there would be more sensible** options available.

So a dealer may as well double the price and hope that there's one been born that's been looking for exactly that car for ages, and doesn't care what the price is.

• When I say nobody, I guess I mean not many people, in a vague way.

• When I say sensible, I mean something that won't cost the earth to run, like the dreadful 1.6 astra automatic I saw on the board at work today for £750, or the Bravo TDI for £900, or the 1.8 vectra I saw for £500.
