So the seller is actually in the ballpark with his price? Sweet holy Jeebus.

 

 

 

Still, 40 grand for a Renault? :shock::shock::shock:

Don't knock it

 

Nigel Mansell drove a Renault.

If I was stupidly wealthy I'd pay £40k for something like that.

 

I suppose the seller is hoping for somebody in that situation.

Soz to be a slight party pooper here, but isn't the idea of this thread to list stuff that's advertised for a stupid price rather than reaching it through bidding? Not that it hasn't been interesting to see how much random stuff is fetching though!

 

 

Fair enough, I wasn't intending to make it a regular thing, I was just excited at making 1/3rd of the purchase price of the whole vehicle back though selling just the tailgate and a single door handle :D

 

 

But when you think about it, isn't stuff reaching a high price through bidding also down to eBay users having a bizzarely inflated sense of what something is worth? Only in this case, there was at least two of them for each item.

 

Apologies, I was having a twattish moment :(

I imagine even more rarer GpB motors like 205s and RS200s would be worth more.

Ignoring the price, it wouldn't take a lot of de-bumming to turn that into a decent car, espesh with the TD in it.

 

If it was about £800 I'd be looking for ways to raise a bit of cash and seeing how much I could sell the wheels and roof rack to some unimaginative hanger on for.

This P100 would make a handy truck for someone with a DIY project on the go, its only nine grand so works out cheaper than hiring 400 skips.

 

 

:D:D

That P100 is a joke. You could barely credit it if it had 3000 miles on it or something but it's got 58k and replacement Alfa front seats.

Purple helmet also has a comedy priced Merc 190e cosworth as well. One of the mods over on mercedes190.co.uk owned it and it was hanging. The sills, rear inner and outer arches and front wings were all going big time and was worth £2k tops. Now quickly blown over and for sale with that nutcase for £6995. That money will buy a really nice cossie, but not that one!

£2495 is clearly crazy for a low spec 205. That said, I may have to eat my words in a few years time if rally tax becomes a big deal with these things, I should imagine mint standard Sunbeams are starting to go for daft money.

Not as crazy as £5k for his boggo Orion

I think we're missing a trick here.

£20.83+VAT per week. Read the bottom of the page, that figure is based on a 24 month hire period.

 

£20.83+VAT = £25.00 per week.

 

52 x £25.00 = £1,300.

 

52 x 2 = £2,600

 

Just to hire the bastard!

To be fair, if Platinum Auto Rentals can find people stupid enough to pay that kind of money to rent an old crate, then good luck to them.

30 quid? You could probably buy a TATA for that :) As for the Cavalier, it makes the one near me for sale at £800 look an absolute bargain.

It's fun to add your own punctuation:

 

"mecanicaly the car is sound; good engine, good gear, box good, brakes new, tyres all around."
