ebay 'BARGAINS'

[Tetleysmooth]

Now this really is a bargain.

A restored Senator going for £500 at the mo.

Wrong thread dude.

 

That should go in the normal Ebay jobby

 

This thread is an 'ironic bargain' type affair.

 

[Tetleysmooth]

Oh well, I'll go and stand in the corner with my pointed hat on then.

 

Still a bargain though, whichever thread it's in.

Two days back this was on ebay as a genuine bargain, £1795 or best offer, it's now been snapped up by a trader, had some grainy shots taken and now ranks as a genuine contender to this thread.

I have no idea what these rice rockets are worth, but this seems a bit steep, considering its a K10 Micra with what appears to be £150's worth of bodykit. Applied by S Wonder and S Hawking bodyworx...

 

£4495. I just don't get it. SOZ!

Ahh, a Super Turbo. A 1.3 litre engine with a supercharger and a turbo bolted on from the factory. Done after Lancia demonstrated the technology on the rally stage, and waaaaaaaaaaay before VW did the same thing with a piss-ant Golf and claimed they were startlingly original.

Wonder what the penalty code for exceeding the speed limit in cloud fucking cuckoo land is?

"Banned from driving", eh? So the car has probably been thrashed to blue buggery then!

[willswitchengage]

 

On ebay US and A

 

180,000 miles, dodgy gearbox, can't have more than one standard American in without the suspension collapsing, shit tyres, uses a pint of oil every 600 miles and generally in awful condition, bidding at $2100 dollars reserve not met?!

Well now be fair it could be a drinking charge. Just look out for a cloud of wavy scratch marks around the driver's door lock outside and a tell-tale waft of sick and disinfectant inside.

OLD SKOOL FORD YO......becoming annoying now, okay it's a Mexico, but not original. And the paint doesn't seem to match.

Got just about 17 hours to go, and currently £15,101 RNM.

When I think about all the Mk2's I had access to back in the day, i'd be a fackin' millionaire!!

That's not bad for one of those if it's in decent nick.

930cc these little crackers, but I take your point

 

Also, that 'Mexico' is completely the wrong colour.

[Junkman]

Since when do these go for three-and-a-quarter in tatty condition?

 

Triumph Maylower

 

I may lower it, yes.

 

 

Excellent condition inside

 

 

Oh, yes, I trust you 100%.

 

and out

 

 

Especially the Rustoleum bedaubed bumpers enhance it no end.

 

A must see!

 

Yeah, right.

[Alexg]

This, you will not believe...

... yep, I had to check again too.

[wuvvum]

I'm pretty sure 4starclassics has featured in this thread before - most of his prices are equally laughable. Ten bags for an E12 520 anyone?

[phil_lihp]

That's got to be a typo, shirely? More likely £7499 or something equally sensible*

 

However, this is quite remarkable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Polo-1-3-G40-/121070939618?pt=Automobiles_UK - yes, it's a tidy little thing, but come one, the price must be out by a factor of 5 at least?

 

That said, if they can get the prices they're asking, good on them, they have some lovely motors in that shiny white showroom.

[Formula Autos]

 

Is there 70K's worth of cocaine hidden in the thing?

 

If not, I'm baffled. It hasn't even got a blue oval on it.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The little 10 inch steel wheels are in perfect condition and secured in place with some sparkling chrome nuts, they are all shod in a matching set of 145 R10 Diplomat boots that as you would expect still have their full amount of tread. The brakes have been fully tested and have no problem washing off speed.

 

I really wouldn't like to be doing any "Washing off of speed" on 40 year old tyres... I remember my Grandad trying to get me to try on some shoes that'd never been worn before and the rubber stuck to the ground and melted/perished instantly upon contact. They were 45-50 years old

[messerschmitt owner]

Cool car the z. I'd say £25000 in that condition with that history. One sold a few years back at Barrett Jackson for almost 30000 dollars.

 

Kind of makes me regret selling two for £800 each.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I'd love to be a classic car dealer, sharing my white room with an ever changing selection of fascinating old motors. But I assume it's not possible to actually make a living doing it, unless you just happen to own a large amount of storage you don't need to pay rent on. There are so many dealers online who seem to have the same stock sitting around for months on end, and unless the Sultan of Brunei takes a fancy to one of them and hands over the asking price, how do they pay the bills?

[John F]

...how do they pay the bills?

Not ebay, but parked up locally:

 

 

1980s Mini, dented front panel, overspray everywhere, rust breaking through on seams, massive subwoofer badly cut into rear parcel shelf, non road legal rear tyres. And crucially here, no air conditioning.

 

QAR 70,000, or to put it another way, £12,700.

 

Those tyres:

Five times the price I paid for one in 2001. The wheels are wrong, looks like it's had the wrong springs fitted too. Should have BBS RAs and lowered suspension. It's also coming up to a £600 charger rebuild in 7000 miles.

[Negative Creep]

 

Crappy photos and they can't even get the name of the car right
