Re that Allegro, if you're going to ask £7k for a car, at least spend 10 minutes hoovering the carpets and getting rid of the debris on the dashboard

We really need an "angry" option on the like button for shit such as this.

I'll have to settle for calling them "pretentious twats", and "half-arsed photoshop feckwits".

Apple Carplay is exactly the modification the classic RR enthusiast is looking for in a restoration.

Ah, but you see, even the mere mention of MK1 ESCORT in the title instantly boosts the value of literally anything.

However, they made the rookie error of not including "NOT RS2000 MEXICO RETRO L@@K". If they'd done that, they'd have easily got a ton for it.

I’ve no idea how you’d go about valuing something like this but no matter how hard I try, I see this as £5-6k max. 
 

I've always had the suspicion that the guy who designed the front of this had issues. Either he had found his boss in bed with his wife, been passed over for promotion or maybe was really, really hung over and allowed his five year old to draw the front.  It just looks like a cartoon car who is so so sad.

...the brochure interestingly is stamped by another Peugeot dealer in the west midlands. The order form shows no discount on the sale price so perhaps Solihull Motor Co failed to live up to expectation hence the order was placed elsewhere? Judging by both the condition of the car, the documentation and the hand written notes he was certainly a stickler for detail...

The advert wanks on tediously in similar vein for ages.

Price:

From the advertising text- The interior is a fabulous place to reside

Is the same sort of 309 GTi as the one I had ? (purchased back in the day for 150 quid). My abiding memory of 'residing' in the interior of that was the seats used to get damp due to a leaky sunroof. It was a good fun car to drive but I would struggle to describe the interior as fabulous.

Also  I know Wilko pointed this out, and the main point of this thread is overpriced cars on the web but Jeesus 21 grand for a 5 door!

I watched a classic auction recently where one of those with similar miles and in similar nick (with bonus awesome alloys) sold for... £1000

At least its the diesel version so you can recoup your 12 grand outlay by running it as a minicab.

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

12 grand for a Granada diesel? WTF?!

[Ian_Fearn]

This months PC mag. I’ll take the 80 thanks....

That Granada:

"Offers invited"

I should bloody well hope so.

Presumably he damaged that corner by reversing it into a Peugeot so hard, the badge got stuck to it?

OOH shiny.

It is well tidy and 19000 on the clock isn't much. Whether I would pay that much is doubtful.

Not sure if this is the right thread but here's my collection of premium, future-classic, unmolested, 'only going up in value', wanky carandclassic ads

 

£5000 E39 isn't for the faint hearted! So don't fucking call him if you have a faint heart.

 

An unmolested MR2 previously owned by a teacher. Teachers /= molesting. He's also driven it carefully because of his profession

 

Hi Car Enthusiasts and Petrol Heads, here's a 1.1 Saxo...

 

Stunning registration number here

 

Already expensive versions of cars are "only going up". Remember old=classic

 

Astra = classic. This one stands out because of its brilliant silver and contrasting black cloth

I would like another Riley 4/72. 

For my £9k I’d want no tippex on my tyres for a start.

Amongst the usual bullshit  the ad informs “twin carburettors giving better performance”  Ok, every little helps.

Oh.

What else have they missed out? Thermostat-housing nuts for a start. A bit of garden hose for the breather?

And that is a horrid colour combination:  school-lavatory over prison-corridor green.

My pension lump-sum is safe for now.
