HOW FUCKING MUCH?

In the current market I don't think that's too far off šŸ˜³

Wonder if it's Automatic? Low mileage petrol automatic = šŸ’²šŸ’²šŸ’² at the moment

Even still, retail price is coming up as Ā£4700 or Ā£3800 private.Ā 

Assuming that's a private sale it's still overpriced but not as much as one might think!Ā

I just picked up an all singing all dancingĀ  13 plate 107 Allure with 50K for Ā£2300 and I really thought I had paid more than it was worth.

I know what you mean and I do completely agree. It's just the way things are at the moment in the used car market I wouldn't be surprised if someone does actually pay something at least close to Ā£5k for it!Ā

I must say, I don't know why that suddenly makes it worth in excess of Ā£6k? It's just a bog standard ZT-T V6. Ā£1500 tops only because of the low mileage šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

I do know that, I was just saying I don't understandĀ why people are bidding such an amount. There's a difference between asking price (determined by the seller) and bids (determined by prospective buyers) i.e why is someone actually willing to pay Ā£6k .... šŸ‘

MK6 Esgrot with a short MOT (less than 3 weeks to be precise) in a very dull green/brown...

Can't possibly imagine why they haven't put a new MOT on it before sale ......

I know Ā£800 doesn't sound a lot, but with a high chance of it only being worth Ā£250 as bean tins in a couple of weeks I don't somehow think its value for money

Ā 

Ā 

In the present pricing surge both of those cars seem to be priced OK. It is a little off putting that the Ford does not have much of a ticket. But at that price it would be worth a punt for someone with some skills. Both are not worthy of a "bargain" post IMHO

Both should be in the ebay tat thread.

It's a MK6 Escort which will probably never be desirable enough to be considered a good investment, if it has a new MOT then for sure Ā£800 is a good price, even Ā£1200 wouldn't be outrageous. But it could be totally rotten so that's a risk. Ā£500 is a lot to lose in the space of 3 weeks if it fails miserably and is nothing more than scrap

The sarcasm was very much taken into account, someone is asking Ā£800 for a car that is realistically only worth Ā£300 unless it has an MOT šŸ¤”

"You're in safe hands" - don't know if that's supposed to be the car in the safe hands, because I don't think it's going anywhere for the moment at that price !!

I know it's clean, original, unmolested and form a 'classic' dealer throwing a speculative price on it....

BUT HOW FUCKING MUCH M9?!?

I especially like the fact they haven't even put a new timing belt on for that money because it was done it 2020.... it is genuinely a 45 minute job on these.

If that's the going rate for one, my soon to be for sale, rust free 16v must be worth near 5k if i put a years MOT on it šŸ˜šŸ˜‚

MK3 Mondeo, Ā£3500 for some reason. It's an auto so it won't be cheap to tax, either. It's in Warwick, where it is likely to stay for some time.Ā

We had a similar era C-Max Ghia auto, there were some real mingebag omissions on it. No wonder Ford ditched the name, they'd cheapened it so much nobody wanted to pay for it.Ā

I wouldn't give you 800 pence , horrible things , the mk3 escort was okay but this is just plain ugly , tinny ,a crap dash terrible engines ,I had enough of orions as company cars.Good job someone in Ford had the sense to develop the Focus. I believe this piece of shit was still being produced in the 2000s in China and other parts of the world
