Pretty sure 1250 would get you a normal 407 coupe, never mind one with the boot replaced with plywood that doesn't even run ffs. Look how waterproof it isn't, just imagine how bad the interior smells with all the rainwater soaked into it. My eyes! Fuuuuucccckkkk!!! Please may we have a warning before such content is pasted?

horriblemercedes Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This fallacy of "I've spent money therefore I should get it back" pisses me off. It costs money to rent a tank to crush a car, so should that be reflected in the value when you sell the crushed car? davehedgehog31 and warch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It is hard to see where £3k went on that isn't it? If they'd done it themselves it would have cost the price of a bit of plywood. Then you could almost understand it but to pay somebody else just makes no sense. And if he really thought it was that good wouldn't the money be better spent making it work again?

DavidB Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 He made that because he closed the boot on his stupid ebike and smashed the glass and balked at spending £120 for new glass fitted.
