Surely he's put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Dubya · 21st April 2016, 08:51

It's much more than you would pay for the average 75, however if the mileage is correct it isn't the average 75. To all intents and purposes it is a new car, where else would you get a new car that well equipped and that nice to drive for under 7 grand?

Daveluck · 21st April 2016, 08:51

Less than 6k miles,

as per earlier post a rare 1.8 auto tourer

Someone will but it and probably not too far off that price...

Scaramanga · 21st April 2016, 08:51

Low milage, good condtion...

Ok they are being quite hopeful

But, stll more value for money than paying ££££s for a brand new (bland new) overpriced euro box and getting less quality for your dosh.

Isn't it great to see one in that condition.

May be a tad optimistic on price but I reckon it's the right place to start, see what interest there is?

johnnyb44 · 21st April 2016, 09:18

I wonder what it's realistically worth. £4000 maybe to a true enthusiast. It's difficult to put a price on a car like that at the moment.

I purchased a 1.8T auto with slightly more mileage, 3 years newer & a Connie & it was just over £6000 cheaper than this one. Ridiculous price.

EDIT:.....and just to add I was the only person to make an offer on the above car and yes it was advertised on the forum at £5,600 less than the one in the advert and nobody was interested. I bought it at trade price rather than let it go to a dealer.

This is just silly.

Nothing warrants that kind of price, look at what else you can buy with around £7k from a main dealer, not ebay

Brand new Kia Picanto with a seven year warranty £7895

Brand new Skoda Citigo for £8275 that has a three year warranty

2007 range topping Skoda Octavia Laurin and Klement 1.9 diesel with 57k miles for £5990 again with a warranty (in fact there are loads of Skodas for around that price that have sensible mileage and one here for £4500)

If you venture onto ebay sales £7k buys you,

A BMW Z4 £6650

A 2011 VW Passat £6500

2010 BMW 320D M Sport £7300

Safe to say, if I was buying a replacment car for that kind of money, I would buy all of the above before the car linked to in the opening post.
