You do realise the owners of the cars you slag off are also on this forum? Have you seen the car in person? I don't think so.
This forum is supposed to be for enthusiasts to help each other not constantly knock other people's cars. If a car is rare then it's going to cost more than a more common 240 estate. This car is the only one of this model available in the country. Unless of course you know better. |

I'm not going to enter into an argument or even a discussion with you but with a post rate of ~3 a year, you don't sound very enthusiastic to me. Also, which car are you specifically referring to? Actually regardless of which car it was (as it doesn't really matter), i would have been referring to an over-optimistic price expectation from whichever seller that would have been. That is wildly different to denegrating a car, generally i don't denegrate vehicles, just point out, as objectively as i can, faults which may be apparent. Even rare cars can fall into the pit of being valueless, often because they have only been heard of by a few people and therefore are not on offer to a wide section of the buying public. Then there are things like Reliant three-wheelers which have a limited appeal and so will never realise values of similar era cars with four wheels (unless they're a Morgan) so everything is subject to market forces. ***EDIT*** Nearly forgot, the definition of "forum" is a place for open discussion. Worth remembering before entering into personal attacks!

Many of the vehicles remarked upon in this thread, and no doubt others, are being sold by commercial operations rather than enthusiasts - which means that they may have over-ambitious price-tags - or by individuals who think that their car is special. Proffering advice often acts as a wake-up call for at least some of them, as the price descends to more realistic levels.

When I had to sell my beloved 240 GL a while back, the same people announced on here and I quote "another over priced 240". The car was possibly the best in the country and certainly one of the best. The asking price was £8k and it sold for the full asking price to an enthusiast. I still miss that car and would happily pay the same price one day to buy it back. That's because I'm a true enthusiast who appreciates what it is. Just because I haven't posted on this particular forum and these people don't know me doesn't mean I'm not a knowledgeable, long term enthusiast who likes to try to help out my fellow enthusiasts. I also have the same right to my opinions on here irrespective of how much I have posted. What gets me is these people cast judgement on a car when they haven't even seen it in the flesh. |
