Daaàmmmmmm how much.

dodge8283

Its the 0 miles bit i didnt get.

gcfcos

Don't know why these adverts never give a proper description. Perhaps the cars sell themselves

RSmark84

shittest 0 miles car i've ever seen. Why aftermarket alarm, gearknob and seats worn. Some random tacky chrome/st/st? heatshield on the rear bumper, Morettes. That'll never sell for that money. Why no pic of the tachometer/odometer to prove miles.

Read the ad, it's done 54k, and is also way over priced lol

dodge8283

I believe the 54 is him restating the price, unless the price is the same as the mileage lol

Harris.

He has a RS500 also for £99,995

dodge8283

15 thousand miles on the clock

RSmark84

read the ad it say its done 0 miles.

gcfcos

I think u need to read The add that's the price not mileage lol

fuzzy

The add says its done 0 miles a couple of times so its not a misprint. Its a crap advert for such a high price car.

At that crazy price it would need to be the best one in Britain!!

Overpriced like most for sale!

turbolee

ye it says 15k miles so over priced have to be mental to pay that sort of money

Cos500

Should be half the money, don't ever pay that for an escort

Caddyshack

At £25k that would be a nice car. He has a maybach on for £795,000 that has to be a mistake, more like £79,500 surely? My has 3 maybach for around £100k on Austin Owen website....he has a £1.4m enzo that I saw when I bought my Range Rover off him....it was up for £1m back the so going up just by sitting in his hangar!

This guy had a rough,tatty,ropey shed if a saph up a while back for mental money.
It was black and didn't have a straight panel,interior was dog eared and just looked a bit of a shed.
He also had a tidy rs1600i as I know the previous keeper but it's value had went up 6k roughly in a week between him selling it and it appearing on eBay at his place.
Good for folk with an rs as it brings the value up,bad for anybody wanting to buy or trade up.
Just dealers making money I suppose,I'd buy private every time.

Another top priced car from Sterling... Can't believe the cars look as good in the flesh as they make them in the pics

Pics look like they have had done kind of action applied to make them look grey and really shiney.

JasonPD

Seen the rs1600i, looks great in the pics but they are suggesting a re spray - shame pics don't show problem areas.

The R5 GTT they have that really got my attention. It's the car I had when I was 18 (when I really wanted a cosworth) and my most favourite hot hatch. Never seen one in that colour before and apart from the wheels, I'd happily drive as is.

I'd be interested to know how they do that, always trying to expand my hugely limited photoshop skills.

My wife's a photographer and she took pics of an impreza I had,think she used an action called Lightroom which made the car look a lot more shiney than it was and it would disguise flaws in the paint,a clever person would photoshop just the car,the pictures of those cars the whole picture has the same effect all over it.

gjh

It'll sell at that, not sure about the escort cos though, there was quite a nice mallard green one there for 17and something, looked pretty good for the money.

JasonPD

Ha ha yes I agree they could have just enhanced the car and not the background as well.

Adam-M

The shut line between the grill and bonnet is quite a bit wider on the drivers side, it is a cosworth I suppose but it is top line money so just being a dick and picking flaws lol

cossynut2

I would be well pissed off if when I went to look at the car it was nothing like as good as it was in the doctored photos! Maybe they think once you are there you will buy it regardless of real condition?
