Unfortunately the rs tax has created a bubble and there will be a few that can pay that amount so when someone does have one to sell they think they can demand a higher rate.....I'm sure we have all tried to buy something and been told "well one sold for x amount last week".
Realistic sales are out there but most sellers want there retirement fund bumping up.
I'd love a 3dr but 35k plus for some of the ebay rubbish is shocking....escorts seem to be about the same now, 35k and theres some stunning looking cars ...weather they are though is another thing.
