This guy's gotta be dreaming.....

I think it's offers he is after

 

You need to learn how to read numbers lol

Steve

 

^ +1 lol

 

Lol, or nearest offer

 

the description reads
No I do not want £1,000,000 for the car, price is on application. Its just a nice round number!

 

 

made me chuckle, think I will have to out that pic on the advert

 

paul did you not get offers around 62-65k a short time back ??

dunno if i could part with it (unless i needed the money )

 

Over 2 years ago now Chris, its been in storage ever since

 

jees was that 2 years ago

 

really ? got offered £65k and didn't take it madness lol

 

Thank fuck I'm not a banker - I totally read that as £100,000 and not £1,000,000

 

if it was worth 65000 2 years ago what sort of money would it be now

 

LOL at reading it wrong, done that before now, its worth quite a bit due to number, but TBH these days I wouldn't be prepared to pay the money RS500s are fetching now whether I could afford it or not. Gone beyond sense, the owner should keep it and enjoy it.

 

to much imo, I don't get the prices they have gone silly imo.
I know the history and all that and mint low miles example, but at £65k its £10k over my r35 which I cant quite get my head around lol

 

So does the seller. He's got it up for £1,000,000 but he'd be prepared to knock 3 zeros off - that's great, I'll be round with £1,000 in the morning.

 

not a pop at you or anything, but its all about what people want aint it.

If i had say 70k to spent on one garage toy ( I do love a cosy, especially an RS500 ) and your car it epic spec for the price , but i'd pass them both up,

i'd go for a 964 911 turbo, which are at a decent millage around the 70k mark, not the fastest or best handling, but look sooo good.




still shit like this is utter madness, but its what someone wants, http://www.theguardian.com/business/...ion-record-car

^ for 2% of its cost you could buy a brand new 458 !

 

couple of things from my view,

advert is doing exactly what it was aimed to do,
get it linked, passed on and talked about!

how many other Moonstone 500`s with origional 500, dealer plates, stickers, Ford mats, Boxed foglamps and Air Con are for sale? OR Could be for sale???

collectors/enthusiasts will pay well over the ods if they just simply want it.

 

If I had 70k I would by a 3dr cossie a escort cossie and a Audi RS4.

 

The thing is if you bought this car for whatever crazy price it goes for what are you going to do with it? To retain its value or even go up more it can only become a museum exhibit? If you actually drove it the value would go down straight away. Is the new owner going to put it in a heated , carpeted ,lighted garage and invite "selected People " to come and drool over it?
This is a car that Ford should buy and put it in their museum for everyone who wants to see such an original one to come and look at.

 

I'd buy it - and then rag the tits off it in the rain. It's a car FFS....

 

No Glenn, you'd use your brain and pay your mortgage off surely ?

 

Yeh I would pay the morgage off matey tbh. But if I didnt have one they are the cars I would buy.

 

Ha well spotted come and pick it up then think I had better change that
