Default RS500 review on Piston Heads

http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=26460

Yes I know we're all bored of hearing about this car, but I found the read interesting, it was on the front page of pistonheads!

Going by a couple of their comments, I don't think they quite see how strong the colleting market can be

Well, there are plenty selling at £50k these days so we're led to believe, so the proof is in the pudding....

what do pistonheads useres know anyway? They are so far up their own arses they don't know whether to fart or talk!!! Don't think they really realise just how rare or special that car is.

It's still only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and currently it's still for sale, so it's not worth £65k.

He could advertise it at 100k and the whole world could gasp in shock at how much RS500's are worth.

Yes, it's a special car and yes, to certain people its the ultimate fast ford but in a market that will only decrease in size I think I'd be holding onto to it for a few years more, besides if he really wanted to sell it, £62k would have been snapped up (just shy of 5% off the asking price). I would go as far as saying its just clever promotion by the owner.

Cant see the appeal personally, they arent any better to drive than a normal 3 door, but I guess if you buy stuff just cause its rare then so be it, bid away amongst yourselves.
