    Perhaps I am missing something here, but in what way is that a rip off?

    Have you seen the mileage on it?

    Just because it's of year 2000 it's that expensive too, Dealers logic. :rolleyes:

    You could get a 95, exact same car..with half the miles for a third of the price.

    I don’t think that makes it a rip off. I’m not so sure that because you could buy a car 5 years older much cheaper has any bearing on it. That seems like strange logic to me.

    It would be more accurate to suggest that the mileage makes the price a little expensive but that in no way makes the seller offering the car a “rip off”.

    Er, what do you use so? I mean there isn't much left, other than the buy and sell - which hasn't been much better as of late, and generally full of true ****e.
    There's plenty of reasonably priced stuff on carzone.

    Its a great idea for a thread, cause theres a lot of people with their heads in the clouds out there, but I would've picked a better rip-off than a starter-first-timers car for 3.5k! I sold a '99 clio last year for 3,750 in desparate need of a service, battery, timing belt, only 3-months NCT left, base model and so forth.
    It sold via carzone in 3 hours with NO pictures, and I was hounded with calls. it was onw of the cheaper ones on the site
    Cheap starter cars are hugely popular and easy to shift.

    heres a rip-off: an '06 Volvo S80 http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/Volvo/S80/2.0T-SE/947239/

    an extra 2k would get me an '06 new model S80 which is a great car

    TBH most cars listed on www.carzone.ie are rip-offs too much unrealistic prices and over-inflated egos from private sellers about their babies.

    For example, I'm selling a 2002 Honda CRV listed for €10,750. Now there's 25 for sale in this year and the cheapest is €9,950 (so I am not too far off the game) but the most expensive is €18,950!! That's a difference of 100% for the same thing!! This seems to echo in most cars for sale.

    Case in point:

    For €18,950

    For €10,750

    I suppose the blue makes it worth an extra €8,200! :rolleyes:

    No one is forcing you to buy any of these cars children... surely you have something more worthwhile to worry about.

    Seriously, get a life... who cares if someone has overvalued their Micra/Clio/ whatever by 500 quid.

    If it's overpriced then it will most likely not sell in the current second hand market. Simple as that.

    You're a mature person aren't you.

    And I'm a lad, or is that more of your condescending attitude?
