A fool and their money are soon parted!

 

Cars with really low mileage are pretty useless unless you want to put them in a museum as you can't really use them without devaluing them.

Even though I am a RS fan and have been for years this is a ridiculous amount of money, and for the life of me I cannot understand just how mental the prices have been for the RS marque the past few years.

Way way way out of the average man to afford now.

That is crazy but I guess things are worth what people are willing to pay at the end of the day

 

all it takes is two rich guys in the same room who both really want it

 

I do love the sierra but for me it was always the escort that looked better, Essex boy through and through I guess

 

also. mileage isn't everything as anyone over on the Volvo site will tell you .. if you do plan on using it just think how many rubber parts are going to need replacing despite never being used, it still needs just as much attention as the higher mileage cars

 

and if it just goes in dry storage and resurfaces unused in another ten years, profit or not that bloke just wasted his money

Anyone who’s got £1/2 mil to drop in a car isn’t going to be destitute if its value plummets. It’s also unlikely that they’re a fool.

that's not always necessarily true nowadays in the age of youtube and reality TV stars
