The world has gone mad, got well over £10k for my 205 GTI recently and that was an 80,000 miler. It was only worth about £1,000 ten years, crazy

I bought a new XR2 after having a Peugeot 205XS. I thought it was going to be a step up and loved the way it looked. However, it was a disappointment right from the beginning. The XS was much better to drive. After only three months the steering rack had to be replaced followed by the clutch a few months later. At that point I gave up and and part exchanged for a Peugeot 1.9 GTI. What a brilliant car that was. You just couldn’t drive it slowly. Thank goodness there weren’t as many speed cameras about at that time.

This reminds me of the crazy days of the late '80s. Classic car prices went nuts as the 'red braces' brigade didn't care how much they cost, they just wanted whatever it was. I ived in Northampton at the time and the Jaguar garage were asking over £120 K for a series 2 ragtop E-type. It all crashed (notthe E-type) horribly and people lost huge amounts of money.

I would have thought you'd learnt your lesson after the first time. :D
