Wildly optimistic!

Was browsing the classifieds for another old P-car project and spotted this.

With an asking price of €35,000 with only 141,00km and almost 20 years old I can honestly say that it represents an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!
:rofl:
Some people are so optimistic/entitled/deluded/desperate/completely out of touch or all of the aforementioned it's ludicrous!
I messaged to ask if he had mistakenly added a 0 to the asking price and his reply: 'Non, c'est juste'.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, if you don't ask you don't get. If it sells, kudos to the seller :D

Maybe it's actually me that's deluded, out of touch. Values seem to be on the ridiculously high side in Belgiumland for some reason. Not that I'm looking for a Boxster mind. I was sure you could pick up an old Boxster for around 5 gwand not so long ago.
:?

It's you matey. :)
Do you not know that as soon as a car reaches 20 years old it becomes officially a 'classic', which means doubling the asking price instantly? He is pre-empting the status, as he won't sell it until at least next year!

And yes, early gen 1 Boxsters with a few miles were fetching around £3-4k a few years ago.
