Dave Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 browsing autotrader last night (as you do) and found a vti mb6 and a vtis mb6. Prices are bizarre! first the vti.... The ad is gone today, but it was up for £2100 with around 60 odd thousand miles on the clock. was standard, looked ok but think price was optimistic. And now for the absolute dreamer.... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201701221560630?postcode=eh331hp&maximum-mileage=60000&radius=1500&sort=price-asc&onesearchad=Used&advertising-location=at_cars&aggregatedTrim=VTI-S&model=CIVIC&make=HONDA&minimum-mileage=45000&page=1 bargain eh! Funny thing is though, although those prices seem high to us, for some reason its ok for a 3 door ek4 to have well over 130k on the clock and have a price of £4000! 4k for a car thats not as well equipped, with less power and common as muck. Ah, but its all about the "JDM" (when most were built in Swindon!) Yo! Car prices are just wierd at the moment. We keep looking for a classic such as a ford escort mk2 or a capri, but they are just fetching crazy money now, even for lowly rusted models.

Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yeah, im constantly scouring the net for a classic ford (mk1 or mk2 escort and mk3 capri) but like you say prices are out of this planet now! Bugger, because i got offered a tidy capri 2.8 injection about 2 years ago....needed minimal work and from a guy i know who owns a garage. Was his own car, even showed me it up on the ramp. Could have got it for £2500 with an mot ready for the road! Asked gayle and she said it was up to me.......i turned it down! She still casts it up to me now lol stupid boy! Cant even buy a rolling shell for that now! Gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it for 400. Sold it to my mate for 400. The company spent 3 grand on it and sold it for 14k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
