The most overpriced car currently on sale?

[Goose]

I was just looking at the classifieds and saw a bunch of BMW 335i M Sports for sale and was staggered by the £45k price tags. The 335i is undoubtedly an awesome machine but you can get a M3 for a shade under 50k now.

Anyway, it got me wondering, what do you think is the most overpriced (new) car currently on sale?

 

[Sone]

Volvo V70, a luxury car is far more than the price tag (25k, should be under 20k imho)

What about the new Brabus Four2, see here:

£45k for something that's got no space, will have rubbish road holding and doesn't have any grunt. I'm really struggling to think of a good use for it.

golf?

A 335i M Sport is actually closer to £33k - a £45k one has a lot of options added. An M3 with the same options would be more than £60k.

Following on from the 3 Series then, howabout not the car itself, but the BMW Options list..

Actually, arent most options lists stupiudly overpriced?

And as for car, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A Class. As pointless cars they shouldnt be worth anything!

 

[Morba]

if they were pointless then there wouldnt be so many on the road

yes. it's how bmw and mercedes make lots and lots of money

you can spec a 1 series to well over £30k
and i wouldnt be surprised if you could spec a mini to £30k too

 

[thepharcyde]

Prius

 

[flat-6]

Lexus LS430. They are like £50k and look like 25k.

 

[Rwac]

I think everyone is goign to struggle to beat that smart!

 

[mattpc]

The Smart urrrgh, even tho its 45,000euros not pounds still utterly stupid.

 

[Ricochet J]

I'd probably say the VW Golf. Great cars, just about 4k too expensive.

 

[v0n]

Saab 9-5. £27k for a £9k worth of diesel Vectra.
Volvo V50 £25k for a £9k worth of diesel Focus.

Volvo V50 £25k for a £9k worth of diesel Focus.

Well I wouldnt go THAT far! But I know what you mean.

 

[mjt]

9-5 and vectra comparison is fairly accurate

not sure about the volvo and focus though
you get a lot more car with the volvo

 

[Goose]

I'd give another vote for the Merc A-Class. You can spend north of 25k on them.

Another vote for VW Golf, overpriced as it is, THEN WITH THE OPTIONS :

£120 - Front Centre Armrest. £120 WTF!!!!

£275 iPod Prep - WTF again!
