Title: car prices
Post by: henri on 27 October 2010, 23:40:17
 :) Hi Guys

I live in France,dont do many posts quite happy reading the posts of other members but feel I have to give folks a smile.I drive a 2.6 cdx in VGC full s/h 2003 and worth what? if Im lucky £1500-2000 stopped in a village the Vendee today and spotted a car parked on the Verge 1990 2.5 diesel 4d saloon in questionable condition I reckon in the UK it mighht fetch £500 so I laughed in disbelief at the price on the w/screen.wait for it------------------4200euros I know second hand cars in france are expensive but this is going into the realms of fantasy when I think of all the excellent cars in the Uk crunched under the scrappage scheme it makes a mockery of it when in France they run around in cars you or I wouldnt be seen out in daylight
anyway long live the miggy and this website cheers from the vendee. :

now there'sa thought Henri.... 

maybe we should all bring our old cars out to you, and you can sell them for that kind of price....  ...  taking a share of the profits....  then we can all buy more expensive miggys!

Absolutely! SOME of us have to slum it on pre-facelifts, not like these here rich folks with their big, square rubber-coated stereos, electronic boot release and grilles mounted in the bonnet!!!! grrrrr!!   :y
