Biggest loss ever...

The biggest i've heard of recently was 12.5k on a 08 Audi TT. He was being offered it @ 30k!

I know a guy in West Cork with this M5, original sale price €180k (he picked it up a year or two old I think:


I'd say it is definitely worth less than half the money now. (I used it for my wedding along as a grooms mans' car, what a machine, I got to the church way to early!

Still memories of it...some day...

No offence mate i know that car and i know who owns it !! He did'nt pay close to what your saying €180k ???? for an m5 thats just laughable, he only bought this the middle of last year in Bolands Waterford City and traded in a 6 series coupe !! I think this car retailed @ approx 80k so he's pulling your leg with €180k just look at what you can buy these year old for

and that price went up after the emmisions last july i'm sure you could have bought this car new in 06 for €140k new !! €180k is just fairytale. A year old one of these can drop approx 60k in its first year

Hi biggybum, that's what I said, original price. When I said original price I meant retail price, oh how words on a screen don't convey meaning properly like a face to face conversation!

BTW Oh, if you meet him & decide to tell him there's a pic up on the net, make sure to emphasise the reg is blocked, he's a big man & I don't want him to kill me! :D:D

lol i know he aint to be messed with but sound fella all the same !!

Amazing dealers taking huge hits on fresh or large cars, where others are complete eijits where refusing offers for unsellable cars.

Offered fair value to a big Limerick dealer for an 11yr old, leggy, big engined, high powered, broken, crash repaired on 2 occasions, no historied, well used, auto, 4wd, sitting in the yard since Oct '07, imported Volvo V70 and he completely refused the price I was willing to pay for the car (what it was worth - 2k, I even had the money in my pocket) kept me hanging for over a week - I just needed something cheap,big and interesting, but still refused to come down to reality on the price. He wanted 4k.....so it still sits on his forecourt while I drive my much newer, less mileaged, fully historied, never damaged, BMW touring for only 2k more

Frikkin' idiot.

Oh...and there was another in Dublin who wouldn't budge on the sticker price for another example of the same car that ended up as in much worse condition....that the lying little toad described as completely "perfect" , never painted or any other blah blah blah
Sorry mate, a car that's been painted front and rear, looks like an engine was out of it, interior shagged and still needing the front and rear painted...again, with a new bumper required is NOT FRIKKIN PERFECT. (also sitting there for nearly a year :rolleyes:)

While I applaud and feel some pain for the guys taking big hits to shift big metal, the 2 examples above are plain stupid. BTW the delaer I did buy the BMW off was brilliant, no fuss or BS, agreed a price immediatley and drove off...happy days !
