    Whenever I see a "replica".. I always think. Anyone that knows what the car is trying to be (Evo, S4, RS6 etc..) will spot that it is a fake straight off and the rest of people don't know what it is and won't be impressed. so, what is the point?

    2500 for a 18yr old Lancer.. :eek:

    You forgot the most common ones, the M badge on a regular 5 series!

    Personally I don't mind M badges on an M-Sport BMW be it on the front wheel arches or the bootlid face.

    People always whinge about it but it's the exact same thing as Audi do with S-Line badges on the wheel arches and no one ever mentions that!

    Hmm not sure about this

    Sold my 00 "future classic" mk4 last year with great spec for €700.
    I might be missing something but even with the low mileage, history and condition surely it's not worth more than a grand?

    Seems steep alright - least or second-least desirable GTi depending on your point of view! And that colour....

    Didn't someone on here have a deposit put down on that and when they went to view the car it wasn't as decribed.

    I think it had rust issues along with other issues.

    The price is very steep for a mediocre car that is supposedly not in great condition. A 1.6 run of the mill corolla beat one of those to 60mph on top gear years ago

    Reminds me of reading a claim somewhere years ago (Car & Driver maybe?) that the then (1980's) Opel Corsa was faster 0-60 than the Audi Quattro, but the Quattro was faster 0-100 than a Porsche 911!

    I think the corolla would of beaten the gti to a higher speed than 60mph. It was pulling away at the end of the race.

    Oh I'd agree - think it had it beaten in every department. I believe the issue with the Quattro was the inertia of the (then big and heavy) turbo, combined with the inertia of the 4wd system, which sapped power until both were up and running, when the godawful and wonderful sudden turbo surge launched it like a missile.

    Pick seven is from a different yoke altogether presumably a new ish caddy or caravelle etc.

    All the rest of the pictures are from the mk3 it's a rip off considering there is a class mk3 vr6 high line on donedeal for 5€k in roscommon

    That Mk3 GTi is a great entry for the thread!

    I privately sold one that was very similar (though not in that classy purple hue) last year and was happy to get less than 10% of what that one's advertised for.
    I was incentivised to get rid of it quick so maybe it was worth much more, but I doubt it.

    Went to view it. Bucket of rust.

    Compared to the UK, where they’re £16k GBP with no VRT then it’s not that bad.

    People who buy Massaretti's are dreamers anyway, you have to put a lot of very good reasons not to buy out of your head and concentrate on the fact its a Massaretti. A ludicrous price is just another reason that you can ignore. Maybe its reassuring.

    So what you're saying then it isn't overpriced? I've never seen any of that model Quattroporte for any less than that really.

    I wouldn’t see the value in them, but the yardstick for stuff like that is the U.K. market.
