    Two words to describe why people are buying these sheds.

    Logbooks + vin.

    Without a doubt. That's red rust box is a bargain at €2500 when you consider how much the Vat, Customs duty and VRT would amount to on a clean UK imported one.

    That’s the Amarillo special edition IS200, they were cheaper than a Sport back in the day.

    I could understand if it was a STi but would need to be tested too though to be looking for such a high price but that is just a WRX.

    What’s that one realistically worth? About a quarter of the current asking?

    In and around that. And personally if I was paying even a quarter of asking I would be looking for a full NCT to go with it.

    Wouldn't be worth 20k but with test it would be worth more than 10k but maybe €17-18k. It is a classic car after all and not far left to go till it's 56 a year to tax. But that would be for a STi model if it looked the same and was the same age. As it looks clean in pics for age.

    I always liked the Scoobies, though preferred the Mitzis. Over the years I've heard from mechanics that they can be quite troublesome for a Japanese car as the miles pile on. I dunno if that's just campfire chat though? You'd think if the seller was serious they'd clean up the interior and underbonnet. The wheel jumped out at me. Badly. That could be tarted up, as could the engine bay. Give it a service and fire it through the NCT. Never mind spellcheck the ad and give more details. That's the part I don't get with many of these ads, especially for the more niche stuff. Not so much the prices alone, but the prices and crappy presentation and descriptions.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The last place I would look when looking to buy a car is a newspaper. Unless of course back years ago when you would look in the buy and sell.

    To be fair the car looks immaculate, but 20k is a bit excessive.

    Somebody was sniffing the glue if they think the are getting 20 grand for that.

    Its a 6 grand car in the UK. Allowing for the low mileage, even 10,000 euro is optimistic.

    Nobody wants them.

    Jesus that 206 looks like a 3k car to me but the milage suggests maybe 5 to 6... But 20 is crack smoking territory. It's barely even a "hot hatch" those were all in the 90s and early 00s, that's a yoke NOBODY wants. Imagine the multiple cool cars you could get with 20k.

    People are wheeling everything out of sheds lately and asking the world for them. Wait a few months, there's a recession coming like never before and these asking prices will disappear. Youd be mad to buy any sort of car like that at the moment.

    I saw 2 on donedeal recently - UK registered 1.9 asking £20k and an Irish registered
    1.6 asking €10k.

    Now whether they're achieving those prices is an entirely different thing

    Classic auctions have a lot to answer for as far as people believing cray cray prices. So yes a couple of 205GTi's may have gone for 30-40k at auction, but they were like new with half a mile on the odometer, shrink wrap on the seats, original everything and a wild night with a Parisian supermodel thrown in. And they were at auction where all it takes is two yahoos with more cash than sense having a willie waving contest with auction batons to drive them to mad "values".

    Some bloke reads about that and drags his rusty 25 owner 205 out of a barn in Wicklow, with added chicken poo, that hasn't started since Oasis had their first single and mileage that suggests it followed Neil Armstrong to the moon. And back. He then reckons ah shure they're a classic collectable therefore it must be worth at least 25k. So he details it with a hose and fairy liquid, takes awful pics with his phone, types up an ad in something approaching english, but not quite, fires it up on Donedeal and then can't understand why his phone isn't hopping.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The price of 90s jap performance cars has gone ballistic in the last year. That cars probably worth 10-14 depending on condition.

    And the ads gone.
