Another one riding the cressi hype train.
Acting like he really cares about heritage, and doesn't even know that's a 2.0 litre (21R), not the 2.4 (22R).
Also there's no such thing as a GLE-6.
 
These prices are purely based on the willing buyer willing seller principle.

Fueled further by Bring a Trailer Prices and Gas Monkey Garage type TV series.

You think these prices are bad, try finding a Skyline R34 GTR for under a million or Mk4 Supra for under half a bar.

If that Cressida Sells for R1.1m, I'm advertising my Mk3 Supra for R2.2m :laugh:

let me ask this question, what car can you buy now, use and eventually sell for a big premium?

Im thinking GR yaris, as its a Toyota and small and useable everyday, not a SUV,
and wont strand you by the side of the road, and is still exciting now as in 20 years.

I don't think any modern car will still be operating in 20 years time. There's just too much electronic junk, and parts will become very hard to find...

My guess is these people value them based on their own perceived sentimental value or something. One car might not be worth R150K to 99.9% of people but might be in your view.

Like my late father used to say. Some peoples idea of "excellent condition" and the prices they want for cars that were mediocre in their day is far removed from reality.

Have you ever been scolded for asking if a car is still available?

I've once had a guy call me when I enquired about a car that was listed for sale, and then he went to great lengths to explain to me that it is sold.

As in, I messaged him asking if it's available and asked for his number, he then sent it to me, I called him but he didn't pick up, then he called me back all excited only to tell me it has been sold.

Like, if you know it's sold, why bother?

The poster sounds very annoyed, like the type you shouldn't even try to make small talk with.

I think they come with a bit of an attitude because they know they will be told that their prices are optimistic. I mean, 80K for this vehicle? No.

I find it very odd since the selling and buying of stuff is all about haggling about the price and finding a common ground to conclude a sale, or shaking hands and going your separate ways.

Unless one party is very desperate for a sale, hence treating all potential buyers who end up not buying as time wasters. That theory goes some way in explaining this guy's mood. I wonder what are you supposed to do when you meet him? Just greet and hand him the R80k, no questions asked? Are you even allowed to greet?
