Yes, that's correct sir. I am quite amused myself but I think for different reasons. Like I said I have looked at four dogs all in the 12-13k segment, where I've driven for hundreds of miles to actually view them, the type where you climb inside and the steering column is lose or something equally worrying, the engines look filthy and the red parts are cracked and corroded, alloys scuffed all the way around the rims, I can go on. My car is really 18k when you remove the one year parts and labour warranty that comes with it, something I consider as peace of mind and not unreasonable. My real point is this though, aside from a new QP GTS or a black Shamal this is my all time favourite car, so for me it's a steal, and it's a keeper as well, so what's the big deal about the odd thousand here or there? Be glad instead that there are true enthusiasts out there and cars still going for this money, what would you rather I get in this range, a fully loaded Corolla, a 320i without aircon perhaps? Tempting I know, but I'd rather go for one of the fastest and most discreet saloons ever made, ABSOLUTELY indistinguishable frome new, with the best badge in the world. If I sound arrogant I can tell you I'm not, just having fun and enjoying all observations, would be nice if there was another Evo fan out there to back me up though he he. This is the last place I'd expect raised eyebrows, but I have gassed on long enough. Comments welcome.
