The Ford Capri Laser Page

It says in the description "there's a few rust spots on the bodywork". They're not kidding.

Andrew.

Totally understand the price it has a pinto

If that’s a few rusts spots my name is sally and I dress up as a Victorian woman watching my fair lady in the west end .

Belgium man, Belgium

Starting bid now £5000. Still one 0 too many!

If you are the seller, sorry but you are way off on this one imo!

Indeed, this auction is a bit like having my brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.

That's the bugger

The starting bid is £4250 now. On it's way down...

Andrew.

There seems to be a certain type of seller who instead of looking around at comparables, taking advice from people on forums etc enthusiastically sticks their fhead in the sand and advertises their car for a ridiculous amount and often with a poorly worded ad that raises more laughs than interest.

Sadly all too often when they reel from the shock of failing to have invoked any interest they eventually become disheartened and then convince themselves they have something quite unsaleable that they will let go for close to scrap value.
it isnt they have an unsaleable car though, its just they need to apply a bit more thought about the sale price and description.

Now starting at £3500.

Still too much imo

I know this won't be to everyone's tastes but surely the seller of the white GL must see this add for the same price and realise?

That green one is in a different league, looks good value

i think were less rust spots on the rat bastard when I bought it!

Now starting at £2700 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-capri-1 ... Sw27RdO0om

I always think it`s a shame when you see a neglected, beaten up old shed like that. Once somebodies brand new pride and joy, now look at it. I still wouldn`t give `em £270 for it, Christ knows what the underneath`s like.

You seriously have to wonder what the guy (or gal!) actually thinks it's worth though...
It started off at £5750 or whatever it was, now it's been knocked down by £3000 and still no-one is interested... how much lower will it keep getting dropped...? Will it just drop to one price and stay there forever while no-one buys it? If so, why start off so high in the first place when what you'd accept for it is much less??

100% added scene tax!

Andrew.

Probably mentioned it to a guy in the pub who knows everything, and was told Capris are worth a fortune now even if it hasn't got an MOT

It's worth something to someone but only at the right price, and I would put it on a 99p starting bid and take what I could get.

Couldn't agree more - exactly the way I would go with it as well

It's just like... Take a hint mate! No-one wants it!
