    Damn. Sounds like a case of delusional owners :p I once saw a Citroen BX being sold for 25,000 euros. They are worth 500-2000 for a normal model, and 1500-5000 for GTI models. The exception of around 7000-10000 is made for the ultra rare Sport models, but those come up for sale once every decade :p

    Mercedes G65 for about about $225,000 you could get a car that feels like a 1970's offroad vehicle.

    A bit expensive for an Crown Majesta, maybe... a bit overpriced?
    There's plenty that are cheaper than this one. There's even another one in the same generation that has a lower price than the car linked here.
    ...or you can just get an regular Crown for sale which also have cheaper prices.

    If so, here's one more story of a more than delusional ad I saw a couple of years ago:rolleyes:.
    It was a Lada 2105 from around 1985. The seller asked 25 000€ for it. He claimed the car was in 100% original condition since it has never been repaired.
    The photos in the ad were clearly digitized film photos, estimated to be from the mid-1990s. However, the car already had severe rust issues as pictured, proving the seller's words about repair. Rust spots were covering almost all body panels, with large areas of surface rust and even smaller holes on the lower parts of the body.
    A piece of paper with a badly composed handwritten ode dedicated to the Lada (mostly consisting of "oh my sweet car" and alike) was also included.
    Was this listing genuine or was it a joke? If genuine, in what condition was the car at the time of offering? Was it ever bought for any price? We will never find out...

    Bugatti Chiron is just a waste of money.

    £150k is nothing special in the performance luxury sector.
