Just seen this on eBay and thought it was a joke-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-Honda...item27f9001c6e

Till I saw the mileage.

Then I saw this and realised what a joke really is-

BTW eBay asking prices are defiantly higher than last year.

I went to buy a 2005 Moonrock GT with 13k miles 2.5 years ago for £10250 but someone beat me to it, prices do seem to be going up

Why do you think it's a joke? I think it's great. If a trader wants to sell a low miler for nearly £16k and a ruined one is £8k it can only be a good thing for us the owners when we come to sell ours. The only people it's a joke for are new prospective owners.

By the way I don't get why so many people fail to spell definitely correctly. It's like half of all primary school teachers made a pact some time ago to teach that word to be spelt incorrectly. Unless you think that the prices being higher on ebay is a move of defiance from the sellers?

I agree, the amount of owners slamming increasing prices or shouting things down for being overpriced when somebody posts a link is nuts. For us it can only be a good thing

The low miler I think is great also, and must be a rarity I didn't notice the mileage till I got up after seeing the price.But the 1999 ruined one for £8k is just taking the urine. Some of us cringe at 18 in wheels, but 19in!!!!

As an aside on prices, the good thing about eBay is you can check and see what the cars actually go for.

Take note guys.

If you wish to sell your S for top bucks, stick a shite body kit on it along with adodgey colour scheme and oversized wheels.

It will be f@#kinh useless for road and track but some council house dweller will pay several years worth of benefits for it.
