Just noticed a Fiat 500 1.2 Sport at The Car People (supposedly a Car Supermarket) 58 plate with 7000 miles on the clock at £9999.
List price new to my knowledge is only £9700, how have they got the nerve ?
I'd rather wait and buy new,which I do not usually do or advocate.
Seems in general used prices are just plain daft even if it is a sought after car.
 
List is £9900. It's probably got some options on it but unless it's got a gold plated engine bay it aint worth 9999 by a long shot.

Does not appear to have extras from the photos(apart from metallic paint) and none are listed in the description.Noticed most prices seem a rip off (Probably trying to emulate when the Mini first came out) but still a disgrace for a 12 month car with 7k miles on the clock.

Because you can have it now. And some people pay a premium for that. Evidently enough people to list it that way.
 
Dealer will only list a car at a price he thinks he can get for it.
But as proven so often you cannot please all the people all the time. How many other people have moaned that the 500 will depreciate like a brick. Then when it seems the depreciation isn't as bad as people think that's a problem too.

I ****ing love society. :ROFLMAO:

Of course :) But it's still a ripoff when you can get a new car for the same or less. Unless of course you're the sort who has ants in their pants and can't wait.

Of course value for money is a very personal thing, personally I wouldn't pay full price for a 500 and only got one because of scrappage.
