Justify this price.

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Chevrolet Matiz can be configured to £39.99 I believe. At least that's what they feel like they're worth, assuming the tank is more than half full and there's air in the tyres.
All of this makes the spending of £750 on a virtually perfect, bright red Nissan Micra (K10) - with CVT transmission and genuine 14,000 miles since new - seem much more sensible. 8-)

You know that you want a march much more than you want a boring K10 ;)

This is what I've been saying for years, there is no justification in the price of stuff like that, its just because people can afford it.

My friend and his parents are revamping a house in London, its cost so far, £750,000. That includes a £3000 shower head and a £7000 toilet brush.

"What does a £7000 toilet brush do?!" I asked. He replied by telling me its a status thing; what it says is that his parents have £7000 to waste on a toilet brush.

Seriously?!?!?! Mine cost 99p. £6999.01 wasted. That would have bought quite a nice car! I don't think I would have spent that much even if I had won euro millions. It's amazing what the top 0.25% of the population chose to spend their money on.
