Might well be the most bizarre one.

Who'd pay 17k for a LHD imported from Asia?! Especially when you get one from Germany. Baffling.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

yes i think bizarre is a better description, even stranger is they drive on the left there as well. I think they buy right hand drive cars almost as a status symbol.

"Road Tax £230/12 months"

I pay £290 (which is still pretty good for a 4.2l) Unless imports are rated differently..?

What are honest ones actually worth now? And by that, not what are they advertised for, but what are they selling at?
eBay "sold" listings say not a lot?

£6k to £9k seems to be ballpark for the C5. Once you've filtered out the "son-hacked-my eBay-account-so-I'm-not-paying-for-it" brigade I doubt many are actually being bought at this price level as most see the true cost of running them and bail out. Just leaves the enthusiasts prepared to drop some serious money on fixing the inevitable stuff...
