A few things,

There is a car in the classifieds right now that has doctored pics to the point the real color does not show up. The only reason to doctor pics is to make it look better than it is. While this car might be really good, doctored pics make it suspect.

As for overpricing, if cars are advertised overpriced, others look at the "market" and price theirs accordingly. The problem is they may never come to a realistic value or the car will sit, seller forget about the realistic offer they got then sell it for scrap getting half of what someone offered. See below how a overvalued market can be generated by a few outrageously high priced ads.

I'd be asking sellers the very specific question. " If I walk up to the car right now and turn the key, will it run and drive without any assistance?"

" Billy Beer really came to the forefront as a collectible in the early 1980s when a man took out ads in a Chicago newspaper offering unopened Billy Beer six-packs for sale. The price: $1,000. ( $ 2,800 today ) The fast-buck entrepreneur then ran additional ads, offering his six-packs for the "bargain rate" of only $200. ( $ 560 today ) That apparently opened the floodgates, as offers for Billy Beer saturated newspapers and collectible publications, with everyone and their brother hell-bent on cashing in on their Billy Beer cans at some outrageous price.
