Hayden why are you posting on a zed forum ripping into zed prices? Think you may have to pick your crowd better.
As a somewhat relevant aside, someone is not a wanker simply because they want a lot of money for their car. Documented sale prices have proven values are higher than what they were so to deny that is just burying your head in the sand. Prices changes and time moves on. A cheap zed used to be $1000.. then it was $5k. Now a cheap zed is $30k. Sale prices are not made up, they are a result of people making informed decisions with their cold hard earned cash.
I'd suggest you jump on the ET pulsar forum if you are just going to rip into owners on this forum because you can no longer afford one.
Ps. A Mustang is faster, newer, has better tech, even bluetooth, nice cold AC and lovely powerful V8 - but none of those are reasons why you buy a zed.
