It sounds ludicrous but when you think about it very plausible. I'm in Manchester (UK) and any city centre parking space for the last 3 or 4 years has been 25000. When you take into account exactly what sort of place Knightsbridge is, and with what sort of people live there its perfectly imaginable.
People are actually finding it a better investment at the moment to buy parking spaces then property at the moment, there's usually only a finite amount of parking spaces combined with people generally wanting more than one car.

That price might just be a bargain. Knightsbridge in London has amongst the highest square foot prices in the world. Parking is very limited and most of those in Knightsbridge have mega-pounds to spend. Add to it the insane cost of parking in and driving in London, and it will easily be sold.
Consider this, a 3 Bedroom Apartment goes for 3.4 Million Pounds (or $6.34 Million), it's a pretty good deal.

Welcome to living in a major city. While London is more expensive than Boston for most things the record for a single parking space here is $200,000. Spaces have been going for >$150k in the most deirable garages on Beacon Hill for a few years now.

price.

HOLY COW!!! Man am I glad I live in Oklahoma where I park my car for free in my driveway in front of my 3 bedroom house!! I just cant imagine this.. But being a small town girl, how could I? 150k would be like an amazing house to me!!! not to mention 6mill!! You people MUST be nuts.. Come on, there are more important things in life than money and space... A better investment would be to put that money into a charity instead of flaunting by buying a parking space for your BMW... Live normal, live happy... Give to those that need and stop the greed!! :)

I agree with Rebecca from Oklahoma, that kind of money for a parking space only is foolish! Get real people, don't flaunt the money, help the needy and live life as it was meant to be lived instead of by greed.

You people amaze me. I live in a small town in Va, But grew up in Fairfax. 20 min from D.C. Atleast back then. I can't imagine paying for a parking space. I just got over the fact that I have to pay a quarter to put air in my tire. I'm not considered poor, we give to a lot of charity. Maybe not as much as we could, but you always want to put some back just incase. I wouldn't live some where that I have to pay to park in! Unreal!!!

I'm sure Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld give plenty to charity, so is it so wrong for them to buy convenience if they can afford to? I wouldn't consider their investment of a parking space to be something of status but just to make their lives a little easier if they are interested in owning or travel to the area on a regular basis. I say they should go for it!

Only $ 40.00 day, a steal when you consider that you
may get very lucky in Knightsbridge and meet a billionaire and never worry about parking again !
And there are great shops and food 2. Inflation
means everything costs more, parking also ! When in
Knightsbridge always look your best.

Listen guys, when you?re making $50K or 27K/year you cannot fathom paying $150K for a parking space. Now let?s turn it. Say you?re making $5Mil or 2.7Mil/year. Your whole way of thinking is different; you can afford a $10Mil house, a $200K car and a $800K boat. Remember, to these people time is money; they make more in 20 minutes working than the time it would take them to get to their car if it was parked elsewhere. They need the conveniences of having there car very near to where they have to go and safe. I am sure they donate a lot of money, but remember that is also capped by your tax accountants. Just imagine if you where bringing a gross monthly income of $416K or $208K/biweekly. What is $150K for a little convenience and protection for the investment on your car?

I have read, and believe, that one way to insure staying poor is to resent others having more than you do. If it makes you feel any better, just remember that we all take the same material things with us when we go: nothing!

I offer the same advice I gave my freind who told me he was paying 750,000 for right to rent a one bedroom appartment in New York. Take $5,000. to move to someplace with sane prices invest the balance and retire, or at least work a lot less hours and telecomute. When people stop paying foolish prices for apartments and parking spaces the prices will come down. Same goes for real estate prices.

How sad. We have helpless children who are homeless and starving all over the world, but we can buy a PARKING SPOT?? Seems like the world needs some priority changes...

To all of you poorer people out there here's a tip: stop your b*tching and whinning and go try to find yourself some money! Just because you're not successful, smart, or have any kind of ability whatsoever has made you actually believe that money really doesn't matter and can't make you happy. Now I'm not saying that money is everything by any means, there are SO many more things to life, but it is SO nice to have the money, and when you have it, you will also see that there are alot of doors out there that will open to you. So what, I've worked hard, been very successful and now I thoroughly enjoy driving my BMW, would I pay $150,000 for a parking space? Probably not, but it's ridiculous to say that no one should buy these spots, and to the small town HICK from Oklahoma, $150,000 isn't that much money in the scheme of things, and I feel sorry for you that you can't even fathom a $150,000 house.

Exuse me "Jizzle".... it's very nice of you to point out that you make a lot of money, however I'm quite sure no one on here gives a f***. There's nothing wrong with someone not having tons of money like yourself, maybe they're working their way up trying to get there. The fact that someone can't "fathom" a $150,000 house is not the point. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself, because you're most likely the only one that cares about them. Go drive your BMW off a cliff.

I am sooo tired of folks complaining about what others do with THEIR money. Why is it that a lot of poor people always just expect hand outs, if you want to have money WORK for it, gamble for it or steal it but don't complain about what others do with theirs or pass judgment on them for not addressing all the horrors in the world. I believe in helping others less fortunate than I am but come on, enough is enough stop expecting the "rich" to just give their money away for starving kids or whatever.
I say if you want something be it a House,Yacht, or even a damn Parking Space and can afford it then buy it, if you can't then stop being jealous of others and work harder.
