50pence hth

[JG]

better than i thought

[speedster]

14k for the SC 18k for the turbo and 23k for an na.

[CocoPops]

I'll be round to collect it later then.

Bang on the 16500 asking price for the red tubby I've got. Have sold the silver one twice at full asking price but hasnt worked out yet. The na I have at 11500 has some serious interest also at the moment. Three very exceptional cars but shows what is possible for the right cars.

    Question do you think colour makes a difference to a sale? Just curious. As Moonstone  Grey seems to be unpopular?

Undoubtedly it makes a difference I would have thought moonland would be one of the more popular ones though. Bright colours are really in at the moment. Yellow got the biggest reaction last year for me all the yellow cars I had we could have sold over again.

Too many miles James. 50k is considered to be round the Galaxy and back

Thanks for reply. I sold a Yellow one a couple years ago as you say vast response. Sold my Black one last year much the same but I was curious. I am not too keen on the Silver that they do. Red good also. Thanks again.

I do keep toying with the idea of selling my (very) tidy 30k miles turbo. Buying a roughish NA and self SCing then splurging the 5k I had left over on hookers... No bloody rough NAs though!

[Tony H]

Plenty of rough hookers though up stoke way. I'd imagine.

I bought mine with very low miles 4 years ago but no doubt if/when I do decide to sella a it will be in the high mileage zone as I don't plan on selling for the foreseeable future. Will be interesting what it would be worth as nearly all the parts have just about been replaced for new and plan on keeping it in tip top condition

I have a '72 MG Midget.  It has done 95k and doesn't seem to be affecting the value at all.  Slightly different though I guess as the engines need complete rebuilds every 25k miles

[TubbyNorman]

As already stated, supply and demand, and eventually higher mileages will have to be accepted for good ones, also a car that has been used will probably be in better condition than one that has been SORN'd for X years, they are probably the ropier older cat C' & D's.

 

Cue outrage, but newer better condition cars will always outsell at the higher end of the market. Glad to see the cars being enthused about, but now I'm in a 987 S and my back is already recovering.

Miles will matter less and less as more are crashed and lost to Europe, people will be happy just to get hold of a manual car with hydraulic steering and no mention of the word hybrid. Lower the better obviously but the floor of what constitutes low mile will change. I remember when looking for my old corrado vr6 the "mint" ones were sub 40k, when I bought my second one about 6 years on anything under 80k was considered low, and an 80k car today is worth more than the 40k car of 2004. Look at 911 prices, miles don't matter having one in a good colour and manual box is all that counts. I've said before the engine is regularly seen in vectras doing 250k or more and all the suspension stuff can be refreshed.

Noticing some cheeky prices going on PH....

Noticing some cheeky prices going on PH....

Much interest in your fleet JB? I know you said you had some initial murmurings....

[jonnyboy]

The usual lots of interest sold and backed out of (twice on the silver one!) Always 3rd time lucky with VX for some reason. Bit quiet this month but we've had a great winter so not complaining.

[mbes2]

Only 2 under 10k now on PH... 

[Zoobeef]

Looking good for my £4800 VX haha. Might actuall have to start looking at sorting the exterior into reasonable shape.

Noble prices have gone up steadily since i bought it too. £7-8k more than i paid now.
