Optimistic mk2 valuation

[chris_minall]

My 180 is in the same condition as this one but with only 30.000 miles on the clock,does that mean its worth more. ???.

It's worth what someone will pay mate.

Well I'm out it seems.

Hi Callum.
Thanks for your query.
I suppose it is priced higher than most others because it is a really nice example and I know that it is worth it! It also has the benefit of the recent and expensive cambelt work having been done so that the next owner doesn't have to worry about a large bill for a very long time!
I know that no-one is going to bid on the car without seeing it so the price I am advertising it at should be viewed as my asking price and I will negotiate (a little bit!) after the auction has ended.
There are currently 24 people watching it at the moment so there will be some who are genuinely interested buyers.
Cheers for now.

Seems I'm not a genuinely interested buyer.
Well I'll wait then I'm not parting with £3+ grand can get two for that money.

Good luck to the buyer.

Perhaps a plea to those who are watching from here out of interest to de-watch ?

The response is fair to be honest .... Give him a week or so - then go see it. The thing is - it IS worth that, it's just that we know there are others available cheaper ....

Nice red one appeared on the bay yesterday....05 saloon for £2500 ono and it's got alcantara and belts done. Send him a link to that one.

I did and its closer to me, it's a nice one but I'm a bigger fan of xpg
I've got some time off in two weeks so ill be going for a few looks at some.
It is worth that in a strong market. But prices are sadly very low for them.

I have to admit I'm a serial watcher as I like to get a feel for their going rates but in this case it bumps up the sellers confidence in their item.

I bid him good luck with the sale. Told him again i was interested and asked if he didn't get any further with the sale to keep me in mind.

I paid £2.600 for mine about 6 months ago i have seen them go for less but i am happy with it and dont regret not waiting for a cheaper one. The cheaper ones all seem to have lots of miles on them.

[Skillen]

To be fair that's an alright price I didn't want to pay more than £2500 and I don't think I will.
The mileage is a huge bonus but similar quality can be had for less.
I'll just have to wait and see. One will come

Now saying:- Starting bid:£3,349.00

Keep watching may come down to your price.

Maybe in a couple months.
He messaged me saying he wouldn't let it go for less than £3k.
I'm interested to see what it sells for now.

Think most people would rather spend £2k-£2.5k on one and get the £500 belt job themselves, than pay £3.5k for one with belts done....

Theres gotta be something special or unique about that car for it to be worth over £3,000. Its only a tarted up Rover 45 after all...
