Lets not help push values down by suggesting that a car is overpriced. Lesser condition cars are priced accordingly, thats been highlighted in another thread.

Good luck with the sale Adam. Im sure you'll get what you want for it.

I agree. A car that's beeen maintained as well as Adam's deserves to command a higher asking price. However, Adam referred to others going on Ebay for £3K. All I'm saying is that I haven't seen any ... that's all.

WHY¬?!

Told to accept ...... Surely we don't sell for what we are told to accept, but what a buyer is prepared to pay, and we are happy to take.

Genuinely Adam, I hope you get good a good price for your car.

Nice car, sounded good on the Rolling Road, as Adam says, unmarked.

this is an over priced one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-MG-ZS-2-5...3A6%7C294%3A50

£3000, older with similar miles

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-53-MG-ZS-...3A6%7C294%3A50

£3000, identical car, 3 years older and more than double the miles.


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-MG-ZS-2-5...3A6%7C294%3A50

£4000 same year, although over price, similar miles

a car dealer said to me a while ago that used car prices will go up, as people cant afford o buy new, i think he might well be right.

They are all Arthur Daley dealer cars....

This rare coloured Mk 1 is on autotrader for £3K. Wonder how much it'll go to tonight ? I reckon no more than £1700. Private seller.

We should all try to drive the average price back up! our cars will be collectables one day. There rare enough now as it is. I completey agree with martyzs the more people start to pay for them the better it will be for us in the long run!

Adam the car looks mint wish i had the money that would be a nice replacement for my 180 hatch. Good look with the sale mate.

Fair point well made .... however .... The "wish I had the money" bit is exactly why the prices are where they are.

Now that I'm an owner though, having bought martyzs's old one, for what I believe to be a bargain, I'd love to see prices go sky high !!!
