Try looking at the price of fuel fella and that might give you an idea, I just bought a 2006 Hawkeye STi with a good few mods amounting to around £3,000, it has a FSSH, just had the cam belt service done, not a mark on it and fully HPi clear, bought from a main Alfa dealership with a years parts and labour warranty for under £10k.

All I can say - it's a buyers market out there and it only gonna get tougher. Mind you in saying that i can see the price of a barrrel of oil coming down over the next 6-9 months - so you never know!!!!

Cheers

to be honest i think alot of cars are becoming hard to sell all people want to do just now is swap which is no good if you need the cash ofcourse and certainly insurance premiums aint helping concidering they've risen on average of about 30% rediculious

Its petrol, tax and insurance prices guys. Thats why I bought a Lotus.

Insurance less than half price including trackday cover, double the mpg and bombproof residuals add up to a lot of money over the course of a year.

I worked out that the car was free based on saving on petrol alone.

Not all cars are hard to sell, I had a queue. I sold the Exige in 2 weeks for more than I paid for it, after 2 years ownership its a no brainer.

Do miss my Subaru but it got to the stage I was taking the wifes car to save money

I should imagine a lot of the Classic are starting to show their age now too, at 96 the car is nearly 16 years old which would put me off I'm afraid.

Ive got a late 2001 classic paid a bomb for it and it was valued at 3095 top money and 2500 bottom

I'll be selling mine soon but I'll only be looking for just over the 1k Mark someone surely would part with that for it!!
