I've been poking about for some car bist, and noticed an e-Bay ad for a 1992 Honda Accord for £1,495.00. Phew!! Why so much?

Is that a 'listed at' or a 'sold at' price?

Good Lord!

Because it's a Honda, I suspect. A lot of people think that's banger money, and of course the scrappage scheme has distorted everything. Be glad when it's over and we can get back to some real bangernomics!

Is that an import? still looks tidy.

HJ's auction report mentions prices 'unusually' settling back a bit for January.

The few used prices I've seen look quite high to me, so I reckon decent secondhand cars are still fetching decent money, and probably more than they were a year or two ago.

I'd love to know at what point does a car's value tip in favour of increasing value rather than decreasing.
I regularly look on a website that sells classic Fords, mostly Mark 2 Cortinas, Granada's (The Sweeney) and the odd Consul or Popular. Mostly the prices are anything from £1500 to £5,000+ and yet 10 or 15 years ago you probably would have paid buttons for an old Cortina.

they can ask mick but do they attain sales?
i think not
i look at these sites and once a cortina/escort goes over $500 i lose interest

I agree BB, there was that Princess listed at £2995 in a previous thread... no way its worth anywhere near that, but the garage thats selling it have had it at that price for at least 12 months that I know of... just waiting for a sucker to come along...

I reckon my car will be worth pretty much what I paid for it when I get 12 months MOT on it. There is a lack of working and fully MOT'ed old cars so people pay silly money for them. The type of person who drives a £1k a car cannot afford to replace a good working car either so they keep them till they go badly wrong. I myself I am not planning of selling my car it does what I want.
A used car dealer me wanted £3500 for a 2002 1.6 Golf it is just madness.
