How many - 2005 55 Plate 3.0i

[Gwest44]

I understand you pretty much couldn’t order a 3 0i for months prior to the facelift car in March 2006 (apparently due to emissions legislation), so from mid-2005 onwards there are hardly any cars, and even fewer 55 plate (Sep05-Feb06) ones.

So my question is does anyone have a 55 plate 3.0i as I'm curious to establish how many are on the forum?

Found 3 on auto trader.

Age doesn't matter now they are 2 decades old so even if they are rare it won't affect their value at all.

Thanks for the reply but maybe you didn't read the question or I can't use the Autotrader search function correctly - i could only find one 55 plate 3.0i and that's marked as sold.

Either way I am just interested to establish how many are on the forum.

As for value seeing as you mentioned it - although it wasn't something I was looking to establish I would have to challenge your point. In my experience the age and rareity of a vehicle do have a positive impact on value obviously along with a number of other factors such as maintenance and condition.

Live in a separate market but on the same forum still . I have a 08/2005 produced 3.0i, registered in 10/2005. Intact whippy and all.

I have a rare can of baked beans that was manufactured during covid where they hardly made any baked beans. Want to pay £15 for it?

The problem you have is it's not a M therefore it's not a rare or special enough car to demand a premium, just like how my baked beans aren't special or rare enough.

Would you take £12 posted?

Definitely on toast with brown sauce and a knob of butter

Back in the day all the owners of the last limited edition Capri, the 280 'Brooklands' thought it meant something if there's was on an E-plate instead of a D. In fact I even saw one on an F-plate.
However, they were all manufactured between the 1st and the 19th December 1986. So the late plate ones just sat in a muddy field for longer before they sold.
I think you should focus more on build date tbh.
