Hi Matt, that’s the how long is a bit of string question
You’ve probably covered both ends of the spectrum there, sheds at high £££’s because people bought high and are trying to recover their outlay and people who are selling really nice cars at what’s classed bottom end of the price range. They’re realistic sellers, who maybe paid less for their cars 2/3 yrs ago or recognise impending work/maintenance, and are maybe happy to cover their costs and these cars are selling reasonably quickly.
I see cars advertised and I think “no f***ing chance” and some actually sell. But these ones are more likely to sell/be advertised off forum.
An example is that when I first started looking nearly 3 yrs ago I looked at an 04 3.0 auto, 47k fsh and it was circa £4K sought advice on here and was told it was top heavy priced, which at the time it was getting there, probably worth £3k-£3,250. Same company have one very similar for sale just now 53 plate 58k and I hope you’re sitting down, £7,695.
I’m currently keeping my eye on an 04 75k fsh 3.0 at a price I think is a bargain. Not going to lie, would be bought solely to trade and make a profit but 2 things, it’s been for a sale for a while (spoken to the seller twice, just no interest) and I think I can make a profit, but………. There’s lots of nice cars sitting unsold so don’t want to be stuck with it over winter so I’ve done nothing, yet………
I noticed a car was linked to you yesterday, I had a nosey, lovely looking car and well maintained initial thoughts were nice car, slightly over what I’d personally have thought it’d fetch, and again a but, but in today’s market looks like a good buy. Nice car so commanding a good price that it most likely wouldn’t have 2/3 yrs ago. But being a good example possibility negating some future maintenance costs of a cheaper car looks a good car for the money
All imho, I suppose in answer to your question, I’d be expecting an early reasonably well sorted 3.0 auto to be running me somewhere around £4K with 80-100k ish with the knowledge I may be dropping another £500-£1k for stuff that I may want to do, leading back to the well maintained car mentioned above. Same rough ballpark, so makes that look like a good buy
