Been like it for a while, think people know that I6 is gone, and the 23i is the pick of the bunch at the moment from what I can see.

Sports/ enthusiast cars prices have increased a lot in the past 12 months, particularly in the last 6 months. Z4s seem to be doing really well, i would say the 23i have gone up as much as £2000!!

Good for me as I paid £10k for mine 8 months ago - they are increasing and seeing similar cars to mine now at £12.5k so would probably get back what I paid right now, think they will drop in the next 6 months though :|

Who knows?

I thought car prices would drop towards the end of last year when we were heading back into higher restrictions, but it didn't really happen.

Although prices for convertibles are seasonal, so may drop the nearer we get to the end of the year. If you aren't in a hurry it can be a good time to buy!

The Autotrader sometimes gives value my car option with the selling dealer - mine was £27179 against a £49k used car but I’ve got the Smarttop and BMW Dash cam - I suspect a few more £’ s

With that trade in Ron, I’d expect them to be retailing yours somewhere around £30k ish. I remember when speaking to the dealer about trading mine in and they said they’d expect to make £2500-£3000 at least

Now you just to get Rosemary to tell you what colour you like and you’re good to go :wink:

You’d realise more money from selling the trinkets separately Ron

You would definitely get back what you paid, potentially some money on top! Be interesting to see what happens with prices, they cannot continue going up as they are but, how much will they drop if at all

I think they will drop a little for certain, not certain how much but they will drop - the major issue is a lack of new cars plus more people driving as they don't want to use public transport due to the pandemic.

Never mind the WAG will invest £300m into a system no one wants right now rather than build better roads to ease congestion

Wheels refurbed, new MOT and service done Tuesday, maybe I should be selling :dizzy:

Then the question would be what to replace it with…

I know what I want already just cant afford it right now due to there commitments

Two seater convertibles have been produced in decreasing numbers for more than ten years, so now supply on the used market is decreasing too. Over the next decade we might see a lot of drivers wanting their last ICE car and many enthusiasts will seek something sporty with more than four cylinders and/or a manual gearbox.

We'll still see seasonal ups and downs for convertibles, but all of the above makes me think prices will continue upwards over the coming years.

Before you do anything based on my opinion, it's worth mentioning that I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about and I lose a lot of money on 90% of the cars I buy...

WBAC values seem all over the place especially for the 35’s..

That AY 35is I looked at was WBAC price £13k against my car £14k

Most people do - its only high end investors in hypercars that seem to make money 30 years after they bought the car and sat it in there garage doing nothing :x

That sort of ties in with my response to the AY post Peter where the guy said he wasn’t sure on pricing and I linked 3 recent similar cars all around the £16/£17k mark. IMO the higher end (and possibly a wee bit more) for the rarity of the colour of the AY one. The usual £3kish premium added on after going through WBAC makes that thought process about right

They are a strange bunch and its just a computer with fixed pricing based on miles / servicing / age - they have offered £10250 for mine as I was just looking to see what they offered 8)
