I remember the time you could buy a perfect example for 500-700 pounds.
The cheap 240 you ll find they will all need some work. |
Its all relative though, isn't it, 'mentepazza'?
We owned 4 one series cars in period, the average cost was £612. Today, we would probably need to pay £3 - 4 k for a comparable car. We also had 5 two series, costing on average £1385 each, now a similar car would also cost upwards of £4 k. We paid an average of £1460 for each of our 5 seven series, today you would probably only need to pay a similar amount for a like car, although values do at last appear to be rising. Likewise my 944, which cost £1295 when I bought it at 10 years old, would probably cost about the same today.
Bargains are still to be had though. In August 2016, I bought a reasonable 2000 V70 from a dealer for just £550 - practically valueless! I wonder what that might be worth in 20 years time?
