Price on anything it what someone is prepared to pay at the time im afraid. Many people can come up with price figures and be near enough spot on, way over or worse still way under.
But mileage, body condition, interior condition, manual/auto, colour, service records and parts bills can all pay a valued price in adding or retracting to the resale value. Id start by letting us know more info on your car, better still some pictures too to make things easier and less a stab in the dark. |

As 'stegreg' says, there are many variables that impact on price. In addition, condition not withstanding, estates are generally considered more desirable than saloons and may thus command a higher value. £ for £, they are certainly usually much easier to sell. The 2.3 litre engined cars are preferred by some to the 2.0 variants; while Turbos may justify a premium to some, others may prefer an automatic to a manual car, or vice versa. Since any of these factors, and many more besides, can have a bearing on the value of a particular car, I would endorse the advice that 'stegreg' offers. Regards, John.

740 values
740 values are possibly where 240 values were a few years ago. Back then less than £1000 would buy you a very creditable 240 GLT, now a good one will command 5 or 6 times that.
The 240 seems to have achieved classic status. If the 740 goes the same way (and why would it not?) then buying one now, or looking after the one you've got would be a wise move. 850R models are already commanding very high asking prices, and I'd guess that in a couple of years time phase 1 C70s and S70s will also be appreciating. Last year I paid £2500 for a low-mileage one owner S90. Too much? Well maybe, but it's given me a pretty much trouble free 20,000 miles so far and every reason to believe that it'll last for years to come. If I'd bought say a £10k Focus or Astra instead I'd already have lost at least half that in depreciation. No, I reckon that good 7-, 8-, 9- and P1 70-series cars are a good bet right now on two counts. One you'll have an excellent everyday car, secondly, it could very well become an appreciating asset over the next few years. Jack |

760
The 760 on car and classics is mine. It is a very rare 1984 760. It has been professionally restored and has had a comprehensive refurb. I am asking a high price because of its rarity and very good condition.
Good condition 740' s are getting rare now. There are plenty of rough ones for less than £600 knocking about. Then a huge gap to the nice ones.
