They're getting more expensive HERE I can see why they are asking the price for the low mileage but not a colour I could live with 😕 Bob, looking at the rear of the rear seats, I think the motor was only used to transport dogs. It's a shame as the rest of the vehicle looks pretty well perfect. |

Thread here www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1469767You will have to thumb through many pages but there is a link to a 3 door which was being sold by the company some of you use. They are not having a pop at the company it’s the cost of the car. The thread is titled “Seriously overpriced cars “ |

Okay 👍🏻..Lost interest after the first 4 pages, clearly they are just having a pop at all modern and classic car prices in general.

If folk keep paying the inflated prices that's how they'll stay.

That’s the thread title. Pistonheads is actually a really good website for car enthusiasts. I’ve been a member since circa 2000. The only thing is it’s hard to keep up with the fast pace of traffic which means threads move at lightning pace. The general gassing section has over 7.5 million posts. Quite a few other sections have 1 million and more... |

If folk keep paying the inflated prices that's how they'll stay. Exactly.... But as discussed elsewhere there are other marques including the MX5 that are going bonkers in price but I wouldn’t buy one of those or any other car for that matter. Motorcycles are doing the same but for a different reason... Back in 2006 I could buy a Yamaha R1 for 6K. To buy a 2006 R1 today in proper condition is the same 6K.... Some ask even more. For a 14 year old bike. But a new R1 today costs upwards of 16K....... So the demand for the older bikes has risen cos very few can afford 16K for a new one. Utterly mad in my opinion but there it is.. |

For a 14 year old bike. But a new R1 today costs upwards of 16K....... So the demand for the older bikes has risen cos very few can afford 16K for a new one. Utterly mad in my opinion but there it is.. £16K for a new R1 is a bargain compared to £20K for a new 'Blade.  The price of anything is determined by what someone is prepared to pay for it. If you wanted a 4XV R1 in great condition you'd pay anything up to £15K for one; the dearest 4XV in MCN today is £10.5K. That's for a 23 year-old bike and more than twice its price new. But someone will pay it and be pleased with it. That's the thing, Charlie, people will pay for what they enjoy; there are folk who will happily take out loans to fund their 3 or 4 overseas holidays or cruises per year because that gives them pleasure. To you or me that sounds crazy but to them it's their hobby, if you like. People buy old cars or watches or whatever because that is their particular passion; I've got more watches than I need or can wear at one time but I love each one of them; does that make me bonkers? Maybe. Would I have kept our 3-dr RAV if we'd had the space for it? Yes, most likely I would have. You have got, what, 3 cars? Two are because you are a petrolhead and those 2 give you a buzz. Your money, your choice. Jay Leno's garage is worth millions and includes cars that don't have any particular investment or classic/vintage value but that he just likes for their own sake. Should he get rid of them because someone else thinks that he is nuts to have paid for them? Everybody's different but how they choose to spend their money is up to them. Have a look at Classic Cars magazine to see what some people are prepared to pay for stuff that wouldn't appeal to all of us.  |

Google "westcountryvaluecarsdevon.co.uk pistonheads" www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1469767&i=7700so, on page 386 at least. With respect to the prices quoted a few posts above. While there's absolutely no doubt it's a huge amount of "non-depreciation" compared with normal vehicle depreciation levels: £10.5k now would be equivalent to about £5.7k 23 years ago. £6k now would be equivalent to about £4.1k in 2006. |

As a member you have the choice of ascending or decending post order. That makes things damn awkward. Anyway I recently changed the order of how the posts appear to me which confused the matter even more. Posts on PH can rock on for years. I hadn’t if I’m honest realised how old that topic was. But Andy has sorted it now . Cheers Andy 👍👍👍👍 I spent blooming ages trying to find that page. |
