Phase 2 on 3k Miles £22k

[Ali]

Agree with Chris's comment above!

I am with Chris too on his comments and about ID colours ... for me there IS a difference between unique/different and desirable and that is where I sit on some ID colours ... to me they are special but not desirable so I wouldn't pay anymore unless I was an investor who thought they were worth a premium ... that can be said for any colour though - for example I cannot for the life of me see why people buy copper or champagne coloured cars :rofl: and many won't touch black cars, yet I love em ...

I also turned my nose up at a desirable low mileage one owner S3 before I bought my current one - one of the main reasons being something as simple as the fact that the second key and spare master key had been lost - this indicated to me some ownership apathy which put me off ... so I am sure we have widely different selection criteria and ultra low milage certainly isn't the be-all and end-all ...

Down to £18,995 so soon!?!?!?!? [smilie=icon_eek.gif]
Surely if he is in that much of a hurry to shift it then this should have been his starting price?
Now it just makes you wonder how quickly he needs to sell??

Steve,

Put yours up for £32k

It will make £20k cars seems cheap and they'll get snapped up!

Do it for the good of the community

Ive thought this many a time, all it will take is a small amount of people to advertise at a high price then people will start to get the impression thats the going price.

How much were the V6 brand new?

 

[Williams]

Starting price for the 255 was a smidge under £27k

 

[Austin-182]

How many were made? Ph1 and ph2?

I have been offered 26k for my Blue! Although it's not for sale, the money is out there!!

That's understandable, I mean if a new Clio v6 were made now, it would probably retail at around the £35k mark..

With yours they are getting a brand new v6 albeit without warranty, for £26k

 

[CraigV6]

Offered and sold for are quite often two very different numbers.

I agree that the money is out there for the right car and as crazy as it sounds a collector will find a car with 80 miles on the clock infinitely more collectable than one with 3-4k miles. Im sure they would be willing to pay a premium for such a low mileage example (after all if it's going in a collection then they are probably not short of a bob or two).

I want to sell mine for £32k but because it's sh&t Titanium, the worst colour in the world, it's only worth 10p

Intreresting to see that the debate is still raging on............

I believe the Clio V6 has got quite a way to go before it will be acknowledged as a classic - it is more than likely to get there but not just yet. When it does, the big players will move in, and (collectable) Vees will be sought after. When this happens what people think about their value will become rather irrevalent as those seeking such cars will dictate the marque's value (i.e. the floor). I would give the Phase 2's at least another 5-7 years, or even a bit more (10).

However, in the meantime keeping values up will only help...........

Lol, I say it how it is - ....... no point in kidding yourself what something is worth-

is it a 22k car- difficult to guage- as the mileage is uber low, however if I really wanted to put that car under the spotlight, no mention in the ad of the service history & no mention of the belt change-

Its also 3 owners- so is it a classic, appreciating car like the owner says.... probably not- The mileage is good, but possibly not low enough to go into the 'classic' box- it needs to be sub 1k miles-

On its day maybe 20k depending on history- if its all up to scratch, however the reality is its illiad blue, 3 owners, ONLY a 2004-

19k......

This car is sold on the ad at 18995

^^^^^
I guess 18750 private or it may have been traded-
