Car values
« on: 10 December 2022, 01:00:38 PM »
Just doing the annual insurance comparisons ahead of the renewal. I normally use Moneysupermarket and Gocompare, but I thought I'd try Uswitch as well. I entered the reg and they they pre-fill in some sections, like the car ID, derivative, engine etc, and then also a market value.

Imagine my surprise to see that a 2006 9-3 Aero 210bhp I paid £1250 for 5 years ago, the quoted value according to this website is now £2595!!!!

I doubt I'd ever get that without some considerable overhauling and renovation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or could I?!!  :o

The price of secondhand cars has been rising for a while, I don't think it's unbelievable. There was a time when the youngest 9000 was about 12 years old when the price of a 9000 went up stupid high as people wanted them. I sold my £650 9000 Anniversary which I'd had for 2 or 3 years for £1750... I only paid £750 for the 9-5 estate I'd replaced the 9000 with!
