I am posting this in this forum as the Classics one seems very quiet but if a moderator feels it appropriate to move it I have no objections. The classic press make much of increasing values, particularly prestige makes and Fords, but I am now starting to think that, for mainstream cars, this really only applies to concours or very low mileage cars in exceptional condition. Having too many projects I decided some months ago that I should reduce my hoard and tried selling two cars. The first attracted only one person who I subsequently decided was just a “car spotter” looking to add limited editions to his notebook. I have now decided to keep the car in the short/medium term. The second, though, is a Mk II Escort which does need quite a bit of bodywork. So far one derisory offer and another person who said I had undervalued it but that it was not for him. How do you value a classic? I used a forum and a club to set values. Obviously Ebay is an option but it is not a medium I like...
