Sensible Prices at Top Car Today 8 Mar 2004 (News)
A 21k mile 98R Ferrari 456GT auto (about to be superceded by the 612 Scaglietti) bid to £42,750; a 45k mile 95M Ferrari 355 GTS bid to £34,500; a 24k mile 2000W Lotus Esprit 3.5 V8 bid to £23,000; a RHD 43k mile Porsche 911 996 Carrera S Tiptronic bid to £27,750; a LHD 47k mile 1999S 911 996 Carrera 2 cabrio with hard-top bid to just £24,000; but the 39k mile 02 reg Lexus SC430 in the photo made a bit more than I expected at a top bid of £36,400. Most expensive car of the day was a silver 18k mile 2002/52 reg Jaguar XKR 4.2 convertible with 20” wheels, sold for £45,750 which is a saving of £30,000 on the new price. -

Plenty of Pickings at Auction Today 13 Aug 2003 (News)
A sweet 15k mile 2001Y new shape BMW Compact 316i 1.8 in the right metallic orange sold for £12,050. A lovely gold 5k mile 02 reg Lexus IS200 SE was someone’s for £15,350. Someone else bagged a 101k mile 95N Micra for £950. And Mondeos were ridiculous. A 98R 2.0LX went for £825 and a 98R Aspen TD for £1,000 (didn’t catch the mileages). -

Rush to Buy Sends Auction Prices Soaring 6 Jul 2001 (News)
While a small engined 79,000 mile 98R BMW 728i sold for £12,400, a 36,000 mile 98R XJ8 3.2 couldn't get past £12,400, and the 106,000 mile 97P BMW 740i which bid to £12,500 on 8th June couldn't get past £9,900 today. A couple of good buys were a 30,000 mile 99V Lexus IS200 SE which sold for £14,900 and a 69,000 mile 98R Honda Shuttle 2.3LS which went for £7,700 (compared to £6,600 for a 107,000 mile 98R last week). Lowest bids of the day were just £1,500 for a 73,000 mile Daewoo Lanos 1.6SX, and £1,750 which actually bought a 116,000 mile 97P, 97 model year Mondeo 1.6iLX. -
Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 20-6-2015 20 Jun 2015 (News)
Incidentally, what do you think of the Mazda autobox (the one I drove was a manual)? What is your view of the Lexus as well as the Q3 1.4? How about petrol v/s diesel (I love driving my diesel car as it has so much poke). As noted the SUV is one option. I was thinking of a cabriolet but think it would be too impractical. -

Qashqais Now Price Range at Auction 24 Aug 2012 (News)
An 09 Golf 1.6TDI 105 SE with 94k miles sold for £6,950, which was a bit odd considering that a 2009/59 1.6TDI 105 S with 42k miles later sold for £7,550. While a rare 51k mile 07 reg Lexus GS450h sold for £8,500, which was actually bang on book for a nice car in a nice colour with what looked like original paint. Interestingly, when faced with an otherwise desirable 09 reg Audi A4 B8 2.0TDI SE, but with 138,000 miles and only 6 ‘Lifetime’ service stamps, the trade was only prepared to stump up a mere £6,500s. -

Mixed Messages, But Some Auction Prices Very High Today 13 Feb 2009 (News)
Plenty of current shape Passat diesels to choose from today, probably all from the same company fleet. I wonder what they replaced them with? A two and a half year old 16k mile Lexus LS460 made £26,000. A lot of car for the money, but not quite as much at the 96P Mercedes W140 S420 that sold for £1,050. (Current S-Class are dropping £1,000 a month in the book.) -

Bargains Harder at Auction Today 6 Jan 2006 (News)
So someone who knows their market should see a fair profit on their £2,550 paid. The 185k mile 93L Lexus LS400 knocked down for £1,200 before Christmas sold again today for just £925. Can’t tell you why it was back, maybe a knocker, but apparently there’s money to be made in breaking old LS400s. -
