100k miler £6k tops in my opinion and that seems to be what they go up for and sell for.

The problem with the FRS since I've been looking is people still have them when they paid £10k+ and thought they wouldn't drop much due to the RS badge.

I've been offered a 50k car for £6,800..... lots of dreamers out there price wise.
i agree, i picked my car up for just under 9k 4 years ago as it had 90k on it (only 1 owner), at the time most were going for £12-13k for a nice one.

now mine has done 110k i reckon its worth about £6.k (has a few nice mods)

there are people out that still expect almost £10k for a 40-50k mile car and they will never get it.

the people that want to buy them want them cheap, the sellers think they are worth more and they end up meeting in the middle.

a cracking car and i think values will rise in 5-10 years for really nice ones. but they just arent worth that much at the moment.
