Default 3dr prices being jacked up ?

just seen on pistonheads two 3 doors for 30k


are dealers jacking the prices up ,as their is no significant evidence that they are going up in value that much as the same ones have being on pistonheads for ages for a lot less money

maybe they are just pushing the boundaries ,but i think their prices are about 10 years too early


considering the 500 cant make the 32k for the last few months on piston heads and that has being reduced from 39k

Like I always say you can advertise a car for what ever you like whether you actually get the asking price is a totally different matter.

With regards to the 2wd saff being the best cosworth to drive. I have to agree.

I miss my saff loads. It's been 12 months since I've used it and I can't afford to put it on the road

I agree , the saff i had was such a nice car to drive , the 3 door feels unsafe compared to it .

Recently ive been thinking of leaving the cossie seen and selling the 3 door ? ive done 15 miles this year and hardly seems worth owning it . Im liking 911s at the moment and found one on pistonheads for 14k and its a minter

Think it's just people trying thre luck they see the prices creeping up them decided to try and put there warn out old thing in the same league as some of the mint ones end of the day there coming up to 25years old classics and if its got a cosworth badge at the end of it the gonna get even more expensive that's just my opinion ��
