I’m not convinced the majority sell for the advertised price.

I was with a customer of mine in Southampton yesterday and he is into classic cars and he asked me about a friend of his who has just bought a standard Saff with low miles and he paid Ł16k for it. He wanted to know if that was a fair price. I have'nt seen the car but he must of thought it was worth the money. As we have said it is down to what the buyer thinks is the right money for the right car.

Exactly mate you can put a massive price tag on anything but someone will only pay what they think its worth and thats what makes the rsoc values bollocks

What's considered sensible money these days (genuine question)? For realistic buying/selling I mean?

I've seen some of the valuations by RSOC, for agreed value insurance I'm guessing, but wondering what price these will actually change hands for at the moment.

When checking over the past week or so there seem to be more for sale than I was expecting, but prices vary alot.
