Scorpio Resale Values

I've noticed recently that a decent, well maintained Scorp will still fetch £500 - £1000 on eBay.
I paid £800 for my 65k 98 2.3 nearly two years ago and reckon I could still get not far off that now on the evidence of other sales, even thought is now sitting on 85k.
Zero depreciation in two years puts a big grin on my face and sticks up two fingers to others who seem to wonder why I continue to run a 12 year old car 
I wonder if Scorp resale values have bottomed out and may even now begin to appreciate for those cars in good condition.
Anyone else agree?

Scorpio values can't really get much lower IMHO.
Look at the prices decent Mk3 Granadas are fetching now they are no longer common, especially the rare 4x4 version. I think there were only a handful of 4x4 Mk3 estates sold.
Scorpio has to go the same way.

Well I paid just over £1800 for an M REg 2.9 24v Ultima saloon from a garage with low miles (65k) and full service history. I had all the bills for all repair work and most was done at a Ford main dealers.
My second Scorpio for my wife is a Facelift (early style) R Reg 2.3 Ultima Saloon which I bought on here with some substantial dents to front bonnet, cracks in front and rear bumper, plus a crease in the boot, and a damaged wing mirror. I paid just over £950 for that which had even lower miles, approx 55k.
Both cars has no real rust problems on the body, so I'm very happy with what I paid for them both. I did get the major work done to my wife's car and it now looks stunning.
In the end a car, like anything else is worth what your willing to pay for it

That would be before the scrap price increase, even today a Scorpio will make nearly 200 quid as scrap, our local scrappy is paying 135 per tonne just now for scrap cars, thats nowhere near the prices a year ago, but might explain the values or the spares or repairs cars.
My usual tactic is to buy a cheap mot failure or non runner, remove what i want from it and scrap the rest, usually the scrap money will cover the purchase price
