Title: Scorpio prices on the up!
Post by Highlander on Apr 15^th, 2010, 10:36am

I dunno if its the high scrap price, low value of the pound, the recession forcing people to downgrade or not to upgrade their car, or a combination of the above but the selling prices (and asking prices)! are definitely on the rise..

I keep a close eye on ebay, autotrader etc and cars seem to be shifting for about 50% more than they were a year ago, which I find surprising considering we are averaging 1.20 a litre for fuel and thats only going to increase..

I've not bought one for ages, even the scrappers are fetching 300 quid! :)

Thats another one on ebay sold for £1555
When was the last time we saw those sort of prices??

I bought my purple 24v for £1500 over 5 years ago!

I think it's only in the UK the scorpios are/were exceptionally cheap. In Germany for example, don't expect anything but a non-runner or seriously faulty for less than 1000 euros. A decent one averages at 1500-2000 euros.
