Title: Re: how much Post by PJDavis on Mar 8th, 2010, 8:51pm Both of those cars are in the clouds. Nice cars undoubtably, but worth only a fraction of their asking price. I'd be thinking about £12-15 hundred fo the first one if it had a wee warranty from the seller, and about next to b****rr-all for the silver one! Nah, about £7-800 for the silver one. Whats the thoughts? |

Title: Re: how much Post by Tons_of_fun on Mar 9th, 2010, 1:07pm It all boils down to what someone wants to pay i suppose :-/. I know a guy from Unleashed who sold his 96 cossie estate for £2,500 :o :o. Mind you it was super low mileage & absolutley mint ;). However i have noticed a slight increase in scorpio prices of late, but i too think those paticular cars are well overpriced. I would think £1500 would be top dollar for a scorpio, providing it was a late facelift cossie or diesel in as new condition. Well thats what i would pay anyway ;). Hang on in there Rich. The right car will come along sooner or later :) |

Title: Re: how much Post by Snoopy on Mar 12th, 2010, 8:27am Some of the Mercs have an injector problem ATM read some of the forums .. They even stopped production at the factory because the dealers had NO spares.. Loads of them lined up at dealers all over the place..... |

Title: Re: how much Post by Dijit on Mar 19th, 2010, 12:20pm Scorpio Ultima 12V 2.9L April 95 Thanks to anonymous Berk in Tescos car park, needs N/S Headlamp and new Front Bumper. Also some slight surface scratches on N/S doors. Coachwork otherwise in mint condition. Absolutely NO rust anywhere. Genuine 90, 000 miles from new. Head gskets renewed 2000 miles ago, and new disks and pads all round at the same time. I'm looking to change to something more economical. What should I ask, if selling privately? What should I ask in partex for a £3000 used car? Help, anyone? Don T |

Title: Re: how much Post by Highlander on Mar 19th, 2010, 12:35pm Hi Don, With that damage and the 12v engine I dont suspect you'll get much for it at all privately, I'm guessing around 300. Scrappage on a cheap new car might be the best option? |

Title: Re: how much Post by Dijit on Mar 20th, 2010, 4:21pm Yeah! I sort of expected that. Breaking for parts would earn a lot more, but it does seem a shame to junk that perfect rust free shell, the first mint 15 year old I've ever had. New car isn't an option, I'm afraid, hence the query about partex on a £3000 used one. Pity really. If I were twenty years younger I'd look at shoehorning a diesel in there. Thanks for the help though. Don T. |
