[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The unavoidable costs of running three cars is getting a bit much for me. Particularly when two of them do no more than 5000 miles a year between them.
I think the Boxster will probably have to go next spring / summer. 

You are unlikely to make a loss bearing in mind what you paid.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

£729.72.

So you pay more to tax it every year than it's actually worth. 

Similar scenario to your Mundano Titty X, I imagine.......although at a lower price point.

The Monsit's tax is £240 a year, which is of course a fraction of its value. 

The fraction being 8/10ths.....or 80%.

Good car that is worth £300 any day of the week.

Cheeky bugger! 

The Mondeo 2.2 TDCi Titanium X is a rare beastie I'll have you know! 

There are only two comparables on Autotrader right now. Like this one! 

Actually quite a good looking car.

Just checked with WBAC and they are currently offering £1295 for my classic. Couple of years ago their offer was closer to £650.

Confirmation she is an appreciating classic.

In these days of silly used prices, even my Vectra is a "appreciating classic". 

Vectra VXR may start to rise in value.

Pistonheads describe your car as a half forgotten class experiment M'Lud, which is very rude I think!

However..... Check out the price of the one in the article! £4190!     That's over a year ago, but there's currently a 2.2i for sale at £2995. 

Maybe you do have an appreciating classic on your hands after all....         Best sell it quick before it dissolves!

It will be available on here soon , let the bidding commence..😀

£17.50. Delivered.

[Sir Tigger KC]

£17.50. Delivered.

It'll still cost you £729.72 a year to tax it though Uncle STEMO.... 

I'd consider it for a Range Rover or BMW 7 series, something like that, but a classic Vauxhall?

Nah. For £17.50...delivered.....I'd just take it out and rag the arse of it until it went bang. Then I'd set fire to it and get the £50 insurance

Good plan! And you'd still make a bigger profit than Lord Opti ever will! 

[Rangie]

I'd make a bid, but I couldn't afford to tax it..

The article talks of 'Signum class' I suppose that is  similar to first class or Concorde class.....

No, I think it's more likely to be Vectra class

I paid a paltry £2400 for mine way back in 2015.

It was owned by a JP.

It gets better. It has provenance! 

You should tell prospective buyers investors that the JP was a direct descendant of Judge Jefferies!
