Title: What are migs going for?
Post by: omegod on 12 September 2011, 18:03:14
Anyone sold an elite lately? totally out of touch but what would a 2000 reg MFL elite in decent nic, 150k fully working LPG, new tyres , wishbones with WIM setup and serviced more times than Jordan fetch? Cambelt due in a year/10k.

Happy to go via autotrader as need max value out of it. I seem to have caught Beemer fever :D

Unfortunately there is no real answer to that. They sell for whatever the buyer is willing to pay ;)

We sold our saloon for £800 if that helps?

I bought Goldie - a chipped, 3.0l cammed W reg 2.5 Elite - for £700 about 18 months ago, with about 120k on clock.  Yet my 54k 03 3.2 Elite I paid significantly more for.

They both worked when I bought them. Goldie only managed a couple of k before the engine decided enough was enough

I guess being LPG'd would add value to the car as selling large engined cars in the current climate isn't easy.

We've not really seen any price increases due to LPG but I think it does help with the sale

I sold my facelift 2.5 saloon elite on X reg 2000, for £650 4 months ago, but that did have 175k on the clock.
It did have new discs & pads/cam covers done, FSH etc but did have rusty rear wheel arches..... :y

I sold my mint 2001 MV6 FVSH 121K for 1100 quid, to be honest at the time I was happy to get that... Unless someone really wants it petrols are hard to shift  :y
