I wonder if there is an unregistered one lurking somewhere? Have seen several "new" old vehicles" appear in the last few years I would give £15,000 tops for that.Would have to be V6 though.

I can vaguely remember Josh Wyatt speaking of such a car a few years ago.

Only ones you're likely to see like that will be Specials, such as plod.  I wouldn't pay much for a plod, even brand new.

And an unused 15 year old car will be undrivable without a lot of work and replacement parts

They were unable to be registered as a deliberate paperwork error saw other vehicles registered using the chassis numbers of the unregistered vehicles. DVLA wouldn't budge.

I am not afraid to state again I paid £3,495, after trade in, for my current 3.2 in 2013 with a full service history, immaculate condition and just 57k on the clock.

I have never regretted that and have spent good money keeping it in prime condition with a main Vx dealer doing all the work in terms of servicing and maintenance.

I would only sell it for £10,000 as it should be my final car which I will take to both our ends, God willing!

Bit gloomy , Lizzie.

You'll live to one hundred.

Bloody hope not!!

Interesting. Would have thought you could put them through the sva and get an age registered plate?

My CD has cost a fortune this year, thermostat, cam cover gaskets (it's a V6) cam belt service, door lock and crank sensor so far. I understand it will soon need an exhaust as the boxes are crumbling and a down pipe has suffered road strike but I wouldn't be without her purely for the noise she makes around mid throttle and comfort she provides.
I understand 3000 are being scrapped every year meaning tidy ones are tipped to be going up in price!

Nope. Export outside EU for 12 months and reimport before they would even discuss it

Real shame! No OOFers on the Isle of Man I take it .

I have family on both Guernsey and Jersey, but was unable to pin down the details before they were disposed of

I have just bought a 1991 Mercedes S124 230TE auto estate and therefore I am very reluctantly considering selling my excellent 2004 2.2 CDX auto estate which has excellent bodywork.  I bought it 10 years ago and it has been kept in a garage and pampered ever since.  I injected Dinitrol wax into every cavity hence no rust and despite having covered just over 130,000 miles drives almost like new and has always been totally reliable.  It must be one of the best around but I have no idea what to ask for it.  A local dealer (Chichester) on ebay is asking nearly £1300 for one that seems similar to mine but I haven't seen it to compare.  If anyone is interested I would be grateful for any advice on price, if that is not being too cheeky.

In most cases like mine you just wouldnt get back what you spent on it getting it in top condition. Would not part with mine for no less than £1500 as thats whats been spent including price of the car
