I just paid 5k for a 54 plate CDTI with 36k miles, so I can't see how this isn't worth the money! Very nice looking car, I would be seriously interested if I was looking for one.

I was going to say, that whilst I can't afford to buy one, that doesn't make my opinion any less valid!
However, with a post like that, why bother, as it seems that some owners just hide their heads in the sand as to what their cars are worth on the open Market!
Your opinion is just one of many so what makes you right?
Did you own one, did you actually look for one?
Do you really want one?
I think it's time to realise that normal valuations do not apply to a 260 no matter how much you'd like to
When you eventually come to buy one, let us know how much you paid and make us suffer
Until then..................good luck searching

'Tis the season of goodwill gents - be nice!
Prices and valuations are always a contentious issue, buyers and sellers rarely have the same opinion.

There are two values for a car, one the value an owner puts on it which comes from what it would cost to replace the car/driving satisfaction and the true cash value which is what someone is prepared to pay you for it. For me my car is still worth what I paid for it (£28K) but its market value is only a fraction of that.

I wonder IF you would actually get 12k..in a write off situ Andy ?
I have had agreed values on cars before..BUT with 2 or 3 specialist/ expert.. written valuations.
I don't believe the Pete Best kind of "self certification" car valuations !
I am sure..ANY..self cert or expert valuation..is evaluated at pay out time..as to whether its " realistoc " and the Claims Dept'S look at current actual prices achieved for your car.
