    I suppose the fact a nice V8 with lowish miles is worth about 10k must make this worth double that as it is undriven technically but as soon as the miles start going on it the value dives.

    If he had to sell it I suppose 15k would see it sold quite quickly, what did the Turbo sell for recently with 0 miles? I think that fetched low teens so I suppose this should be 50% more maybe?

    That 1.8T with 3 miles sold for £12,300 at auction if I remember correctly. Which was over the initial estimate...
    So yeah I reckon a 260 with delivery miles could easily sell at 15k.

    Yeh, but that's no way 29k+ pounds.
    Like I say IF you buy something like that you have to keep at 0 miles and never use/enjoy it (stamp collecting) in the hope it MAY appreciate, or use it and watch the market value plummet.

    For me the choice was easy; my 'Olive' cost 3.5k-ish pounds in super condition, FSH, BUT 200k miles.
    So, I fix what needs to be (not a lot) and enjoy every single day I drive her! I don't think I'll ever lose money anyway.
    With 30k pounds I could buy 8 Olives !!!!
    I know; off-topic, sorry!
