For Sale..........mmmmmm - but not sure

£9k - Supply and demand. If its expensive in your mind then its not for you. Sounds about right for the car to me. Dealer, warranty, spec, colour, mileage, rarity, etc. I would suggest T16 goes and buys the same car SO much cheaper as he believes and puts it on for £8k making himself loads of cash BUT BUT BUT he wont find one! THAT'S WHY ITS £9K. We will soon see if its expensive on not "in the market place" by way of it being sold or still with him at the end of 2012??? I'll bet that as soon as the warmer weather arrives it will get sold in and around the asking price.

On another note - The more money they sell for, the higher the value of our cars go...............! Who's complaining?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is some polarization in prices of 260s.
By this I mean some of the more desirable examples (very low mileage,rare colours or specifications)appreciate in value,simply because they are difficult to find and few and far between,whereas it's still quite easy
to find a dozen or more 260s for sale with average mileages or popular colours,so there's still plenty of supply of 260s if you're not too fussed about the mileage or you want a more common colour so prices of these may continue to slide.

I'll declare my hand straight away-I'M A DEALER-MG DEALER and I've also bought and sold several MG ZT 260's (probably a dozen or more now!). I (like anyone on this earth!) goes to work to earn a living. As for ZT 260's (or any other car, for that matter) the idea is to buy as keenly as you can (remember, if you offer too little, someone else may offer more!) and to sell for as much as you realistically can (remember, if you price too high, then you might never sell!). As for colours, it's all down to the buyer, but my experience is that the rarer and more desireable monogram colours do fetch more money and always will! Most body repairs are down to insurance and they don't seem to add a premium to insure monogram cars. T16-if you don't like "precious metal's" price, then simples, find and buy a cheaper one elsewhere!
