I thought I would start a discussion on this after speaking to another well respected member on here about some of the ridiculous prices people are demanding for essentially standard cars.
Ill not mention specifically but i am aware of someone selling a tt6 in the mid 20s, not concourse, not particularly identifiable.
I have had 3 supras, a J Spec GZ TT Auto that I paid 5,250 for with 60k on it, an NA6 with 50k on it for £4k and a UK Spec single that I paid £6,500 for. Not astronomical prices and all reasonably tidy cars.
Now don't get me wrong my own car now I would value in the mid £20's purely on cost and I'm all for cars in that price range considering significant modification and work e.g Kaans, Chris Burlos, Sheefa etc etc.
But my question is, in what way is "the market up" for people to demand £12-15k plus for pretty standard cars, not particulary tidy or clean?
Rarity is the easy answer but really they arent that rare, no rarer than when you could pick up a TT auto for £5-6k, 3 or 4 years ago.
People always say its worth what someone will pay and I don't see many people paying so what has happened?
All opinions welcome!
