In case it's relevant to anyone Jeremy can also comment on LWB car prices as I think he has 3 or 4 of them too

I have often posted in the past that a nice 50K V8 is worth £5,000 all day long! (and lower mileage even more) However, as rare as these cars are, no one will ever convince me that one having covered 100,000 miles, is worth £8K! Now, if you're happy (and have the money) to pay that, then that's fine! Now even if I had the money ( which currently I do not) I wouldn't be paying that amount, for that car, especially as it was advertised previously for £4,975 and didn't sell at that figure! But good luck to the seller, if he thinks he can get that for it! |

mileage
why on earth does everyone go on about mileage . it seems anything over 50k is a high mileage car lol . a big low reving V8 with 100k on it thats had regular oil changes etc and looked after is nothing . these cars and engines will go on forever if treated right . oh and by the way ive got one lol

Although it's cheaper to replace a bearing than an engine it does seem to bother people |

My Rover 25 is 2001 registered, 70k miles and is no where near as mint condition as other 25's with more miles.

The V8`s have a select following and as a proud owner of any car or make we all think our cars are worth more than they are.
The Rover 75 isn't short on problems thus such a very popular owners club. Buy a V8 or a 1.8 Classic you are still going to encounter very similar trim problems etc. Outside our little bubble people wouldn't give you tuppence for a "Rover" and a juicey high tax bracket V8 doesn't help either. The values are low because people are snobs and supply and demand is key. Why did I sell 2002 Golf 1.4 S last week done 102k for £1850? Because people are like sheep and as there is a huge following prices and demand are high. Petrol is going through the roof and this affects all big engine cars. Supply and demand sets prices and 100k V8 "Rovers" don't set peoples hearts racing just like Mercs, BMW`s and Audi`s. Yet they are seen as quality bullet proof cars that last forever. Im 42 been in the motor trade for 26 years and people buying set the prices. Ive seen people buy rusty Focuses rather than a mint Rover 25 with half the miles as they "don't like Rovers because they are old mans cars". Utter cobblers but that's the way image and word of mouth go. |

It's a lovely car, but it looks green in colour to me. Is this an in-joke, or do I need my eyes testing?
