1994 rev3 N/a tin top whats it worth?

[eatdrinkfeck]

yeah i hate these posts too, but just wondering the value of my car?

(also 50k miles and standard except for a 10 cd changer)

oh and very good condition...

I'd guess probably around the £2800 mark as it's such low mileage.

What colour is it, I maybe interested if its white. Forget it, just seen its red and purchase preice of £2500, so about £2100 now.

Err how did you work that one out? Just because he paid £2500 does not mean thats what you take into acount when working out a selling price

He paid a good price for it, its like me saying well you got cheap tubby for £2000 so its selling value is £1600

of course you do if he advertises the fact he paid £2500 no ones going to offer him more cars don't appreciate unless you do a full restoration etc. There are plenty of similar cars about between £2K and £3K.

I think a lot of people probably make a bit of money on MR2's. I don't really agree with it but it can happen with these cars, some will say they're barely worth anything but then because they're getting rarer with such low mileage you can understand how someone would be willing to pay a high amount. I think £2800 is fairly reasonable. I can't seem to sell mine at the moment, probably due to the high-ish mileage.

sorry, i forgot about this thread

yup its rather silly to expect a car to have depreciated on any given purchase price as you can get a good deal out there. alternatively i can just amend the price on here to £5000 and bobs-your-uncle my car is now worth £4500 monies thank you very much meester!

Well think about this,... I have the cash to buy your car should I have wanted, pile of notes, i'm off to see a similar one (rev3, n/a, tintop) on sunday as a matter of fact, in the colour I want not a notoriously poorly aging colour for £1995. I saw you paid £2500 for your car therefore I would not offer that figure but lower, the car is now older, one more owner, you found it for £2500 therefore time has passed now they must be able to be found cheaper.

I have mailed at least 4 other people today making enquiries about their cars all rev3's all under £2K, all described as good condition, some less miles, some more miles. Theres a rev3 turbo on here, pistonheads and autotrader for £2K.

Time to get over it MR2's are cheap and common, thats why cars are hanging round unsold for months if they are even slightly overpriced.

Stop talking out your ar$e

A car is only worth as much and someone is willing to pay for it, period

[Rosssco]

Exactly! As an example, I old my Rev 5 last year for exactly what I payed for it a year and 8k miles later. Why, because I got it at a very good price originally from someone who had to sell in a hurry, and I maintained it to a high standard, hence it was worth exactly the same the following year....

Not saying it is, as I've never seen it, but if this car is very good condition, then I dont see why it shouldn't hold its value...?? Just my opinion ofcourse, as I'm keeping my eye out for a Rev3 NA myself...

Good luck with the sale in anycase...

[steve b]

Well good luck selling, but theres one buyer here who wouldn't entertain paying over £2.2K and i'm sure there are plenty of others. At present i'd say :-

mk1 needing body work <£1000
mk1 body work done £1500
mk1 never been restored and not needing it £2000
rev1 <£1300
rev2 <£1800
rev3 >£1800

Steve, I think you e-mailed me today about mine aswell. Lol.

I went to see a number of N/A's before mine and there were some very poor examples. I've also been on the lookout for a turbo recently and again it's very hard to find one in top condition (bodywork-wise). In fact I'd say N/A's often have better paintwork than turbo's.

I've come to the conclusion there's no choice, you have to pay extra for a mint one unless you get very lucky. Mine cost over £3k, although it was 3 years ago but the bodywork was virtually unmarked and it had only done 65k miles.

It only takes one person to come along and agree to pay the price asked. I would certainly pay more for a good one, within reason of course.

steve b, if you've found a rev3 in good nick with LESS miles than mine and all for under £2k, then i will eat my pancreas.

there are a number of mr2's right now on autotrader with more mileage than mine in the £3-4k bracket so unfortunately your argument does not stack up.
to be honest i wouldn't sell my car to you even if it was on the market as you sound like a bit of a t1t, but at at the end of the day "ross" has hit the nail on the head, a car is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.
