What's an S3c worth?

[Deadfast]

I’m presently searching for a good S. I had a Chimaera a few years back and ideally I would have the V8, but my budget just doesn’t stretch that far. This S3c has been in the classifieds for a while.

I’ve been in touch with the owner, who is clearly a really genuine bloke and he has spent a lot on the car. Understandably he wants to recoup as much as he can.

However, I’m in the same position as most other people. I’m nervous about spending all my capital in the present economic climate. I certainly cannot afford to pay over the genuine value. Looking through other posts on this forum suggests a car in excellent condition is worth between 5-6K. I would just like to know whether that is correct. In other words, what is a car in this kind of condition worth in cold, hard monetary terms?

Thanks for any advice.

6k probably about right as you have identified - £7k you're starting to get into V8S money.

You could pop along to this to meet a few owners

Thanks,

Handy it's on Sunday (wedding, not mine, on Saturday). Have to see if I can slope off for a while. Heligan is worth a visit for any reason!
