NC values - what's happening with them?

[TheJimi]

Since it was always the Mk1's & 2's I was interested in, I've never kept an eye on NC values.

So, what are they doing? Staying strong? Dropping?

Just sold my 2006 2.0se with 89k miles on it, 12 months mot a full history. I got £4k for it.

Hmm.

Not very strong then...

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 years I owned it, there just doesn't seem to be as much love for the NC as there is for the NA,NB.

I bought mine from a garage in Yeovil 3 years ago with 56k on the clock for £5300 so I was happy enough to get £4k for it.

In the 3 years of ownership only cost me 1 set of tyres and 3 services.

Low mileage cars on MK3's very strong.

I got a 2006 Sport( with hard top)with 35k on it in June for £6k and I've spent close on £3.5k with new tyres, a visit to WIM and a BBR 200 kit. Will I get my money back? I doubt it but it's fun to drive.

I bought my 56 plate Sport 2.0 2006 car back in April 2013 and paid £5k for it with 61k miles on it.
FSH and 2 owners.
I've replaced all 4 tyres (just wanted a decent brand on them) and serviced it for the past 2 years with Mazda.
It came with the Mazda genuine Eibach springs too which I think the last owner was unaware of.

I've done 1,200 miles in it in 2 years, and I've got a buyer lined up for it a £5k.

I reckon that's pretty good in terms of depreciation over 2 years.
