Thats not bad compared to some other makes.
Here's a quote on my Alfa 156 Selespeed Veloce, December 2001, 15000 miles.

Dealer £10,115

Private £9,648

Part Ex £8,803

Trade £8,721

Cost New £19,220

I actually had a few extra's putting the list price at over £20000. At 18 months old I was offered £7500 part exhchange at a Ford dealers.

Looking round at the Ford Dealers they had a year old top spec V6 Mondeo that also had Sat Nav, Xenon lights, parking sensors etc. Full list £23000 its a year old for £11500.

In context the Scoob still doing well its just the Market is dire at the moment. Very few cars holding value only the very desirable stuff.

Phil,

My workmate has a MY01 bugeye on a "y" plate, he is going to live abroad and has been trying to sell the car. Best offer he's had so far is £11000 from a main dealer. He's had it advertised for £12500 in the trader but not had a single call execpt from other advertising companies.

Holy smoke! Sell it, sell it! You'd have enough to buy a 911 with some change left over!

We sold my Wife's Clio privately, for 15% more than the Autotrader valuation. We priced it according to what cars were going for in the local area.
