Which cars have not gone up massively in price

[Mrinsignia]

A lot of the cars I have been looking at over the last 12/18months have gone up massively in price. Surprisingly (to me at least) a lot of these have been prestige or sporty type cars. Are there any cars in particular that have not gone up majorly in price?

I'd hazard a guess at dull, white goods stuff like boggo spec Fiestas, Corsas, little Korean things etc.

And possibly/probably all the diesel rep mobiles which 10 years ago were seen as the answer to everyones problems and are now seen as the root of all evil. Can't see Covid has been that kind to stuff like diesel Insignias etc...

Nope, we bought youngest a 65 plate Corsa almost 18 months ago and it’s up 25%.

Anything over 8-10 years old that’s not affordable or collectible is where value lies at moment. I bought a well priced 125i and a early Boxster for peanuts, normally I’d buy new or nearly new.

I'm looking at a new Shed to replace the Daihatsu Charade and would like something similar. 60/61 plate Kia Picantos and other washing machine cars seem good value at around 1-1.5k for something with basic stuff - airbags, abs, aircon. The more basic the car, the more value. These type of cars are in complete contrast to pricing for small Euro cars.

Its an add market, I've e had my current car nearly a year and put just under 10k miles on it and its gone up in value, no point in selling though as the cars I would replace it with have gone up too

The answer to your question is the Maserati Gransport. Undervalued for years, as far as I can tell values have remained absolutely stagnant over the last couple of years.

A new Porsche 992 GT3!

[Glosphil]

The trade-in 'value' of my wife's 2010 Clio has risen from £1250 to £2175!
Unfortunately the cars we were looking at as replacement at around £12k would now be 4-1/2 years old rather than 2.
We'll wait another year & see how prices are then.

My E90 BMW 330i seems to have tanked!

I paid over £3K for it 3 years ago but WBAC valued it at £1,080 early last December, then got down to £680.

Now I ignore their invitations for an updated valuation.

Looking at what the part ex price is now on the F82 M4 I have...I've lost £7k on it already in only a year of ownership!

FML!

Is that really bad though on a night priced performance car?

R171 SLK55 AMG's don't appear to have gone up much at all in the last couple of years compared to other similar prestige/performance cars.

The bloke who bought my e92 325i seems very confident.

He gave me £5700 for it in June 2020 and I noticed it was advertised on AT the other week for £8300. No idea if it actually sold or not!

Rear subframe corrosion and split disks to thank for that....

The thing is, since the pandemic has pushed prices up, people seem to have forgotten how much average cars lost and how quickly. It is now a case of ‘oh no, my £30k car has lost £2k’ as if it is a surprise.

Regarding older cars, if you buy a £3k car and in 3 years it is worth £1k that is still not awful and means the car has done you well in my eyes.

Probably because only a small fraction of people would but one over the identically looking and cheaper 4200, and the newer-looking Granturismo.

My Mustang 5.0 GT went up from £30K to £33K on we buy any car now back down to £30k

[x5tuu]

My ex-lease 68 plate Octavia went back august 2021 … it’s still for sale on a franchised Milton Keynes forecourt started out at £16k and it’s now under £13.5k

It’s very easy to upgrade discs is it not?

Also rear sibframe issues do not appear to impact the E46 M3 CS etc
