I recently saw a 500 SE for sale. If I remember correctly it was priced at 27K. What prices can I expect in the long run for last 100? Do you think 500SE's may increase or depreciate in value?

I may be considering a purchase.

Thanks

Personnally I can only see them going down. Although I'd love to talk them up.

David Gerald has a blue '02 one on 15k for £26K, they also have a '96 one in the same colour on 30k for £15K. I can't see as both get older the price differential will hold. Yes they will be a bit more than a standard 500, but they will fall down to the general Griffith price floor and condition will be all when they get to over 10 years old. I see on here there are (high milage) Chimaera's for under £7K.

Of course No 100 and No 1 will be worth much much more wink

Been a while since there has been an arguement on these pages as to who owned Number 100... hehe

Yep the only way is down. If the guy got £27k for it he has done very well, I think he posts on here, Stilly??.
No 9 was up for sale a short while ago (another pistonheads member) at much less, but there was also the car at HHC which was £30k.
So the prices are wildly variable. If you must have an SE, and why not, then you may have a bit of a wait but you will have to judge each car on its own merits. Only you can put a value on a car. If you get hung up on depreciation then you would never buy any carbiggrin

Mines always up for sale, but I don;t think it'll get the 100k asking price. . . You never know, but it helps when someone says when are you going to change that TVR, I can say when it sells hehe . .. Doon't think it ever will, so I'll just have to keep it !
