Nice business model - buy on one with less traffic and lower prices, sell on the other for more!
Strange car this one.... we had it in stock about two years ago, absolute belter, one of the best driving 205s I’ve driven. Struggled to get it away though, eventually sold into trade again (for a good profit!). It then sat with that trader for nearly a year I think, eventually selling through The Market at what I thought was a bargain. Looks like the current owner is going to do well out of it! https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1991-peugeot-2...

I though that Steelie might go higher... Perfect spec for me. I'd have bid on it if my 106 project wasn't almost done.
I'm another who had better 1.6s than 1.9s, though the latter did feel more of an animal.
Imagine saying that about 130bhp these days!?
Good buy for £10k-ish - will never lose much (if anything) and a nice profit for the owner.

Yes, looked like a bid was cancelled. Sold for £9,990, which, despite the fact it sold a while ago for £8,100 on the market a while ago, still seems very cheap, even including 6% fees. I could justify £10k for one, but not much more. I just hope a dealer with a white background hasn’t bought it and it appears again at 30k. I seriously considered it, but I’ve worked hard at building a 3 month salary buffer, and this would have almost wiped that out.
It really was a lovely example... I sold one last year (year after the Steel Grey) for 20% more that didn't drive anywhere near as well, although it was a one owner Miami Blue example so that holds some weight in the market. I do wonder whether the more downbeat interior compared to other models holds it back a little, I can't think of any other explanation. Anyway, at 10k someone has a great car, it's what I sold it for in to trade 2 years ago. ChevronB19 said:
As an owner of both the 1.9 and 1.6, on several occasions, I can assure you the 1.6 is better, notably because it doesn’t suffer from the driveline shunt ‘jerkiness’ the 1.9 is prone to.
100% agreed, but this is objective 'drivers' thinking... Once you get over the straightline performance difference (which is easy to do these days, neither car is particularly quick any more), the 1.6 is definitely the better all round package.However the market is a little more subjective and buyers in this market behave with considerable emotion... in 1990 everyone wanted the 1.9 and the memory of that still holds strong in some peoples heads, so the 1.9 is more desirable in this context.
Personally I'd take the 1.6 every time and use the considerable spare change for something else...
And apologies, I appreciate we are on the Supercar forum here so I'll say no more about the 205!

Don't apologise, if someone is on the supercar forum and doesn't know/appreciate/love a 205 GTI they're probably too young to be here! (UK/European bias notwithstanding of course!)And apologies, I appreciate we are on the Supercar forum here so I'll say no more about the 205!

Am I the only one thinking that many of these cars have actually gone for very strong money. I think people are already expecting to get a bargain with the world currently on pause, are finding something on here with time on their hands and then getting carried away. Many people seem to have suggested elsewhere that the true economic effect of COVID-19 wont realise itself until after government furloughs end, lockdowns end etc which is 3-4 months from now. So really, with a few exceptions (I pointed out the 512BB on a separate thread), the results on CC arent too different from what you would have bought the same cars for 2/3/4 months ago, which means really with lockdown being in place this website could currently (and somewhat ironically) be a "sellers market" to get something gone for reasonable money before things hit the fan in a few months time

Yes l agree so many people with time on their hands has turned what looked like a disaster for car sales into a bonanza for sellers getting really strong moneyEdited by suigeneris on Friday 22 May 16:39

Spot on. The 599 ended at £63k. Add buyers fee so £69k. Not been serviced in three years so at minimum £5000 spend, quite possibly nearer £10k. There are RHD cars just above £80k, I know a RHD 30k miler just sold for over £80k last week.Edited by suigeneris on Friday 22 May 16:39
