I was considering an AM DB9 last year and was offered 15k for my 2006 Tuscan Convertible as trade in.
They told me that it will need an engine rebuild in the next few years

Don't believe them, I'll buy it 20k :-) lol

Blimey, that's a non S as well Keith.............What must an S be worth now then

Gordon,
I've just got hold of all the convertible factory specification sheets for all convertibles, so I'm updating the register. You will be pleased to hear the actual build numbers I believe are about the 90 mark, with about 15 ordered but never built... So proof of their rarity....When I've scanned them I willmake them available to owners...Keith

PS My insurance agreed writeoff valuation is now £54k.

"So? That'd be probably about as much as a major service on the car you're trying to sell me!" :P

Would an S be that much more expensive? Those in growing toe nails on the front must have a detrimental effect on residuals...

Great, will be very happy to have a copy.
Nice to hear more accurate numbers.

I havnt requested a write off value so very interesting.

Cheers.

Never heard of a write off value before, which insurance company operate that system, I am with Reis.

I am with Mannings...they require at least one dealer valuation (and if required a second one), photos of all sides of car,interior,engine bay and I send them chassis aswell . Upto £75k does not require a tracker, but this time I did have to pay extra because I increased its value mid policy (£20 admin fee and another £40 because of the increased value). I was already paying for the 4.5 upgrade , previously it was valued at £37k and I spent a lot extra on the upgrade. A valuation lasts for two years, unless you wish to increase it.

It does save the hassle of argueing about market values if you were to have an accident.

Thanks for this advise, it realy is very helpful.
I wrote off my first Tuscan and although I got back more than I had paid, The 20+k that I had spent was totally lost.

I enjoy reading things like this as it makes the £5k I paid for my mk1 Tuscan seem even more of a bargain...! :-)

[Walford]
