Unfortunately I sold my 4.3 Chim last summer for an extension and baby. Now they are done looking to get back into it! Really looks like a buyers market so thinking about purchasing another 4.3 (which I loved) or perhaps a 4.5/5 litre.
Some of the prices seem too good to be true. Not bothered about age obviously just condition. There are 2 5 litre cars sub £7k on autotrader although would be wary of buying from a dealer rather than a ph'er.
Can a good un be had for the £7k mark thesedays?
Cheers.

Thats a hard one bud, the trouble is these cars tend to be grouped together with no real value for year or engine size, i was told to buy the latest car i could afford because they sorted a few nigles out on the later cars, i would like to say 5k gets you a stinker early 4ltr, 8k gets you an early 5ltr or a nice late 4ltr, and 10k up gets you the pick of the bunch but o boy have cars taken a tumble recently, then there's mileage, 70 80 90 k plus cars dont get a look in, its a shame the chimaera didnt change shape throughout its years like every other car (given a code name) then i think the market would have a more stable value for each year and model.
Just make sure you buy on condition not price. There are bargains to be had but the ropey ones tend to pull down the prices of the gooduns.
I sold my VGC 60k miles 97 400 in October for £8750, there were a lot newer for less but the buyer of mine upped his budget due to the state of a lot of them.

Thats a big one i forgot to mention, people start seeing cars at silly money then before you no it a mate of a mate in the pub says " there not worth much now days are they" But as eggs are eggs the cheap ones manifest themselfs to be money pits. But without doubt when those cheap cars start to appear the rest do suffer.
