How much for a griffith?
Discussion
that would appear to be one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions.
Price is dependant on factors such as age, condition, mileage, extras, how many others are for sale at the time, even down to colour combinations. Not forgetting good old whim.
I looked at quite a few cars and the prices varied quite considerably.
I do not know how the prices have fluctuated over the last couple of years.
I personally think that the older Griff prices will remain fairly stable now as the ones still around are generally well cared for and fewer are coming up for sale. (IMHO).

ps you will not be seeing mine up for sale.

ok. N reg 1995 in pretty good nick. Am going through a divorce and have been offered a griff in part settlement. Do I keep it or sell it?
He said he paid 15K for it in 2002 and that it's worth 8K now.
???
Sorry - but before I answer, who are you?
Is it your husband or wife that is offering the Griff? as either way it seems a bit unusual.
I don't want inadvertantly be partly responsible for an enthusiast losing their pride and joy because it has been wrongly valued and they have to let it go in a settlement.
TVRs are not like bricks and mortar, they get in your soul
If you are the injured party I am very sorry, and if your partner loves the Griff but there is no option to take it, then ask a main dealer what they would give, it is the only fair way.
Good luck.
thats just what I was thinking burriana.
tans...tell us more info please!
I AM the '96 Griff hunter and have a good idea of current prices!
(and I just purchased 2 weeks/2000 miles ago!).
Prices can vary by £10K depending on condition, mileage, private/trade sale and colour combination/spec (sometimes).

tans, I'm assuming you're the lady of the partnership (he said he bought it...)
I'm with the chaps here, finding myself a bit puzzled by your enquiry.
If you were married to this chap, I'm a bit surprised you don't know a bit more about the car. Of course, you could be one of those 'not interested' wives, but then why would you even think about taking it as settlement? And why would he let it go?
I also think that the 50% depreciation that's being suggested (on a 1995 car, in 2 years!!) is a bit fishy. What's the history of the car? While you owned it (mileage, where's it kept, where's it serviced?). Before you owned it? Have you got a picture of it you can post?
No offence but either Mr or Mrs isn't telling the whole truth here. Not sure which though

Hi all.
I'm the wife. Got his three kids to support, getting no maintenance, he had several affairs then bought the TVR to ensure that he could have more affairs.
The TVR is pride and joy (or course) I wouldn't have dreamed of asking for it, he's offered it.
The reson behind this (I think) is that he has take about £100k out of our properties and hidden it. He has enough cash to buy a new TVR if he gets away with this.
Car is dark green, unsure about the miles buy not high I think, it has been in the garage all winter and he had a few problems with the electric. I don't kno any more.

well, my L93 Griff, 42,000 miles is for sale at £14,000, so I'd expect yours to be worth a little more - assuming it's in the same (good) condition. £8,000 seems VERY low to me...
edited to add - if HE is offering it to YOU in part settlement, surely it's wise to tell him it's worth bugger all? That way, you'll get more for the rest of your half of the settlement, and you'll have a griff, too. If you don't want it, you can sell it and make a whole load more than 8k. Quids in!

tans. Obviously we cant be sure if you are genuine and ther eis no way to prove this. Some people come on here trying to pull the wool over our eyes in order to do devious things.
Please forgive me/us if you are who you say you are.
Here is what I think you need to be carefull of.
Firstly has the car even been written off; treat the car as if you were buying it yourself and get it HPI checked. This is something that will change the value of the car lots. It will also tell you if there is any outstanding finance on the car.
I have been looking at Griffs the same age as the one in question. For the good ones with a mileage of 40-50K the price was around £16-£17K.
For the same qualtiy car and mileage I found you could take off £1000 per year.
So an M reg car would be for sale for £15-£16K.
This is mainly Private sales too. Add £2-3K for dealer prices.
As the mileage goes up the price comes down , but not by much if the condition is good.
here is my summary of what prices you would see cars for sale at, or what you could pay (haggle down to).
N reg, private sale:
excellent condition (and I hope most griffs would be)
40,000 miles £16500-£18K
50,000 miles £16000-£17K
70,000+ miles £14000-£17k
Fair to poor condition
40,000 miles £15500-£16500
70,000+ miles £13000-£15k
Needs attention
40,000 miles £12000-£15000
70,000+ miles £10000-£14000
Now dont take these as a professionals answer. Im just using prices that I have seen for private sales on cars I have viewed.
I would suggest getting it inspected by Rob Ingleby but then the current owner would also get to know what the value was.
Definitly get it HPI checked though.
Even if it had been previously written off but repaired OK it might still be worth more than £8K. Come back to us for more inforamtion if this is the case.
If you are being offered it for £8K and the car is good you could easily make £5K profit in one day. Someone would snatch a good griff up at £13K. A dealer would pay more than that for a good one. Just dont let on how much it is worth to you!
I know of a dealer that has offered £16K for an N reg Griff, but it is an immaculate one.
I hope all that helps you and I hope you are who you say you are and that all goes well.
While I didnt buy my Griff to pull the girls it is satisfying to know that someone thinks its the car that can!
(I didnt even want one, my girlfriend forced me to buy it!)

tans said:Well I'm slightly confused, why is he suggesting it's only worth £8k? Surely it's in his interest to suggest the value of the car is far higher if it is being offered as part of a settlement? Anyway my advice, for what it's worth, would be to not get involved in this and simply ask your solicitor to sort out a cash settlement that is acceptable to you both. Also you say you receive no maintenance but why not? It is the easiest thing to get the CSA to sort this out. They love dealing with fathers who are traceable, it's the difficult ones who move around and give false addresses they can't handle and give up on! Good luck. Rich...
Hi all. I'm the wife. Got his three kids to support, getting no maintenance etc.
