and a dead headliner. tripping.

I guess the big part about this is that 5-6 years ago, this would have been a $6K car, but here we are in 2022 with lots of us pining over our 'hero' cars from a little while back. Throw COVID into the mix and someone is cheeky enough to suggest it's worth more than $20K. One of us might see value in that and buy it.

For anyone interested, I can forward across some invoices/proof of spend by the previous owner for some of the maintenance items and some other things.

90% of ads seem to be people just fishing for an idiot buyer.

My last couple of vehicle purchases, I’ve paid 20% and 27% of the original asking prices… And both of the sellers started with a variation of “I know what I’ve got”…

The 850R: High teens, maybe nudging $20k for the right buyer but low~mid teens if you actually want to move it sometime soon (IMHO, obviously).

Insurance companies are willing to do agreed values at decent amounts now though which is a good thing, mine is with Shannon's for 30k, seems reasonable ?
