So I was looking to upgrade the Doris' car, and she said she a DC5 would be nice...

I though, probably 8k would get a good one.

That was based on me selling a really nice blue low mileage one about 2 1/2 to 3 years ago, for 10k.

They are bloody fetching the same money now, and more!

What's going on?

A lot of the second hand market seems high atm?

 

Probably the price of recession.

 

Mark, it's because the Yen is so strong at the moment. JDM imports are so much more expensive than they were a few years ago. This has kept secondhand prices high.

I bought my grade 5A 2k mile facelift DC5 for £14.5k (when it was 250 Yen to the Pound). I sold it almost two years later with 10k miles on for £14k (when it was about 150 Yen to the Pound).

Chris.

 

Interesting.

I just looked on the DC5 forum and prices seem much more reasonable than PH.

 

Surely her indoors should be driving sommet more like this Mark

 

Is that a Figaro, i see quite a few round here 1.0Litre turbo too

 

There have been a few nice ones for sale recently at sub £8k.

That's a nice one, has a few cosmetic issues that require sorting but on the whole a sound car.

 

Pity oversize wheels weren't in vogue when it was designed; would look more authentic with skinny 15" wheels.

Great pastiche though!

 

Funnily enough she really does want one of those Too old though

 

Simon, will have to sign up there and have a look.
