Default Fair car values?

So, with being another year further down the road from when our cars were available new I was wondering what folks think a fair value is for a S2000 today. Let's say high, medium, and low mileage and different ages. Also, if people think any colour is worth more than another or if the hard top really makes a difference to the overall cost of a car. I'd be curious what people have to say for:

High Mileage (over 100k) Medium Mileage (over 5-10k per year average) Low Mileage (under 5k per year average)
Year

1999

2000

2001

2002

2003

2004

2005

2006

2007

2008

2009

Please feel free to copy the above chart and put some info into it, adding to what others put in...

Mines a 2005, black with a few OEM extras and it's in mint condition with 47k on it FHSH etc. I'm going to keep it indefinitely but IF I do decide to change it for something else then i'll just look after it for the next owner. I reckon I could get £8500 for it now, it would be a very good car for that!

My 2002 is worth about a couple of grand.

My 2009 is worth about £¾million

2004 silverstone with 70k on the clock.

Few extras, fsh and in great condition.

I bought it for £10.5k over 2 years ago.

I reckon it's worth about £7.5k to £8k now.

They are worth stupidly low amounts of money#!!!

I paid £18000 for my 09 plate last March, I had been toying with the idea of trading it in and 4 different garages offered me between £10000 and £11500, that's a MASSIVE loss in 11 months, plus new tyres, servicing etc etc....

I will be keeping it for at least another year after that shock!

I paid £11k for my 07 on 35k miles and FHSH from a Honda dealer last week.
I thought that was reasonable.

All cars have their own specific value, some well looked after 2001's could be worth more than a 2004... condition and mileage pending.

Its fair to say that if you said all cars were "good" condition, 1999's could be 4k, 2002 5.5k, 2005 8k, etc. But emotive value, plus what you've done to look after it is critical. Pricing is really too sensitive though to really speculate.

Early models though can be bought for amazing bargains right now..
