Default s2000 prices

why is everyone still dropping the price of s2k's they are going to be worth peanuts soon,

as a great sports car they will be worth whatever we sell them for as there isnt much competition out there for the same price
on pistonheads there are 25 cars under 6k and cheapest at £3100

everyone put your prices up to help hold their value !!!!!



a quick pistonheads search found these at soooo cheap prices

£3100

Because they are desperate for cash and they aren't selling

Economics.

I blame it on the young ones who buy and sell within a few months because they can't afford the insurance, and need a quick sale to fund their drug habit.

I thought the same (except the loan!), might indicate something dodgy about the car or seller. 41k on a 2002???

Its probably a writeoff, alot of the lower priced ones i was looking to buy, there seemed to be alot of cheap cat d and cat c write offs.

I thought the prices would stay the same or higher as summer is coming up.

Seriously though, I think I was lucky to get £4350 for my knackered MY99 JDM when it was written off.
