I know prices always take a bit of a dip this time of year, but this year seems to be way more severe than last year. Facelift LWB petrols can be had for £500, B series V6's can be had for similar money and Dti's for under a grand. Modded Fronty's are even worse! It will be interesting to see if they bounce back as much as they did last year in the winter, but some how I doubt it

Got my first one yesterday (1993) SWB 2.0 Sport with 91k on the clock for £350!  But she will need a bit of work in order to pass the m.o.t Winter will be back in full force and I'm betting the prices will go up....I can't wait for the snow is that wrong?

I wish it applied here in France , Fronty's fetch from 2000 euro's to 6000 eur's even with high kilometers, at UK prices I would buy one of each.

Don't look at the the prices people are asking , look at the prices they are actually selling for . There's a big difference

Gotta say there are some good buys around at the mo, but there normally is this time of year....as soon as the bad weather starts up the prices will recover a bit.

Yes I bought a swb with 55k for 350 prices have fallen. Thing is they're all getting older and until they become "classics" will follow this trend saw it with sierra's couple of yrs back cheap in winter price went up in summer then started rising all year round now one that's worth buying is a grand plus.

Price on the 'D's is likely to drop even more once the London tree huggers fav subject the LEZ gets going properly next year.
