Auction values

[jsa]

Quite a range of values for the three EsCos at the auction last weekend. Prices are at the bottom of the pics.

I think All cars would have did more on eBay

Possibly, 15% auction house buyer fees must have some impact.

Seems they are still doing good money
The car competition sites are also still paying decent money for them

Seems so, quite a spread over 3 cars at the same auction, so quite fickle.

Worst thing that ever happened was values going up.
Makes them hard to insure, hard to maintain and almost impossible to leave on a hotel car park over night and expect it to be there the next day.
Had values stay the same as 10 years ago I would have had a few and drive them daily.

i agree,oh for the good old days when i used to use mine for work and leave it parked in the street all day, knowing if the worst happened you could just go to your local dealer and buy another

Find them easy to insure got a good few of them and all insured for when travelling to shows and back

find a lot of people cashed in and can’t replace them is the only real problem for majority of people now it’s down to the enthusiasts that own them that will pay the money or keeping them as not in it for the money

insure them properly and if the worst happens your insured had 1 of mine at Bradford to a show last month drove it there and back 400 odd miles and loved it

LOL I used to use my cossie to Heathrow airport, and leave it in the public car park and go on business for a week or two. This was back in the late early 2000's. Now it sits in the garage.

Sorry mean't the early 2000's. Won't let me edit the post. Getting old. This website is running on fumes.

The hardest part is keeping up with the market for insured value. The local insurers don't seem to monitor the values outside of Oz, so it can take some effort to convince them

Agree the value does change what you're prepared to do with them. Most people here don't know what they are worth, so less likely to be pinched but I still wouldn't leave it in a public car park.

I reckon my Mk1 Escort is more likely a target because they are better known here. They have become an icon as well, so like all other icon cars it's no longer a daily or leave it in a car park somewhere.

I would love a blue or green left hooker big turbo car but yes the values are very high especially to import to the states, so I am on hunt for a SUN car
