Is now a good time to buy a V8
I like always have always wanted a V8. I loved my CDTI but lets be honest the V8 is what it is all about.:drool4:
There are two on offer at the moment, one just over 5k and one just bellow that I am thinking of going to view, both seem honest enough but the truth is I am getting worried if now is the time to buy.:confused: Initially I thought the prices seemed fair but most people on the forum seem to be saying 4k is their present value and I have just been on Parkers and it gives the following values on a 55 plate 80,000 miles with SE spec: Original Price £33,495 Franchised Dealer £2,055 Independent Dealer £1,810 Private Good £1,570 Private Poor £1,150 Part Exchange £1,245 The question is, is now a good time to buy and what is the true going price of a good V8.:shrug: I don't want to pay circa 5k today and find it is worth 1k in twelve months time. My CDTI obviously depreciated but I did quarter of a million miles in her, a V8 would be very low mileage. |
there's Plenty on here, who will undoubtedly give their opinions on the Value.
However, it all depends on if they're selling or buying. |
there is no way a v8 will be worth 1k in a years time unless it was a complete wreck
|
Until Parkers start selling cars you have to take their values with a pinch of salt - it's a guide, but I doubt the V8 will be at £1k in the next 3-4 years.

OK, that's good< but what is the right price today? :shrug:
|
If you want it, then buy it, lifes too short innit.... :}
Monetary value only matters if you are looking to sell it for profit.. ... |
IMO there's no right price. If you see one at a price you can pay go for it. I did and paid a sum of money that some said was too much but now in my second year of ownership and never regretted it. Too many say they want one but never actually buy one

If you can afford to fuel it then it's always a good time.
I'm on my second and I love it, it's so different from the a FWD ZT. As for price, there aren't many about, if you buy cheap you will end up spending money on it, a well maintained one is the way to go ... |
Well December/January is always the best time to buy a car, because it's the time when demand is at it's lowest! ;)
However, it's finding someone willing (or desperate) enough to accept the lower price that the demand dictates! :( As far as V8 values are concerned, you may want to PM me, as I have my own views on there values and there are a lot of factors that affect them! ;) |
