Just valued my X reg 316i for �2100 and my V reg MGF
for ......................wait for it....................�550
guess i'll be keeping them too.

A 10 year 1.6 litre BMW for �2100, but my 8 year old 2 litre Alfa only gets
�835? What is the world coming to!

Reality...?

Parkers says
01/X 316i - £1950 px
02/02 156 JTS Turismo - £1190 px

So it sounds like a decent price for the BMW, but a bit low for the Alfa.
Not a great surprise, since it'll be far easier to sucker the typical
CarCraft muppet customer into some loopy finance rate with the 3 than the
Alfa.

They refused to give me a quote for a year 2000 and year 2002 car,
saying they don't give quotes for cars older than 6 years old, so I
wonder why they gave you a quote on an X reg?

It's an Alfa.

I have a friend who bought an Alfa. When trying to sell it second hand he
almost had to give it away

And mine is 2002 - 8 years old.
