Prices up!
« on: February 11, 2010, 09:47:24 AM »
Just been looking at this months Practical Classics Magazine.
In their used car price guide they have given the 126 an upward arrow and put the prices up

 They might have given it an arrow up, but still the top mark they state is £900 which is supposed to be for superb condition example ??? I think you would need to be very lucky to find one like that for this kind of money nowadays.

They could do with some update. There is no way to get mint car for £900 :) just no way at all. I supose it is close to 2K now and with dinner coming (hopefuly) in it will only be more I think.
Such a thing as Fiat 126p will never happen again to this planet... Love it.

You're right. They're experts on MGBs and such like, but don't seem to be in touch if it's not run of the mill.

the rating on practical classics is not for a mint car but for an honest car with no major faults and mot d. as per the title of the mag it lives in the realms of good usable cars. if you want price guides for museum / show cars go to www. i have acarlockedupinmygarageandneveruseit.not.com......

 All I meant is there was quiet a few cars recently which sold for around 2k. Even bis. I can`t imagine all of these were mint or museum standard.

Thats just being greedy  >:(  Plenty of scope for you there Jan :D

Darrel was looking for 126 windscreen, but the same expensive company is selling 500 windscreens £185

while the other expensive company on Ebay are selling the same 500 windscreen £99.95p  WHY!!! It pays to shop around.
