How to price ...???

Apr 27, 2005 17 Replies

I have two old vehicles..



A 1990 Suzuki Swift and, A 1990 Ford Escort van



I have searched with Google and with others, but can't find any firm idea of the sale [ private ] value of these vehicles. There's just not enough examples out there. I cannot find any dealer or blue book reference to vehicles of this age.



Can any one please suggest an knowledgeable source that would establish their possible sales value ?? John Hewitt, Malaga, Spain


Don't know about Spain but try Autotrader or in my local area Trade IT

don't mention engine size or any other details so it might be a bit difficult to estimate.

they are well past the age of any trade interest you can of course pay on Parkers Guide site but unless they are mint and very low mileage don't expect much I see escort vans T&T of that age on my travels and they vary from £250- £500 not that they may really sell at that money Derek

Van, a surprising amount. Vans are always worth something unless they're completely dead.

Swift, naff all.

Anything around that age is worth about £250 tops in the UK.

Cue people haggling massively over the price of a 1990 Bentley Turbo R. :-)

AstraVanMan ( snipped-for-privacy@SwerveForeskinWeb.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

In news:Xns964675ABC1E15adrianachapmanfreeis@204.153.244.170, Adrian decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Pete M ( snipped-for-privacy@blue-nopressedmeat-yonder.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Remind me, Pete. What age is your Porker? I could even stretch to £275 for it, with some tax on it.

Oh dear...those bereft of common sense are about to stick their heads up above the parpapet.

Well, it's worth whatever somebody is willing to pay, personally I would offer no more than £250 for the VAN and no more than a pint of beer for the Swift, and that really is a serious valuation.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember snipped-for-privacy@arrakis.es saying something like:

50 quid.

50 quid.

Nah; only kidding. They'd be worth 60quid of anybody's money.

of course you get the occasional optimist and that with No mot and No brakes

Heh. Reminds me of the 1990 Astra I saw advertised recently - non-runner (head gasket failed), a snip at £250. Annanuvvafing - numberplate valued at £300? What can you derive from G23 ANK, given that turning the 3 on its side isn't allowed?

You got a point there mate but its just begging to have that done along with a transfer onto a beamer or maybe a Corsa makes you wonder who has W41.1KER doesn't it Derek

I know someone selling a 1990 Bentley Turbo R.

Its not quite right, and may cost a few quid to repair, perhaps you should wave a stack of 20's at my mate.

Bonus is that it has hydropneumatic suspension like my £100 Shitbox.

Douglas Payne ( snipped-for-privacy@cheerful.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

No, I'm not normally wise on purchases, but a flakey Turbo R is definitely a thing to avoid unless you like spending LOTS of money.

Umm, no, it doesn't.

The hydropneumatics were only ever a self-levelling assister to the coils on the back of Shadows, as well as the high-pressure brakes. I don't think it made it onto the Spirit/Mulsanne.
