Someone told me they are looking for a Zafira like mine and they coudlnt find a good similar example for much under £4k.. Which I thought was a bit of a joke so I had a look and surely enough the prices have shot up! For what I apid for my 02 Elegance I could get an old shitty V reg.

I'd say more VW tinted than VAG tinted.

I noticed the same about V8 Discos. Gone off the idea of buying one now but you could get a series 2 2001/Y for three grand. They're twice that now.

Apparently this recent increase is all down to that stupid scrappage scheme

Yep, means there are a lack of second hand cars on the market as they have all been sold for scrap

Good news for me selling the pug. Can get 6k for a 2 yr old 40k car Means it's cost me around 1.5k per year in depreciation.

Gives me chance to save some cash monies for a Honda Civic Type R in the newer shape.

chances of owning an S4 or an S8 or a Golf 1.8T

The American used market on the other hand... loads of classics escaped the Bangers for Dollars scheme and can still be nabbed for cheap
