My 62k one went for just under 4k....WHich for me is about right......Suppose if you want the best low miles car then maybe someone will pay it............Suppose there will come a time when these cars will go up in price and become collectable....As good ones become harder to find........A while yet though..

At that price, I would expect the car to have arrived in concours condition.

(By comparison, I bought a 3-year-old V6, mint condition, in 2003 for nine grand.)

Maybe some mug will come along and pay it, they occasionally do - plenty of overpriced Masers get sold with a good bit of sales patter allied to lack of reasearch on the part of the buyer.

The trouble is you wouldn't be able to use it as the over inflated value is based on the lowish miles. I doubt it will ever be worth much more and your money is tied up in it until you can find another mug to sell it to years down the line.

Amazingoy enough i saw one in enfield yesterday (i have seen 1 or 2 in the last few years, they are rare) and it gave it some welly with an e46 M3 chaising it and i laughed and thought of you....
The GTV was silver and the M3 was estoril blue.....what a noise both cars made....

Now you have owned both so i want to ask you, which car made the better sound??

Hard one Dem...My GTV had a sports exhaust so added noise.....The GTV sounded good on start up with the exhasue where as the M3 sounds better when giving it some..............Two very different sounds but I think i prefer the M3 sound when giving it some as it's engine not a trick exhaust......Both sound great though......
