1988 240GL Value
Hi All. Had to give up driving in 2015 due to eyesight problems but have hung onto my above dark blue 240GL which I have owned since 1989 having bought it as an ex demonstrator with just under 6k on the clock. Over those years it has given me reliable every day service and has now done 206k. It has been dry garaged and I start it every couple of months and run it out onto the drive and warm it to temperature. With the battery charged it always starts first time. I have been reluctant to sell it just in case my eyes could be fixed, which unfortunately still seems unlikely. I have an enthusiast interested in buying it and I am wanting to get a feel for what range it might be worth so if anyone can give some advice I would be grateful.

I'm really sorry to hear that PTJS.
This price guide might be useful: I'd say (from what I've seen things apparently sell for - not ridiculous asking prices): a. Rough cars (anything with barn find in the title, cars needing welding to the sills or rear arches, MoT failures): make less than £1000. b. Middling cars: 1982 and later cars with 100-200,000 miles, a bit of history (maybe the past decade, the stuff before that is just for interest), a long MoT and no obvious welding or repairs needed: make £1,500 to £3,000. c. Very good cars: 1982 and later cars with less than 100,000 miles, full history, long MoT and in really good condition make £3,000 to £4,500. d. Historic cars (1981 and older) will generally make 50-100% more than the above categories. The above is just my observation of the market, it will not stop people hawking around rough cars for £3,000, mediocre cars for £6,000 or very good cars for silly money. I don't think they often achieve their asking prices and just spend months or years on the market until the owners give up. Good fortune with the sale, Alan
