300 prices vary vastly. milage isnt much of a problem for 300s - i've seen a few with over 200k on them, and i've owned one myself with 185k on the clock. the main problem is rust, which will kill any 300 in a second. different cars fetch different amounts of money, and valuation is very difficult. unless a car is completely and utterly faultless in every way (ie showroom condition) i'd struggle to justify over £300 on it - i got a 360 glt a while ago that was virtually spotless for £220.. is this the one on autotrader?

oh dear...do we really have to open this can of worms again! there has been some heated debate on the value of 340's, in my opinion, the car is worth exactly what you think its worth. its 'value' is a different thing altogether. there are several on the autotrader from 200-800 odd quid!! ya pays yer money and takes yer choice. enjoy the car whatever ya pay for it, thats what its all about after all!!

If it's absolutely rust free, and in excellent condition in general, I'd value it at up to £500. That's not to say you couldn't pay £50 for it if you were lucky.

Low mileage isn't all it's cracked up to be on these cars - good maintainance is well worth paying for.

cheers

Forget about the car, one should be able use an A reg everyday, we have a perfect 1991 340, and I know that if we look after it well it will still be on the road in 10 years times. Don't go for the first one you see or you'll be sorry.
Good luck
