Unlikely. What would some random women know about the sump? I suspect they could be after a handsome guy.Presumably seduced by the contents of the sump being everlasting.

It's a 56, and its low mileage for age 104kHow long is long in tooth? Mine is 04. Apart from the car maker trying to recall it, it hasn't any problems. I am not selling it or let it recalled for any price and so don't know the price. I have random people on street or going pass my drive way asking if I want to sell.
My attitude to car purchase is to buy something that was a premium model in its' day & look after it. With both of us retired our annual mileage is low & fuel costs are something we accept in return for comfort. For the past 57 years the majority of my cars have been 6 cyl. powered, with a sprinkling of V8's, so anything with a consumption of 20+ mpg is a bonus
How very true, my old Range Rover has £600 worth of anti-corrosion treatment every 5 years, regular servicing despite low annual mileage & paintwork when needed. The car is now 35 years old, not bad for a model universally considered to be a rot-boxYeah that's why we bought our current car 11 years ago, we've looked after it but there is only so much one can do.
Supply & demand probably. ULEZ compatibility is also important to buyers in areas afflicted by such regulations.How come my 2 cars perfectly maintained with no faults and low mileage are the only ones not gone up in price???

My diesel Evoque that I sold just after I bought the A3 at the wbac price has gone down £400. The bloke who purchased it lives just outside the current ULEZ but will be in it if Khant gets his way.ULEZ compatibility is also important to buyers in areas afflicted by such regulations.

What cars do you have and what area do you live in?
Age, I suppose. When cars get to a certain age, unless they are a collectors item, their value bottoms out. I only know how certain cars have performed because I specifically checked them for one reason or another before the pandemic and subsequent chip shortage hit. Did you know what they were before the pandemic?'87 Range Rover Vouge & '98 BMW E39 523i

I don't think the pandemic had any effect on either of them though I admit to not checking the figures. I've had the RR for 14 years & watched it appreciate in value due to its' original condition, the BM has been under-valued for years though probably now at the bottom of its' price curve.Age, I suppose.

60k and 105k miles respectively.
I'm in west london, within the proposed Khant expansion.
I hope he goes to hell and burns for eternity.
Yes - its at best a 2+2 and the coupe has lower head room than the convertible. Plenty of 3 series and touring/estates going with that engine. Even the non-twin turbo 330d is petrol quick. The one series (my gf has one) is also a great car for families. 9/10 we take her 116d, which has. 2l Diesel engine and can manage 60mpg easy.Yeah I'm looking at one there, it's been up for a while (they've had it since April) and is the cheapest around, it's not quite the spec I'm looking for but I'm willing to compromise.
I've looked at the 4 series but unfortunately I need a family car, so it's the 3/5 series or the Jag. I don't like mercs, and I'm bored of Audi's don't like vw, seat, can't bring myself to own a Skoda (sorry badge snobbery). I'm not a fan of ford or vauxhall, and certainly wouldn't pay the prices being asked for them at present, Toyota and Honda etc are just plain boring and then leaves me with the Koreans, which imo are being charged at big money but are boring like the Japs.
I'm just amazed that used cars can sit for so long unsold and dealers are still thinking there worth a fortune.
