or is 323f's going up in price?

Ive managed to get a minter 4 years ago for under £400 and a zxi for £200 that cleaned up well and giving another zxi for nothing now when i look a goodish one is around £600-£800

I am looking everyday for a cheap good condition 1.5 for £500 or below as thats how much I see they are worth even the rusty arch ones are going for £700

Whats going on i want back in another ba!

I think they're about the same in my opinion, if anything my cars have gotten cheaper and I've bought a few BAs in my day, I think it depends on a lot of things BAs still vary in price rather a lot in my opinion £200 is a great price but I've bought a minter for 600 before FSH and all that crap... sooo many factors.

Lookout continues

Well they are getting pretty rare these days

They're stupid money round here too. Even a 1.5 with about 130k on the clock will still go for a few hundred quid. The nearest V6's seem to fetch well over a grand, even without being in great condition.

Getting more expensive?

My first BA 1.5 Thunder grey - £1800
Moby 2.0 Type R - £2000
Rogue beaten up 1.8 import - £400
Pyro Red Type R - £1800
Phantom 1.5 - £350

Nope, but I guess it depends on what you are used to paying (and what you are buying).

It's a lottery. Last month I paid £349 for my new zxi and had to swap the engine as it was shagged. Last week on e bay a mint zxi with 10 months mot went through for £260. I was gutted I missed it

Don't know how it is over there, but i hope the prices for BA's won't increase to the level they are here... if the BA's here would cost about 500£, I'd defo buy a second one.

1.5 BA's in decent condition are here about 1.500 - 2.000€
Below that price you would only get crap except you want to invest a high amount for new parts which are needed.
For a ZXi in decent condition you'll pay here about 2.500 up to 4.000€
and there is one guy selling a BA with KLZE engine for which he wants 10.000€... i think there's no one who would pay that price for it.

If i'm going to buy i second BA, i'd defo pick one up from the UK... much cheaper despite the import costs and RHD

Damm,that's a lot of money for old cars.

And let's not forget people BA's aren't exactly going to be future classics so they will pretty much keep dropping in price until you're upto the point of being able to buy them for about £200 - £300 like the BGs I nearly picked up a GT for £400 in very good condition only 6 months ago.

Mine was for sale for about 3 month before I bought it for about £800.
I offered the chap £600 or I'd walk and he took it

Seems to be a lottery, nobody has any money these days Dave. Bought my first rusty one for over a grand and never regretted it. Bought my 2nd with no mot or tax and NO RUST for a little over 400 and never regretted it either.

There are some beauty's that have not been sold which are worth less than the asking price in my opinion. Then you will see some monsters that have been sold for more than double their value.

BG's are now worth more than they were and quite rightly so, BA's are now the bottom end of the market. Lets face it who wants to buy a 17 - 13 year old car that MIGHT be a good but or might not. The BA V6 SE will be worth more than it was a while ago.

Ayep I've never spent a fortune on one apart from the lantis all of mine have been rust free and cheap as chips with no faults

Maybe ive just been lucky and expect too much for them

Fingers crossed mine will suit you mate....

although I'm not going anywhere... i fully intend to source another BA as a project as soon as I'm earning from my new business

This is the second BA (and by far the most fun!) i will have owned and regardless of future worth, it won't be the last!
