the price of 2nd hand cars

[dandan]

what is it with the price of 2nd hand motors???? i remember a couple year back being able to pick up a half decent motor with 70k 90k on the clock full mot, history, tax for around 500quid, looking around cars are fetching £300+ more than they used to, and what is it with cars with 200000 miles or more on the clock fetching a grand or more?? i cant understand why people would even look at a motor for 700 with no mot and 150000 on the clock, am talking cars from 1998 thru to 2001, nothing special, passats, xantia, 406, even audi 80, all these diesels and estates, having a change of mind on what to buy seeing as i cant find what am after........bloody scrappage scheme at a guess
