Yikes--thought about p ex ing for a newer 4wd for missus ---2005 2.5 80k  looks and drives like new ---offered £ 1300. Can`t do it. its not neccessarily the money it just seems criminal for such a nice car. Think i`ll keep it and go with cash for a discount.

That's the right thing to do, Tom.

I think you might well see prices rise for well looked after s type.  There were less than 370k manufactured and over half of them went to the USA and Europe.

Peter.

Hey Tom,

Good call, in what type of crazy world is that car worth £1300! Must've been £30K when new and she looks tidy! Not a time to sell or PX an S-Type I think, and I'm sure Peter is right, they'll be appreciating soon .

Cheers, Russ

PS. I'm still hoping to add an X100 XKR coupe to the 'fleet', could be as early as the end of 2017, to coincide with my 50th in 2018. So hopefully these won't be appreciating to madly before I have a chance to get one! 

yes as said before-go for it.    Mines about to be  wrapped up for winter on trickle charge

Should've gone for it when originally discussed Tom, values on the 4.2 seem to be rising fast! Hopefully something will come up nearer the time, or if the right one comes up, I'll have it
