Finally, age and health conditions have caught up with me and I now find driving the Morgan to be a painful and difficult process. I took the leap and went to look at a more practical option at a local dealer with a view to trading in the Morgan. The dealer was very up front saying he wouldn’t be looking to keep the Morgan but would get it underwritten which may take a couple of days to work out.
I know this time of year is difficult but I was shocked when he came back saying that none of the UK Morgan dealers wanted it or would give a price and the only car trader that had come back to him had made an offer of £22K.
I was expecting a hit but that is bad. I need to review where to go next, the future doesn’t look good for ownership
Has Morgan desirability fallen that low, my car is a 2016 Plus 4 with 20k miles, FSH with power steering, air con, SSL suspension and every option on the Morgan list.
For such an excellent spec'd Morgan you should see much more than that, if you go for a private sale with a keen price. In fairness, I bought from a non franchised dealer my 2012 Plus 4 sport only 4800 miles for £24k in late August. Other similar spec'd car to mine where up for sale in Morgan dealers for £8k to £10k more than that, Might be worth considering going private sale route, You havetaken the first step by making it visible on here.
