Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Trad prices ..versus owners dreams..

wow that is good value . Central Morgan still have my old "Brooklyn Edition" Morgan for sale here

The add is full of errors but if anyone is interested PM me you phone number & I'll call you It is a good example and as they have now not sold it in 5 months they could be after a deal.

That is a great car for someone looking for that little bit extra and a love of Autosol

Good evening All,

Reading through this all again has been insightful and hoping to get some guidance.

How does one know what is a realistic price for a Trad? I appreciate selling at this time of year won't help so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I've looked on CarandClassic, Autotrader etc for similar but per this thread, are those to be considered realistic?

I've come to the decision that it's truly time to move on as I simply do not use it. Love it to bits, but it's no longer the right tool for what I need.

Thank you,
Perry

I think the price you are asking is very realistic but as things are hanging in an unprecedented way right now (I don't see it changing) in the Morgan and toy car world.

If you really need to move on 32 would be more of a selling price and prepared to go to 30, painful as that is for such a beautiful well cared for car.

Good luck.

It's a topic that's been agonised over on here, at length.
The market (or lack of it) seems now to have stopped almost totally. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's almost as if price is immaterial, there just aren't the buyers.
Dealers won't buy cars for stock and the cars on SOR don't seem to be moving. Private sales perhaps have slightly more of a chance because they don't have dealer overheads.

A lot of sellers are advertising cars at what they used to be worth but that's unrealistic at the moment.
I think if someone really wants to move a car on they have to advertise it at a price that kills all the opposition.

A sigma 4/4 now needs to be sub £30k to stand any chance of selling.......
I accept that the 80th is a bit more special, but if there are no buyers all cars become equal and the seller willing to drop the most is the one who makes the sale.

Extras, history and low mileage don't make a car worth more nowadays, but they might make it slightly easier to sell.
Any price achieved today may well look impressive next spring if the market keeps falling........🤷🏻‍♂️

That all sounds a bit miserable doesn't it, but the old days of rock solid residuals are over.

Doesn't sound miserable whatsoever. Thank you for your input.

It's your's for 31 Richard

If I had the garage space I would be sorely tempted Perry as it's in my favourite colour and they are a very special edition

Too kind Richard.

Once again, thank you both for your input. Time to get my ducks in a proper row.

I'm in a similar position. I shall wait for spring though.
