whats your car worth

35 is about right for a thoroughly sorted car.  

Some seem to go for more than they'd be worth, like this one (if it did actually sell that is):

I'd be wanting a pretty immaculate car for that money, and know of a much better one going for less.

I picked up this original yellow V6 GXL for $13500 the other day - very happy - obviously has all of the later good gear - given that price -  its hard to know what they're really worth (have a set of rebels for it - those mags look clunky) 

Ha ha - AUD - yes very clean. Driving the blue one I have is a very different experience to this one. I've put the 2.8i swaybar, koni's, uprated springs and factory power steering etc in the blue one - it's so much more stable on the road. Tracks really well. This one is v 1970's to drive, very butch! (makes a big difference on a long trip). (This one does have some real bite though)

Hey v8gt,
 
you mussana read the part where I said......."".....not a cent under $45k, EVEN IF I WANTED TO....""......
 
(which I never would in the forseable future)
 
I love her so much I wouldn't sell her for $45K even if someone was "richer than Bill Gates" and wanted my GTV6.
 
So in a way ur right........I am dreaming that I'm one lucky guy to be driving a rare Mk1 165HP GT V6, plus 2 more
 
Ford V8 Muscle Cars till the day I'm too old to drive, which I dream will be a hundred years away !!!

Yes exactly Foxy Capri !  ..........people will pay according to how bad they want it and how rare it is..............and then you get millionaires, or very wealthy, or sugar daddies, willing to outbid or GUZUMP everyone else and make outrageously high $ propositions to blow the competition away because they can afford it.
 
Who would ever think a guy would pay $5,500.oo for a Brand new OS still in box XB GT Radiator Grille ! ....... and some other guy asked me to remove a HK Monaro Wheel arch mould(new o/s) from ebay and came along with $1200.oo cash for what was originally $15.65 ! ............year in & year out I see people paying "drug money" for exclusive one-off items we'll never see again. He drove his 2nd car, a magnificent as-new genuine SLR5000 from SA to Melb to pick it up !
I approached a few Plastic Manufacturers, big and small, thinking I could reproduce the XB GT Grille from the new one by the dozen or even hundreds...............$30,000.oo was the cheapest starting price just to make the "dies" for any amount from one upwards ! ..........and then without considering fees Ford would want as "royalties" per unit !
Too risky: how many could I possibly sell , and at what price ?
 
If you have something super-rare, and one only, why sell it dirt cheap and have "seller's remorse" when there's millionaires/very rich/sugar daddies  out there willing to pay drug money ? .......unless you're very rich and dont need the money I guess.
 
One dose of "seller's remorse" was enough for me; I still pine after my HK Panel Van/Monaro 20 yrs ago  

I paid, by my estimations, $5000 over the odds recently for a capri I really wanted.  As its one I wont sell on, I just sucked it up and looked long term.  
 
Selling cars, its a Want to sell versus Need to sell situation for people.  The GXL above is no doubt worth more than the purchase price, but, most likely the seller needed cash right now versus waiting for offers and dealing with the open market (tyre kickers as they were referred to elsewhere above).
