Anyone been through Pickles or Fowles lately? How cheap can a cheap 380 get?

Might be in the market for one in a little bit, and it will probably be only needed for a year or so and then sold on again.

You'll lose money when you sell it.

If you buy one run it till it's scrap metal is the best policy.

I wouldnt think a base model 380 price is much different to a base model commodore of the same year at auction

Hence the desire to spend as little as possible. Trust me, driving french cars has well exposed me to the concept of insane depreciation!! At least a Mitsubishi is easier to unload than a reno...

And if it can be had cheap enough, losing some wont worry me so much.

Had a look at pickles auctions earlier today...nothing really extraordinarily cheap. I've seen better private prices to be honest

Yeah, they're the fixed price auctions. Was just wondering if anyone had heard what they can go for at a normal auction.

Saw a hail damaged low kms SX go for $5000 recently, but was pretty bashed up :)

mine went for 7500 hail damaged, wasn't that bad but.
also had my car valued at a yard, apparently a 2007 65k black, manual, leather equipped 380 is only worth 12k, so theoretically a 05 es shouldn't be fetching more that 9 or 10k?
