Todays Sydney Auction Prices & my observations (opinions!)

[falconboy]

Heres a quick list of Fords (with Crummydores thrown in for good measure as a comparison). No I didn't buy anything, although came very close to bidding for the Futura wagon with 67k on it.

Not too many irresistable bargains (in my opinion). Keep in mind 99% are with no rego, plus add 2.2% ($385 min) sellers fee, + $27.50 'admin' fee so probably looking at another $1k on top to get it on the road. The real cheap Falcons had 170K + on them.

A few of the 'cheap and nastys' today (although none looked that nasty actually)
94 Laser Liata LXI 223K - $3100 (looked pretty good)
97 Hyundai Lantra wagon 184K - $1700
93 Camry Wagon 139K - $2830
98 Toyota Vienta Vxi 165K - $4000 (not a bad looking car at all for the price)
96 Lancer 153K - $1700
96 Mazda 626 SDX 196K - $2600 (another that looked good)
95 Saab 900 160K - $1000 (passed in)
02 Ford AU3 Forte wagon 168K $3750

Problem with this place (Pickles) is because they leave the keys in, and I assume some of them sit for a while too, half of them have dead batterys (probably 25% of the ones I tried) which means you can't even start them up!

What I liked the look of (don't shoot me) was an 04 Maxima J31 ST-L with 31K for $13500. If you can get over the slightly different styling, this was a really comfy classy car inside. A bit grandpa ish though. I also liked the Subarus (04 Outback 110K $13850, 07 Liberty 34K $24000). A 98 WRX with 123k on it went for $9000. I don't know value of these things but I'm under the impression they are a little rocket and $9k was pretty reasonable)


Over and out.
