I find it interesting how these threads become so emotive.
I’m just not sure is it is a form of ‘tall poppy syndrome’ that kicks in when someone claims their car is worth more than some others think it is worth? Or if it is some sort of public strutting of their bargain-hunting-prowess that kicks in, where others claim that they certainly wouldn’t pay that much?
Collectively, I would have thought that wishing and hoping that the seller gets a higher price would be good for all of us (as our own cars would also be worth correspondingly more too)? Maybe that’s the issue… some look at the advertisement (and proposed selling price) through ”buyer’s eyes” and bargain it down - even though they aren’t actually in the market.
At the end of the day, the car is worth whatever the buyer pays for it.
