I've never understood the sellers psyche around POA. You have something you want to sell but you don't want to tell people the price. WTF is that really all about?

It makes me think that if I turn up in my Roller with a gold rolex the price will be double what the thing is worth. If I turn up in my fiesta with a timex I'll not even grab the attention of the sales guy. Complete and utter bolloxy nonsense.

You either want to sell the damn thing or you don't. End of.  POA just puts me off even asking for the price to be honest as I just find it a totally anal approach. Can someone enlighten me as to why I am wrong?

 

 

[jep]

Agreed. And very unlike PM Sports Cars. 

It's not as if it is a particularly unusual M100 in terms of very low mileage or provenance. Mileage is not especially low and a few turn up regularly with circa 20,000 miles. What must my 9,000 miler be worth? 

Odd.

Gotta be worth £POA for sure...

[jep]

If only to annoy @exeterjeep 😄

[Rambo]

POA is a PIA !

So, let's have a guess shall we? Nearest to PM's actual price wins a free and very rare LEC M100 sticker from my collection. I'll phone up Paul on Monday and I'll be the arbiter of this competition

Answers on a postcard please.

PS and anyone else who would like a very rare sticker, I'm afraid its POA 😉

[C8RKH]

£18k

[Rambo]

Sounds in the right ball park for PM.

I do wonder whether PM is selling on behalf of a long term client, rather than part of his own stock. Perhaps that could account for the POA?

It depends how clean it is underneath. Assuming it is clean but not exceptionally to suspension, £17995. If it is super-clean and shinny, £19,995.

Ok, I'll have a guess at £18500, on the assumption the whole car is a good as it looks. There is a low mileage (17k ish) white one at nearly £18k, which has been on sale for some months. There is a red one where the ad says long MOT, but the MOT expired in January.

PM's cars don't seem to hang around as long. Think the one that Cropley had was in and out in around a month or so.

Can't be more expensive than Justin's????  How much is that.....straight swap for an Evija?

The one in Taunton at 5.5k, had a bid on but has been retracted.. 

[jep]

Don't forget the green Aussie import with 9,000 miles at £28k. 

I'd be happy with £20k for mine and it is near mint underneath, really clean with factory marker pen writing still showing.

I may revise this price in a few months...down if WW3, up if M100 continue this surge.

Retracted or rejected 🤣🤣

I think I may need to increase the GV on my 2 come renewal with FJ on 01 April. Currently 12k and 14k. The Black Beastie certainly needs to go a shade higher. The Naefuck Custard may stay the same

[MPx]

I'll go lower...£16995

petty cash sort of price - less than 1 year warranty on a pram (MCL..)

[exeterjeep]

The red one in Taunton ended at £5600. No last minute bidding frenzy.

[exeterjeep]

So @Rambo is the POA cheap/middling/expensive???

Oooops, sorry, I forgot to phone 🤬

[Rambo]

I need to sit down, I'm still in shock 😯

[Barrykearley]

[exeterjeep]

Must have passed out, or stopped for a cup of sweet tea and some toast.
