Default value of JDM's

Seems like JDM's are going for more than UK cars of the same age/ mileage? (judging by Man and J33LUS's cars in the FS section).

2000-Reg cars with between 88k and 35k miles respectively going for 14k, yet Neil (Bassoctopus) and other UK-spec owners seem to be looking for ~

Man's is a rare and much sought after colour.

J33lus has just been *very* optimistic

J33LUS is a joker at his price. I suspect he's trying to make a bit, or recover some having spent a lot on the car.

mytse's is a very rare colour and I sugestted he may be able to command a premium for that alone.

Fair play to both though. Keeping residuals high.

Worth = what someone will pay
