I appreciate that you have never seen the car, but I cannot believe the
criticism in this newsgroup.

In my opinion, you have had very good and fair advice from this newsgroup-
although I accept it wasn't the news you wanted to hear.

I have had feedback
from the past from 2 garages, that it is in above average condition for its
year.

Sell it to one of them, then.

You have had good advice here. If you just won't listen, then that's your
funeral.. To check the true value of an old car, just look on ebay.

The fact remains that *any* car is worth *exactly* what someone will
pay for it. If someone can get more than *you* think some old shed is
worth, then more power to his elbow, I say.

Exactly!!

I would only use the term Ms if I needed to address a female that I did not
know if she was a Miss or a Mrs, and only as a last resort if I could not
find out for certain which it should be, as I have always though of Ms as
being pretty insulting.
Surely 'Ms' Crowe knows whether she is a Mrs or a Miss????????

Well, yes, but what business is it of anyone on here whether she's married
or not?

Do you put Mr J (married) or whatever when writing here?

Quite right. No matter how many garages tell him its better than average, or
no matter how determined he is to 'consider offers around £400', the car is
still only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
As Vince says, Ebay gives you a pretty god idea of what people are willing
to pay for things.

Sure, but my point is that if some fool offers him, say, £500 for it,
then good for him. OTOH, if all he can get is £150, then at least he
tried. I've certainly sold some well polished turds before now for
way more than they were really worth.

And 'Ms' is a recognised title for a woman anyway, is it not?

fair enough, but he cant stick an advert on Usenet, saying he wants £600 for
a £100 shed, then expect everyone else on here to back him up!
