Thread: What are P38As really worth

I have seen quite tidy ones go through auctions from $7000-8000 up to $13000-15000. Depends on the assembled potential buyers and who gets bidding. Dealers generally don't like them as they have a reputation for developing expensive problems. Dealers have to give warranty, and take out warranty insurance rather than carry the risk themselves. Some insurers want high premiums for these cars, or apply high excesses to claims. Some simply refuse to cover these and other cars of like reputation.

Almost literally peanuts . Just ask Scouse what he paid for his... .

I paid $14,800 for my 4.0 with 99 with Bosche ignition, leather and 130k km a month ago.

Cheers, Steve.

I'm now looking at a 1998 4.0 (not SE, so cloth seats) with 107,000km, full stamped LR history and later 18in alloys for just under $14k, by the time I change rego over from interstate.

This seems a fair price... I hope.

what's aluminium worth as scrap?

My insurance for my P38A is less than my wife's Foreester and they are insured for the same amount through the same insurance company. Excess is the same. Both are agreed value.

Brian meant WARRANTY insurance, for the dealer, as they (P38A) have lots of faults, the insurance is always coughing up the doe

Not vehicle insurance
