I wonder. I'm amazed at how used car prices have inflated over the
past 15 years. I remember that in 1995, you could easily find 10-year
old cars with less than 90,000 miles for about £300. Nowadays you are
hard-preesed to find them for less than £1500. What is going on?
After all, new cars haven't gone up 500% over the past 15 years, have
they?

Dunno where you've been looking - high street garage perhaps?
The auctions are awash with bargain price 'recent' cars.

I dare say, but would you buy a car from an auction? I only ever did
it once. Never again will I buy a car without being able to drive and
test before I buy.
