Is it? Cars with 10k miles have sold for ~£1000-1200.... this could be in another league!

"minor attention needed to some parts"

In another words the brakes are seized up, all the suspension bushes have cracked/corroded, the fuel is stale so the car doesn't run, the fuel lines are perished etc etc. I'd be very wary of a car that had done so few miles, in fact I'd probably be happier buying a 100k mile car that's been well looked after!

Of course it could really be totally mint condition, but I still wouldn't pay £2k for a 340.

One word... bodywork, if it is absolutely mint then getting any 300 in anywhere near a condition will just cost much, much more!

Not justifying the price because for that money, it should be absolutely perfect, I'd missed that it needed some parts :(

If the body work is mint then I would say it is worth about £1000 to be fair. You could find it is only very minor bits needed so possibly worth a few hundred more. If I was looking for a mint 300 it is one I would look into further.

I cant see any reference un the ad as to whether this is a private sale or not.

I once travelled 90 miles to look at an 'immaculate/as new' 240 - to discover it was a trader selling from home. The floor had rusted through, the manifold was blowing and inside was so dirty it looked as though it have been used a a daily driver by a group of coal miners.

It's only worth what someone's prepared to pay. If it really is completely mint with just a couple service items needing replacing, 2k might not be too bad a starting price, but you'd want to haggle down a bit.

If the body paint & interior match the mileage (i.e more or less perfect) it's worth it, and worth icing away for another 20 years
