Will be interesting to see what prices the sales are at.

Cars from the '80s and '90s are hot at this year's Scottsdale auctions | Fox News

 

the fact that they talk about our models says something. Will the values shoot up, prob not, but they are on the collectors radar.

 

Been watching the auctions all week,
$12,650 for a 97 XK8 with 64K miles
$18,700 for a 2000 XK8 with 30K miles
$25850 for a 98 XK8 with 28K miles
$33000 for a 97 XK8 no miles listed

 

I recently looked at a '98 XK8, with 6,800 ORIGINAL miles, not running. Owner said it had been in long storage. Asking price was $9,000. I managed to locate a battery and got it to turn over, everything came on, no fire. Gas gauge was at bottom so, probably no gas in tank and tank probably needed removed & cleaned.


The car had a variety of cosmetic issues, gas lid stayed open, top pump had been removed, lines still disconnected, etc. BUT, it did look like new and am certain the mileage was accurate. Man's uncle was rich and had 45 cars or so and had passed away.


I wanted to buy the car but didn't have the money!!! Body was perfect as was the interior, just needed the fuel issue resolved and TLC.


6800 original miles! Can you imagine?!!!

 

That is some high prices for them even at those low miles. That is good.
