"Current Listings"
It's very difficult to use a chart to determine the value of any classic car. A classic car, whether it be a Rolls Royce or an MG, is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. This varies a lot by how the economy is running. I was offered $20,000 for my 72 MGB. Is it worth that? It is to the person who wants it, but there is no chart that says it's worth that amount. There are to many variables when purchasing a classic or antique car. I go by years of experience, Never buy sight unseen and if I don't know a particular car, I'll have an expert who does look at it with me. Sorry but, charts are for new or almost new cars!

Hi Paul,
I agree completely. That's why I said this is useful for researching asking prices. If you're looking to buy a parts car and you think you're going to have to pay $3000 for anything useable, you might look at the Free version of Current Listings and find to your pleasant surprise that parts cars generally go for a lot less than that. You can then adjust your expectations accordingly.
Here's another example. Say you have a 1979 MGB LE in good, original condition and you think it's worth $25,000. You may look and discover that your expectations may be a little too high, that LEs are not really Limited and that many LEs in better condition can be had for $10,000 or less. Again, you could adjust your expectations and your pricing according to your opinion considering the new information you've become aware of.
It's a tool - a really good tool - for building our understanding of MGB pricing. But like mechanical things, you probably need to make use of a few _different_ good tools if you're doing anything complicated.
Take it for a spin and see what you can do with this tool!
