Well, the world didn’t come to an end on Friday morning and now seems increasingly unlikely to.
 
So there was a mood of cautious optimism among buyers at auction today.
 
Enough for strong competitive bidding to take a smart 30k mile 07 BMW 320i M-Sport coupe to a close to trade book £15,600, though a same year SE with 67k miles languished at £11,800.
 
While a 43k mile 2008/57 Mondeo 2.0i Edge didn’t sell at a low £5,900, a 56k mile 08 1.8TDCI Edge made a healthy £7,450.
 
And Range Rover Sport 2.7 diesels seem to be coming back in a big way. The low spec 07 with 17k miles went for £23,100, but someone really wanted the high spec 07HSE with all the kit because that sold for £28,700.
 
(As usual, ‘s’ means sold. ‘p’ means top provisional bid, ‘pc’ means provisional, but close. ‘n/s’ means not sold. ‘n/w’ means miles not warranted. ‘MNW’ means unknown mileage. ‘dmg’ means damaged. D/R means damaged and repaired. ‘fl’ means facelift. Extras like ‘lthr’ and ‘sat’ are specified when they are not standard.)
