Just an observation
Looking at the BECs and kitcar market on PH, and as long as the cars are below £7k they seem to be selling pretty well at the moment.
Just an observation
i was just thinking that and some of them are well over £7000
If you look at Ebay, Karts, rally cars etc all seem to be fetching really good money.
Strange!
Shame they weren't in September last year 
Fesycresy and I had this conversation just this week. I think our conclusion is pretty sensible.
While employment reaches 2m, and may rise to 3m, those that remain employed, and are not reliant on overtime payments etc could find thenselves with
much more disposable income.
Interest rates are close to zero which means that everyone on a tracker mortgage is much better off than say September last year.. Pump fuel is also
25-30% cheaper. General inflation is nearing zero also and many household items are getting cheaper. Hence the lucky ones have considerably more cash
on a month-to-month basis than they did and so may choose to buy more luxury goods, like kit-cars.
There's one other thing to throw in the mix. With the weakening of Sterling people may choose not to holiday abroad (£5-6 a pint anyone?) and may
choose to maximise their 'utility' by moving holiday funds into other domestic goods, such as kit cars.
When I read the start of the thread, I was going to post that me and you had a converastion yesterday about the same thing.
According to MCN, bike sales at a record high for January too !

Tim,
You car sold so quickly, it was well priced a bargain for someone with the time, but also I think you did ok out of it considering the"
apparent" market.
Bike sales are up, but there are some massive bargains to tempt you, I went into streetbike last weekn brand new gsxr1000 £7700 and 4 years 0%. Our
local landrover dealer has just had its best january for years!
It's going to be really hard to get BECs through IVA, so I suspect that prices for SVA-ed examples will start to increase substantially.

Why is getting a BEC through IVA going to be really hard? It's not difficult to fit some kind of reverse and a much larger silencer for the reduction in noise.
Don't get me wrong, I hope it does increase the second hand value of BEC's but I don't think it will.
