Hi :) hope everyone is well :),

Today while trawling a few garages looking to p/x the cat for a streetka or sportka, the cougar received some recognition from a well known reputable indipendant car sales place. He commented on the fact that him and his colleague had both been looking at it while parked up and that it was in superb condition and upon closer inspection said they will soon become collectable in good condition regardless of the mileage...
After looking at a few streetka's and finding stupid faults i.e alarm going off constantly, roof bin not unlocking and torn rear windows for aroubd 1500 to 1600 quid.
My parents said it would be like having a capri in a few years time.
Becoming rare and in demand

I was looking for a sportka or streetka due to insurance reasons but at the moment can't decide if it worth the extra cost in tax and the extra on the insurance.

Whats it worth?
2.0 125k miles partial service with all old mot's and loads of receipts for parts etc. Was imported from jersey in 2007 absolutely no rust underneath or anywhere including no rust in the rear wheel arch areas that can be seen behind the rear door cards.
Will have 12 months mot on it soon, taxed. Full black leather interior all working.
Will soon have the concept rear S spoilers.

How much do you think it is worth?

I don't see them becoming desirable for a long time yet, Probe prices has only just started to lift and they have a good five years on us.

Cougars are pretty much at rock bottom at the moment, I've seen cougar bangers reach more on eBay than good cars
 
I'd hang on to the Coug if it were me, much better car than a Ka, they rot like a half eaten apple, at least a good majority of the ones i see through work seem to have done...

I got my zetec via the trade in Dec 2012 for £750 with 38,500 miles. values can only go up from where they are now, well thats the theory
