Did i pay too much?
Answers:
If you are happy with it then its a good deal..as you have bought it now others opinions are unimportant..start enjoying the car and stop worrying if you may have paid over the odds.
I think you got a good deal
Yep.. Hey it's a Rover!!
good deal
Depends how long you keep it. If your happy with yhe car then it was the right price
Don't second guess yourself. It sounds like you got a fine car.
its simply a case of wether you think you got value for money or not, It sounds like its in nice condition so i think you did ok.
Its a difficult car to value after the crash of the rover group, but it should be good for another 5 years reliable motoring.
Well it is clear that you are happy with the car and it has pleased you in every way and it still looks great! The question of whether you paid too much is academic I am afraid but it seems the price was reasonable for a five year old car in great condition. Your concern really need to be what you may get for it if you sell it . Rovers are not on most people's wish list anymore. However, if you kept it for a few more years until the value became nominal ( and therefore of little importance ), you will have had great service at a budget price. That's the best way to look at it. I am afraid that no one wins with cars . they are simply an expensive necessary evil! Good luck
The price you paid sounds in the right ball park if it really is spotless. Although the mileage is a bit high.

The place you need to look is Parker's Guide - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-price. - they'll tell you!
Bear in mind you've done it now, so there's nothing to be gained by worrying about it ;)
Yeah you paid too much. I brought my wife a 5dr Rover 214 7yr old in excellent condition with 87000 miles on the clock earlier this year for only £500.
autoglass price for the car if it is a 1.6 on a 2000 w or x plate is 3300 in a dealer garage and 2950 private so the price you payed is about right
3250 could be just a tad high but.. If it is spotless, and it takes some care to keep leather seats looking great for 5 years that means the owner probably took the same care with maintenance and such. 67,000 miles is right for a car that has been taken care of and not driven constantly. Sure you could look at all of the listings forever but think of this. You could have paid less for a less well maintained vehicle but eventually repairs (especially on a Rover) would ending up adding up to close to what you spent now out the gate. Plus you wouldn't have a nice car to drive as you have now. So its all relative.
It's not so much what you paid for it, it's about what it is worth now. Rover is definitely dead-and-buried, so the resale value of your car has plummetted. Not a problem if you intend to keep the car, but financially a pain if you intend to change it soon.
Keep an eye of the head gasket and cooling system. Notorious weak-spot on these cars.
im sure some dealers will still be asking that sort of money for them but around the 2200-2500 is more like it.
Not a bad deal, did you get a warranty with it? I know for 65 quid a year you can get one from the AA which may be useful due to the problems you may have sourcing parts due to Rover being all but defunct now.
The only issue with Rovers now is the repairs and parts sourcing, which is why I mentioned it. You may have been able to knock 500 quid or so off the price 'cos of this but I don't think you've been conned.
sounds good to me but are you middle aged ??
