Just to put it all in perspective I paid £9500 for my first house, although 18 months later when my unfaithful wife legged it , I had to pay her £10,000 plus a 1960s Fiat 500 and a 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV, as half the assets.
Somehow, around £12,000 is a reasonable price for selling my car privately at the minute... That's what I paid in January 2022. But the issue being, any car I buy also has been inflated stupidly too :-/
Inflation was on the march even back then.
