My experience of viewing other cars is that 'sensible offer' is all too often used to mean an extraordinarily high price for a given condition.

The phrases used by Scottish estate agents of 'offers in the region of . . .' or 'offers above . . .' give a prospective viewer some idea of whether it is worth going to look at a car or not.

Just my sensible-pence worth.
