Don't know if anyone with access could do a price check on my car for me please? I'd be interested to hear what they say :)

Peugeot 106 1995 (N-reg) 1.4l petrol 3-dr Aztec

Anyone else is, of course, welcome to speculate :p

More details:
It's in pretty good condition. No evident knocks, scrapes, or bangs. About a year's service history :/
Had a new rear exhaust, CV gaiters and cambelt in the past year. 7 months' MOT, 2 months' tax. 10 previous owners :eek: :p

Any other relevant bits and bobs? Tyres are firm on kicking, btw :p

Cheers

No more than £100 for the car would I pay (and thats being generous), add on whatever for MOT/TAX on it.

I'd offer £200 or there abouts?
 
Cars like this sell like you wouldn't believe, if it's clean I'd definitely want in the region of £500 for it.

I expect it to be worth >£500 :)
The question is how much more :p

More than £500 for an ancient 14 year old banger with 10 owners and no meaningful service history? Put it on AT for £600 and see how many phone calls you don't get. I've seen newer 106s go through auction for less than £200.

Incidentally, what's with your weird obsession with smiley face icons? Are you a teenage girl?

I still find it quite a shame perfectly driveable and mechanically sound cars are worth bugger all over there, why isn't 99% of the population driving if they are so cheap, I mean, who on earth doesn't want to drive if a car only costs 200 quid, insurance and petrol :confused: ? Here they are up for €1000 to €3400 depending on condition, options and milage, with an average one costing about 1500€. When I was in the UK a year or three ago people weren't driving particularly nicer cars than here either, still a load of small old micra's, astra's, etcetc.

You're lucky to get ANY car for 500 here with ANY mot left, most cars up to 700 ish have no MOT and need work.

Just making it all nice and friendly ;):):):)
And yup, good nick + MOT. I'd be surprised if it didn't get through its next one without issue as well - that of course could be sorted by spending £40. Supposing it had 12 months MOT, would your opinion alter?

Hehe.

Well no because it would give you confidence that it's not about to die on you, over one with only a few months left.

I just proves that an MOT inspector issued a certificate on that date and makes the car legal for 12 months. It's no substitute for assessing the condition or service history.

Putting it through an mot for that price yourself would do the same.

But if you want to (and seem intent on) chucking money at other people for those principles then go for it.

(and an MOT is no way indicative of a car not falling to pieces).

You come for advice, and don't take it. And are happy enough with your own preconceived ideas.

Bye.
 
Any car with tax and a reasonable length of MOT is worth something. You can sell any old piece of crap for a few hundred if it has MOT. The car is worth £350 so if you get somewhere near that you should be lucky. Over 500 isn't going to happen.

I agree with him, 12 months MOT on a car like this is a major selling point. Remember you are selling the car to people at the extreme low budget end of the market. They are used to MOT being the end of the world. MOT time is when the car costs them £500 for overpriced repairs and usually ends up in it being scrapped. They are until then more happy to drive around in a falling to bits car.

Therefore a car in this market with 12 months MOT is perceived to be 12 months worth of motoring at the least.

It's WELL worth MOTing any car you are going to sell. Well worth it.

Well look who's up themselves. And no, I reject your opinion of my car's worth because you clearly don't have experience in this area - you have no idea how much it would sell for, less than me,and seem to be under the impression that the only people who buy cars are those who can tell if it's in good nick or not by looking it over. For the other 95% of people, having a decent MOT with few, if any, advisories is worth quite a bit of money - certainly more than the cost of the MOT.

Bye.

Your car? I thought you were looking to buy the car? Its not yours yet then..

How do I have no idea how much it will sell for? It will sell for as much as someone is willing to pay.

No but if you don't know much about it, get someone to look at it who does.

Whats the opposite of a decent MOT when its at home?

"having a decent MOT with few, if any, advisories is worth quite a bit of money - certainly more than the cost of the MOT." - WTF? The car is worth its weight in scrap metal, or what you would pay for it on the road. Having an MOT does not increase the value beyond the cost of having the MOT done.

Quite strange this, why don't you just go get your super MOT'd 106 then?

i am actually trying to help you not ***** money away for nothing (there is nothing wrong with trying to save cash unless you willingly want to pay more than you have too?). I got a bmw 318i e36 1998 in good nick for £450 3/4 months ago (mot bit less than 1 year, tax 3 months.)

I know what I'd rather get for that little pile of cash.

Aye, and mine while hardly a shining example of quality, is significantly better than a piece of crap,which is why I'm hoping for a bit more than a few hundred ;)

Thanks for putting that better than I could.
