anyone got access to valuation stuff?

Hello all

My Dad's missus wants to sell her 52 plate, Seat Arosa 1.4 Sport (the one with the exhaust in the middle) 64k miles, sunroof, 3 door, yellow, cat1 alarm.

Can anyone tell me what it's worth please? I put it at roughly £1700 tops?

Thanks

Or you could sticker bomb it, give it some stupid number plates and get £3k for it -> http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3229196.htm

Realistically, I'd say £1500-£1800

Mine's gone up in value apparently! £4,040 for private sale, hmmm.

If you msg me via trust I can send you a decent valuation.

Will do later when I'm at a PC, thanks.

Turns out it's a 53 plate btw.. silly man. He's made me advertise is above what I would consider market value, but it seems to be cheaper than a lot of the dreamers out there. Some are advertised for over £3k, nearly £4k! We've put it at £2550 for now though on eBay, and Pistonheads. Hopefully being a fairly rareish car it sells well.

Seems a bit low to me, my car hasn't lost £6k in 5 months for sure!

£23k down to £17k.

Not sure how good the vauxhall value my car is anymore http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/offers-finance/value-my-car.html. It used to be via glass's but looks like it has changed.

Gives trade in as circa 1.1K so private sale 1500-1800 at a guess.

ScoobyDoo69 · 24 Oct 2011 at 12:17

PMKeates did a proper valuation for me and it came out quite a bit higher than expected. So the price I've advertised it at, for my Dad, does seem about right. But the price is right based on if it actually sells.

They're not

Citroën Xsara Coupe 2.0i 16v VTS 3dr 2002 (02) 61,000 miles
Dealer £2,190
Private £1,935

I'm struggling to sell my car for £600, never mind £2000!

Whereas..

BMW 3 Series Coupe 335i M Sport 2dr 2008 (58) 26,000 miles
Dealer £19,840
Private £19,135

I'd have been crying into my cornflakes if that was accurate

WTF, it doesn't even show the right year for the 3 Series. It shows:

"BMW 3 Series 91-01"
"BMW 3 Series 98-07"

:confused:

E36.

"BMW 3 Series 98-07"

E46.

Not sure why?

For example while the e90 did come out in 2005 there wasn't a coupe or cab till late 2006. Or an M3 till 2007.

Must be a handful of 2007 registered e46 m3s out there

[TW]Fox · 25 Oct 2011 at 07:40

It was the e46 Cab that continued until 2007.
