Hey all ,
Ok Im selling my car and despite the fact its the 5th vehicle I have owned I have never sold one before , only part ex'ed.
This time Im not buying a new one and the old lady regretably has to go.
Its a 99 , S reg 406 coupe.
3.0 V6 with digital aircon.
Silver , 152,000 miles.
I have a friend of a friend who runs a merc dealership and he gave me this info about what to try to expect.
Not quite sure what that all means but I reckon I would take anything between 1500 - 2000.
Now then , it had an immaculate service history when I bought it 5 years ago @40k miles.
Since then I have serviced it once @ 100k and nothing else , not even a cambelt!
I get a company car allowance from work and cars have never been much more than workhorses to me , hence me caring for it so poorly.
Im relocating abroad so it has to go and my questions are as follows:
Do you think its worth putting it through a service - considering its around £250?
There is a big scratch on the side done by my evil ex girlfriend.
Here and here any ideas what that will cost to fix?
Keyed down to the bone.
Tax is due end of june , I will be selling mid July , is it worth putting 12 months on instead of my usual 6? (MOT due end of sept)
Do you thnk any money I spend on it will just eat into my "profit" and I should just sell as seen?
I plan on a full proffesional valet before selling , is an engine steam clean worth it? How much will it cost? Will it get rid of apparent fluid leaks? (oil and P steering fluid)?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
