How much is this worth?

Hi chaps,

I am selling my Mazda 323 and I have been offered £1800 for it.

Its a 52 plate
29k
Auto
Metallic Red
FSH
Alloy Wheels
Air Con
Owned in the family since new

You get the picture, I was hoping for more like £2,500 or am I dreaming?

It does need a new lambda sensor but apart from that its perfect.

What do we think?

£2500 doesn't seem unreasonable given the history and low mileage which a lot of people like. It depends on if you are after a fast sale or if you don't mind waiting a while.

I do need to get rid of it really but I don't wanna let it go for peanuts!

£1800 looks a little bit low, but not by much.

Because, as we all know, parkers valuations are spot-on, and not plucked from thin-air.

Beats leaving the guy to guess. Thanks for your valuable input.

Given the parkers link you gave was based on an average of 80,000 miles, you might as well guess.

The only accurate way to get a car's valuation is to either see what similar cars are currently selling for, or at a push, glass' guide.
