Selling Price Advice

**AJA** · 2nd August 2007, 20:51

Hi ya peeps, I'm after some brutally honest advice about the price I'm after selling my car for. Once I find the right car I'll be firstly putting the Vec up for sale. If it doesn't seel it'll be stripped back to standard and sold as a standard car.

It's a 2004 SRi 1.9 CDTi 150
Approaching 65,000 miles.
MOT'd until June 2008
Taxed until end of Nov

I'm thinking of asking £7999 for her. What's the opinions of everyone here please? Too high or about right? Be honest peeps.

Being absolutely honest now, The Market is flooded with bog standard Very good condition SRi's, and they struggle to sell them, so i think you will struggle to sell your modified one, I know if i was looking for a new car, i wouldnt buy one that had been modded,

I would probably put back to standard as much as possible, and see what happens then.

Can you Part Exchange it on your next car??

Thanks for you honesty dude, much appreciated. To be honest I was thinking the same as you with regards a modified car not selling to joe public.

Looks like it's back to standard then.

you could strip it and sell the bits seperately, deffo get more money that way. Keep me posted on your irmy side skirts

if its any help Alex .....i bought my car privately last june with no mods just the snowflakes and being tinted...it had 8 months tax and only 20.000 miles on the clock ...first reg june 04 for £7.600. so personally i think your aiming a bit high.maybe better as you say stripping bk and selling parts ...then aimng for a lower price............but i must add its a stunning car.so could be worth a little gamble to start to see if someone out there might want a modded car as they cant be bothered to do the work

Standard cars in the autotrader are going for circa 7k, so I think you're about right dude.

From Autotrader price guide, not an exact science but an idea......

'04 Sri CDTi 150 on an '04 plate with 65k miles

Dealer £7,150
Private £6,500
Part Ex £6,045

Not nice figures at all m8
