have a look at the value of a standard car, then add probably £100 on top to give you an idea of the price

remember, not everyone wants a modified car, so you are reducing your customer base by selling it whole

stereo, exhaust, tints and air filter will not make a blind bit of difference to the price

justin (cheers for your help)

 

[Justin]

sorry yeah the cambelt has been done, along with new starter motor, and front brake discs and pads added last week

if u can get £1400 off him id take that tbh

also see if he minds u taking some of ur sound system with the car

i always keep my sound system when i sell a car because it adds bugger all onto the selling price and ud prob get exact same without it there at all

although as its a mate i guess he may want it?

 

[Justin]

yeah think he would want it, though will ask him. its not top of the range stuff anyway.. just have to start looking for a replacement now! lol

£400

^^^^^^^^^thats a bit rude really^^^^^^^^^^

earlier this year i sold my rt for £1900, couldnt really believe it

basically same spec as yours but with clifford alarm full service history and 91K on the clock, depends who the buyer is

Dont look at parkers, it is 6 months behind glasss guide, which is what we all use to value vehicles. Try and get onto the cap auction software or onto the glasss site for an accurate decision, failing that, ask your insurance company. As for what car? they are the bane of my salesmans life giving unrealistic and ridiculous prices. Be armed, dont be dissapointed!!!

If you can get anything about 1k id take the money and run!!

Very helpful

Id say settle for a grand minimum for it so advertise £1200 or take as much off your mate as possible if hes offering!

 

[Justin]

ok cheers, told him id take 1200 but he is sayin hell give me more if i want it, since he knows how well ive kept it...

 

[Djw John]

If only all buyers were like that!!
