Is this the right price?

[munk]

Hi guys-

Decided to sell my car in the end- clutch is just too heavy and my knee looks like a tennis ball now!

I have a 2005 05 1.2 16v expression with 29k- its in mint condition despite the slightly high miles (all motorway- so explains the condition) - would i be right in thinking that £5500 is a reasonable price to expect for it?

Also - how can i advertise it in the for sale section... is it by mod aproval only?

Cheers. Dave

How can it be a problem if you do motorway miles why do you use the clutch so much?

Thanks Edde- a star as usual!

Its a prob as i live in the center of leeds, city driving doesn't really consist of too many miles, but i can be stood on a busy day for an hour or so in traffic- then i get a swollen knee. Its getting to be too much now, i tried having it converted to qs5- need a new ecu, tried a duck clutch - need £1500 to do the job- so have decided to sell it to try and raise enough to buy one of the citroen sensodrives as the box is a robotised manual so doesn't creep (can't stand autos that creep)- not an auto box with a torque converter with the optional ability to select gears.

Trapped a nerve- it hurts to press the clutch. As pansy as it sounds its the truth!
