Quick valutation please..

[Griff]

Just want a rough idea on value from you experts...

Clio Renaultsport 172 Cup registered March 2003

Covered 15,500 miles.

12 months MOT (done this morning a month early)

Inside and Out are immaculate. (Few stone chips but having these repaired/removed)

Think that's all that's needed.

So what we looking at for a private sale? £7750?

What about a part ex price, any differance?

 

[Lagerlout]

No chance. 7k tops.

 

[Ad]

aye id say 7k would be about right. the mileage is nice and low, but you really dont get much more for it. maybe 7250 at tops. expect a dealer to offer you around 6.5k.

 

[sh33n]

I'd say 7k

f**king Renault residuals!

Don't sell it, and you won't have to worry

 

[Griff]

cheers peeps.

Had Clio's for the last 5 years (MK2 172 and then the Cup) added to the hassle over this time with dealers and warranty issues I fancy a change.

CTR 30AE all being well.

6.5K If your lucky ^^^^^^^

I was offered 4k for a mint 51 plate 172 ff , got £5900 for it private

Part exin on a new car they will offer you silly low prices for yours .

MrBillyUK !

I've just gone through the process of buying a Cup. There may indeed by Cups out there for 6.5k private but all the ones I went to look at were priced like that for a reason!! If yours is as good as it sounds hold out for a higher price (7.5k at least).

There seemed to be a lot of buyers after Cups in particular when I was looking and on a number of occassions Cups I went to look at had sold by the time I got there.

If you're in no rush hold out for a good price, buyers are there

I was going to say the same thing, you get what you pay for in this world. The cheaper ones are cheap for a reason (most are prob well rough) sure you might be lucky & get a mint cup cheaper than a worse example.

If its is a decent one shove it up ofor more money. There are loads on autotrader for around the 8k mark!
Not saying put it up for 8k, but i reckon a bit over 7k would be a start.

People on here are there own worst enemy for residuals...

Check Autotrader for similair cars local to you.

There was some fella going on about how he reckon a 22k 52 plate Cup was only worth 6k the other day....

Agreed!

Id put it up for 7500, then knock down to 7250 if no response.

 

[Bluebeard]

If it came into my garage, i'd offer 6250 cash buy, 6500 part ex.

I'd laugh and walk out. Nothing personal.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

And how much would you expect to get for it on your forecourt ??

MrBillyUK !

 

[Griff]

lol Exactly why I said I'd walk out.. He's going to give me £6250 and 10 minutes later have it marked up for £7250 on his forecourt.. Not with my car!!

Your right mate . Some people haven't got a clue , some are priced miles under .
Always price it a couple of hundred over and be prepared for the haggle , price it under and your giving it away .
Alot of people say that the new rs clio will affect the price of 172's / 182's but imo i don't think it will . There will always be a steady flow of people who want these models over the new mk3 rs :

1. because they can't afford a new mk3 rs

2. because they don't like the new shape .

MrBillyUK !

 

[Dave]

Which means you should get at least 7k for it.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Thats the way it goes though , sad but true . Some people want the convenience of a quick deal , part ex for new .So they have you by the short and curlies and give you well below the market value . Thats how they make their money
Privates sellings the way to go , but once your cars gone it can be a struggle for some people to view cars that involve travelling .

Its true. Any car on a forecourt is overpriced cos someone is making a profit out of it. I want to be buying the car from where the trader got it, not from the Trader.

However, a lot of people on here undervalue their cars... They base them solely on what they go for on ebay... It may take a few weeks to shift a car like a Cup, but it will go. Its the same with any higher performance car...

 

[Daz_172]

I'd say 7k

f**king Renault residuals!

Don't sell it, and you won't have to worry

he will have to worry because next year it will be 5k

very true if a b*****d garage can sell my car for a grand more than me why cant i? im not going to sell it for lower,id sooner have it for sale for 6 months! at least ill get an offer nearer that price than knocking off a grand because its a dealer, so what? they dont do anything that i dont or havnt already done to my own car, they cant even clean them properly.

 

[clarkiev6]

they might keep them in stock for quite a while...+ dealers have to warrant the car... if you buy private and it has been hit or has finance then you have no comeback...at a dealer they must give you your money back.
we all have to pay 17.5% vat on any profit ..so 175 quid to the treasury as soon as sold ( if a grand was made)...most people want a new mot / tyres brakes etc...average profit is @ 400 quid.

My mate recently bought a 172 Cup. Was new in December 2003, so a 53 plate, and has done 12k. He paid £7750 for it, and that was from a dealer (not Renault), which included two new tyres and a service.

Hope that helps price yours.

i just paid £6400 for a 172 on a 51 plate - 22k one owner full history with all toys
interior and exterior are absolutely unmarked - if you took the plates off you'd think it was brand new - only the kerbed alloys give it away. was up for sale at £6900

i looked around and couldn't find one for below £6500 and they were higher mileage.

guess it depends the area, seller etc.
