WHAT KIND OF PRICE CAN I EXPECT FOR MY 172?

[deetim2]

I am buying a BMW 330 Sport Coupe and need to sell the clio (kid on the way).

What kind of price can i expect. It on an 03 Plate, 72500 miles, silver, its been maintained well with a full service history (non dealer) and has had belt chages 7 weeks ago. its in decent condition with a few stone chips around the front bumper and minor scuffing on wheels with a good set of tyres and has a warranty untill December 08. MOT is due in May 09. Tax in October.

£4500-5k??

A caps lock button?

I'd of said about £4.8k, unless trading it in you'll be looking sub £4k easily.

 

[Revels]

£4k

 

[PH-QUICK]

your prob looking at £3-4.5K at the mo especially with the credit crunch.

 

[Steviant]

Join the club and you can do a proper for sale for it in the for sale section.
:star:

Well 02 plate 172's with that sort of mileage and history are going for less than 3k, so if you got between 3.5 and 4 you'd be doing well.

 

[AlexHealy]

Between £3.5k - £3.9k.

Check your local autotrader and see what they are going for in your area. Price accordingly. If you want a quick sale, price it towards the bottom end of the range, if you have more time, try your luck higher.
Ignore most valuations on here as generally, they always undervalue.

no need to shout mate.

its worth 4.5k all day long... BUT and its a massive but, due to the credit crunch and all that they just arnt selling (cars in general arnt) so you may have to drop it to 3.5k to get rid of it

 

[Gumby]

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Look at what similar cars are asking, but bear in mind that the asking price is rarely the price that the car will sell for.

 

[Ian_182]

Buyers market at the moment.You will strugle to sell it even if its cheap

 

[Kula197]

£3.5 - 4k tops in my opinion.

Exactly what he said

WTF are you talking about, why a silly post.
Laura has said the car is worth 4.5k which it is, but due to the current climate cars are selling for less, which she quite rightly said 3.5k.
so whats silly about that may i ask?

so she basically put what you have put but abit more long winded.

are you aware of what the term 'worth' actually means...?

it means value...so the cars value is dictated by the market...and the market values it at £3.5k

 

[cK]

The car is WORTH £4.5k but the market is dictating people to sell BELOW what it's worth for £3.5k.

 

[Perry]

It all depends what someone is willing to pay and with those kind of miles I'd be suprised if you got £4k at the moment - it just isn't worth it when you can get ones with more miles on for that kind of amount.

 

[Perry]

I know what you're trying to say - but there's no way a 172 with 70k+ on is worth £4500, especially one that needs taxing and another £115 spent on it almost immediately - doesn't mean someone wont pay it though.

Having been shopping around for a 172 or 182 recently there's many dealers with ones with 30k and 40k on selling for £5k and £4500 - that seems to be the top end of the market for a 172.

With the credit crunch and the new taxation classes (and the rise we'll see) then all 1*2's are going down and worth less - that's just the way it is. Pricess will bottom out somewhere, but they're not exclusive enough to keep top money when there's so much choice.

I love rclio2006, he only comes on here to say how much things won't sell for.

I'd go with about 4k, but as said maybe take a touch less if you want to sell it sharpish.
