[Flame172]

Sorry to ask...

given my notice at work, fed up and decided in 6 weeks to go to Australia for a year...

So here goes...
£1500 miles
57 Reg
Liquid Yellow
No climate, or folding mirrors...

What do you reckon guys

 

[JaysClio]

wow? just like that? your going to pack up and just sod off for a year? That take some serious balls mate. Fair play to you, wish i could do that.. I and just bollockless!

I wouldnt really like to guess as im probably way out, but about 14k?

 

[.GAZ.]

12/13k

 

[sh33n]

Quick sale 12k I reckon.

Might be worth calling some dealers to find out Part Ex values.

 

[Gareth]

somewhere between 13k/14k IMHO.

 

[scott7912]

I was just lookin at prices last night and there going for anywhere between £12000 and £14500, my mate has been thinking about getting one but bit too high prices.

 

[Flame172]

Yes just like that... my mates are out there at the moment....
14k is too much... would be nice but cant see it myself

 

[Flame172]

12.5k in my opinion is fair

 

[Clgale88]

Pictures of it

 

[Flame172]

havent got no pics... just picture a yellow 197 and you've got it

 

[Steve]

R27 57 Red all options sold for less than 12K, with 2400 miles.

He got offered less than 11K from a dealer

 

[Iridium]

Pop it on Pistonheads at £13k, take £12.5k and it'll sell in a week. They're not handing around for long. There was a red one with a very similar spec to yours, went for £12.5k in 2 days. Infact because yours is yellow, I'd put it up at £13,250 and take £13k I reckon. I think it'll sell no worries with that mileage. What number is it/build month if you know? Does it have the revised 'box?

[Poopensharten]

I recokon you will get fed up of all the fake tits and ass and cold beer and decide to come back to this shithole that is Britain.....lol

 

[Flame172]

Strangely enough i dont know what number it is... i know my V6 was number 57... not that it helps...
and wasnt it the later ones that had the revised boxes...
well good news if i get 12-13k... think theres still a demand for these...

fake tits and cold beer sounds a nightmare

 

[r27sport]

if i sell my car at the weekend i would give you 12 for it

 

[Strell]

Have a look at what number it is please as i may be interested.
What extra's does it come with? Xenons etc

My advice is dont ask ANYONE on here! My bet is put it up for a high price. Its a desirable car, you can only get yellow on the R27. Try your luck. I know its high but if i was to sell mine now id put it on for £16k, mines got the full options list and someone would by it. Up to you but the worst advice for car prices is on this forum. But it depends if you want a quick sale or not i suppose.

 

[Iridium]

Don't let it go for less than £13k for sure, but putting it up at £16k is a waste of time IMHO - I'd be amazed if you got so much as one genuine call. Options seem to make precious little difference to 2nd hand car values in my experience.

But, I could be wrong, advertising on PH is free anyway so maybe worth a shot. Hell if someone comes and knocks you down by £2k you'll still get £14k and they'll think they've got a bargain!

Dan

 

[MikeLYR27]

Yeah 16k is steep, but i think the valuation that people give it is silly. You can buy a normal 197 for that? Im not sayin it will go for that price but I just think for the limited model it is and the desirable colour, it will go for more without question.

 

[Iridium]

Yea I agree, for sure the yellow will bag him a few quid. Problem is, the general public will see the Cup as 'the same car' for £13k brand new

Dan

 

[trailerparktrev]

I'd advertise it for around 13.5k and hold out for 13k. You will get it.

16K will get you into fully loaded 197 cupped car.

Brand new 08 with new ratios.

Don't waste your time asking 16K?

A car is only worth what someone will pay!

Lots of R27's have sold for 13K or less.

 

[trailerparktrev]

I think that's the problem with liquid yellow paint. People pay 1200 quid for it as an option, but there is no way people are going to pay a big premium for it (if anything at all - unless the car is Clio V6), on a used car.

 

[Flame172]

Will look tonight what number we are...

 

[R20 CWH]

13,100 on p heads imo

 

[Flame172]

If someone took it away for 12.7k i'd take it under my circumstances

 

[lewisniven]

i have SO much pity for anyone who paid list price for a 197, lol. a fully loaded R27 was about £18.5K worth of car wasnt it?

OUCH.

 

[Strell]

Just need to know the extra's and the number and i would be interested with it at that price.

 

[Steve]

LY's, some had paint problems.

I've seen this punted around a bit - does anyone actually have a reference or any evidence of it though?

cool, that's 1 liquid owner with a paint defect... would be interested to know how many others there are

 

[Flame172]

always handy to point that out on a whats it worth thread.. no problems with my paintwork

 

[Strell]

Can we have a bit more info then?
Number, extra's etc

 

[Iridium]

This is Cliosport - 1 shaky account = they're all s**t.

Dan

 

[Flame172]

sorry thought i'd mentioned... no extra's other than colour...
number 414... pm if interested... will get pics at end of week, not at home at the moment

 

[Iridium]

At £12.7k that's a bargain IMHO. Should have no issues moving that on.
