£100. I'm in Wales on Thursday so can collect then.  ;)

Seriously though, some more detail will help, but be warned, selling a big engined car right now is about as easy as selling a house!

What year is it?  Has it a FSH? What condition is it in? What colour? Any modifications? Any pictures? :o :o

All this detail is required before any sensible estimate could be given.  It should also be remembered that any large engined car post 2001, which yours is judging by the 2.6 engine size (?),will be attracting heavy penalties by the Chancellor in the near future :'(.

I have had my 2002 2.6CD with less miles but no service history for sale for a while in lots of places @ £2100 and not had one person interested, so probably not worth as much as you think, blame it on the price of petrol and the new car tax rules from next year, thanks Mr Brown.  >:(

2000/2001 facelifts aer barley worth £1,500 these days.

£800 is cheap, but due to the new tax rules understandable.

If i tried to sell mine now, i would be lucky to get £1,300 MAX.

Early 99 on an S plate, nearly 101'000, paid £950 19 months ago with a yrs. ticket & 6 months tax (95'000 then). Spent £235 on cambelt kit & fitting & a fair bit more on personal mods, waxoiling & pampering.
    Despite being safe from the new tax laws reckon i'd be lucky to get £800 for it. Luckily it's a "keeper" so not for sale. What else could i get for the money?
     Regarding facelift prices & new tax rates, hard to say but we could see the 2001 facelift lose more value than it deserves too. :(
