Valuation please!
« on: 20 November 2008, 17:49:59 »
Very much just testing the water here, as I am considering a different type of toy  ::)

If I were to list this on Autotrader, what do you think is a realistic starting point?

2000 W Omega 3.0 V6 Elite Estate
Automatic Trans
MOT Sept 2009
158,000 miles
Unmarked Black Leather
CID and colour sat Nav
BOSE
Climate, Cruise, etc, Usual Elite Spec.

Good points:

Exhaust changed very recently for an Eternalcar one. Same quality as the latest release of VX exhaust, since they are no longer double skinned!

Cambelt kit done by me, 3000 miles ago.

Sonnax thrust washer, and recent ATF change.

New wishbones

Easy 30+mpg on a run.

WIM treatment less than 3,000 miles ago

Bad points:

Aircon needs looking at - not cold.

Light (not deep) mark on front bumper, probably easily taken out, and some minor damage to a corner of rear bumper, but nothing to worry about.

Facelift Elite alloys will be supplied, freshly sanded and painted but will need new tyres fitting to them. Car is currently on Steels, with excellent tyres on.


Any ideas what it should be listed at? I've lost touch, so will be guided by others, if I do decide to change...

£1k on a good day  :-/

Best way is to check what is selling on Autotrader (not what is advertised!)

You're thinking along simelar lines as me really..

Excuse me being daft, how can I check what's sold, rather than what's adverised?

Note whats for sale now, check again in week. Any that have disappeared, call a few to see if still available, and be a bit cheeky if sold, and ask what price it went for, saying it will help you negotiate with other sellers ;).  Even call a few that are still advertised.

£1k should be achievable on the right day if the car is presented properly.

Exactly - you replace with another car the same value, you might be buying a right money pit.

And the fact you were considering selling this year means I won the bet, and you owe me a tenner ;D

But when James comes out of the shower he will know it was all a dream and he wasn't ever considering selling it.  So that will mean TB he does not owe you a tenner!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

I thought it was only if I DID change cars, rather than consider it? :P

The fact you were asking its value, and checking AT is enough to convince me I was right!

Next curry is on you ;)
