Part-ex figures?

b1ackb1rd · 17-09-2008, 20:39

I'm not a happy camper ... I was offered £1500 for my 2001 combi today, 102k, aircon, fogs, hearse rails, remap and PD160!
Then the cheeky sod said it was worth £3k every day of the week!

WeirdKerr · 17-09-2008, 20:45

About a month ago i got just over 2200 for my red '04 1.9TDI combi (STD, no mods) (80,000miles) against the car i now have

Good God ... what made you do that ???

**VRStu** · 17-09-2008, 21:40

I would have thought that wasn't far off the mark for your car.

I agree!

**mannyo** · 17-09-2008, 21:45

Price sounds about right to me, if anything the remap and PD160 may have a negative effect on the value. Possibly remove those and return to standard, and get a few extra quid by selling the pd160 separatly.

b1ackb1rd · 17-09-2008, 23:18

I think I'll keep it and run it until it dies.
I was going to part chop it for a diesel smart, but what's the point in losing a load of money in trade-in to save a few bob in running costs??

ultra_joel88 · 18-09-2008, 01:06

Also, whats the point in owning a smart?

Cos they are fun.

Worth £3k to him is probably about right. AIUI, you usually reckon on a dealer trying to make up to £1500 on trade-in price, and since Combis are like hen's teeth, I reckon he'd have a good chance of making that sort of money for it...

snownrock · 18-09-2008, 11:25

Just sell private, hassle i know, but youll get more money for it

TomH · 18-09-2008, 12:49

7 years old, Over 100k and remapped - those will knacker the value!

You are probably right, but I've got the lower emission engine, it's very economical because of the remap/pd160, it's been looked after as a family car and has not done the motorway system as a rep mobile although it is bloody quick if the need arises. And no hassle from plod cos it looks standard

It's a bloody brilliant little car actually, which is why I won't give it away for £1500!

**VRStu** · 18-09-2008, 17:59

None of those reasons will be a consideration for a Part Exchange Valuation though.

b1ackb1rd · 18-09-2008, 19:17

Absolutely right, they are just reasons why I don't be part-ex the car - may as well pile up banknotes and set fire to them as accept the figure offered.

snownrock · 18-09-2008, 19:45

Well stick it in the classifieds then

vRS Dovit · 19-09-2008, 00:14

Or as it's already been said....run it till it goes pop.....

snownrock · 19-09-2008, 08:43

Theres positives to doing that, but i always think that its a risky one, because if the car goes youre in a rush to get a new one, might not always buy the right car. But at least you can save and have a nice wod ready for when it does.

b1ackb1rd · 22-09-2008, 11:27

Yea, may stick it in Autotrader this week.
I'm a bit isolated without wheels here although I've got a 400 Burgman to commute on until the right car comes along
(if it does sell, Sod's Law dictates it will p*ss down everytime I get on the bike!)

snownrock · 22-09-2008, 11:28

At least you have the bike, ill have to get a hire car
