selling advice

I have a 1.4i west coast Xsara (1999 T). I would say it'a in excellent condition apart from some small wee dents you get at supermarkets. It's done 97000 miles and has fsh. I'm getting it Mot'd and serviced this week and it has over 5 months tax.

I bought this car last november for £650 from an auction and paid another £100 in fees.

So what I'd like to know is what price should I put down when I come to sell this car next week?

Thanks

Jamie

BTW, I'm selling cause I need an estate.

just check ebay. In my opinion you could get anything between 1000 and 1500.

As nurkov said, see what they're going for on eBay. Also check your local AutoTrader web site.

Good luck with the sale ... don't forget to make enough to buy the Xantia

I would agree with the above. The prices they sell for on ebay are what people are prepared to pay for a private sale. You may get a little more in 'Autotrader' but it would probably take longer to sell it. Check the prices there too.

Not many have actually sold on ebay recently mind - only one made the
mark, the others didn't meet their reserves:

The second one was a damaged spares or repair car!! I'm not totally sure
if it's totally 'safe' to judge the prices of the one's that didn't meet their
reserves mind although AutoTrader or Freeads show the asking prices
NOT the selling prices...
