They're only trade in values not private sale values (its on Vauxhalls site)

ask for whatever you want.. after all the market will only pay what it wants.

I would have thought the values are fair given the spec / colour.

Assuming it's a manual hatch, AutoTrader reckon £5,700. You can always see if anyone on here wants it if you join Freedom!

Its a similar age to mine which I traded in recently, but higher miles.

I got £7,000 - £7,400 trade in value (depending on whether you put the haggling over cost to change as a higher trade in value or a lower price on the car I bought).

The car is up at £8,500 at the dealers, but I suspect they have at least £750 of negotiation in that, so say £7,750

If you knock off £1000 as its a private sale, and another £1000 because of the higher miles, I'd say you are at around £5750 if you are lucky, but not much more than the trade in values.

Bear in mind the market is pretty quiet at the moment.
