mate you are asking way too much for your car ,,,, good luck though !!!

Spotted it on ebay yesterday, good luck!

Thanks

mate you are asking way too much for your car ,,,, good luck though !!!

If you say so. How much should I be asking, seen as somebody has already said its a fair price????

In August 2010 i payed 6k for mine with 60k on the clock mines silver, good condition cruise and full leather full service history 6 months tax and 12months mot. I reckon in the current climate id lose money on mine so in all fairness i think you should be thinking more in the region of £5500. If i was going to sell mine tomorrow that's what i'd be expecting. Not having a dig just trying to advise.

Hope this helps

Nathan

Is yours 2007? I've been offered more than £5500 in part ex for it.

2006

Did this sell?

I bought my 2007 MK1 Fabia VRS with 38k on the clock for £7100. Cruise Control, New tyres, Full service history, MOT'd I think I got a bargain mate but good luck with the sale!

2006

No not sold yet.

I think we've already established that yours is a year newer it also has a mahusive dink in the back i don't think anyone is going to pay 7k for your motor mate we are talking 7k less miles than mine and a year newer but in worse condition :S even if you said 7000 with the dink and cambelt sorted and 6500 without i reckon it would make a considerable difference to the sale.

You could buy a special edition with 5k more miles for £500 cheaper than yours, i know where id rather spend my money. :wonder:

Now on Ebay.

I can't help but notice that the really clear picture of the boot dent didn't make it into the set that appear on ebay. Got to say that if I were to buy it based on the description and pics I'd be mightily ****ed off to find that when I arrived to pick it up.

OK, you could argue that any potential purchaser should check the car out before they bid, but they don't need to and "slight dent in boot lid" doesn't quite do it for me I'm afraid.

If you say so. How much should I be asking, seen as somebody has already said its a fair price????

It's certainly a tricky one, but a car is only worth whatever someone's willing to pay for it, and someone telling you that what you're asking a fair price is not the same as them handing you that money.

The one sure fire way to find out what it's worth is to put it on eBay at £0.99 start no reserve.

Worth noting though that I've been looking to get the missus a Roomster and have been watching ebay for a few months. Very few come up as an auction, most are buy it now or classified ads. It's hard to tell if the classified ad cars sell and if so how much for, but the very few cars that have sold have actually gone for about £200 below the whatcar on-line valuation trade price. Those that have not reached reserve have got to a similar point. It's very rare for cars to go over that and those that have have been absolutely immaculate one owner cars will full main dealer service histories

It might be worth sitting down and studying what's sold on ebay to get a guide. Find something similar then knock a couple of hundred off for the dent.

If it's any consolation, we've come to the realisation that our lovely 2004 Fabia 1.2 12V is probably worth a mere £1500 - whilst it appears that we should be able to get what we want for about a grand less than we thought, the one we are selling will be worth a grand less than we hoped. Ah well.

Well its your money and you can spend it where you like, personally I wouldnt but a ltd edition. I have said £6500 somewhere in the thread already.

If potential buyers want pics they can contact me for them, I have stated in the listing that if people have any questions the should ASK. The dent its self really isnt that big. certainly not "mahusive."

Im not stupid enough to put it on ebay without a reserve. I'd say £150 maximum for the dent (quoted that for a repair). I certainly wont sell it for any less than £6500, I'd rather keep it myself and not get an Octavia than let it go for silly money, obviously I'd take a bit less for it in part ex.

Mileage updated.

Bump. Now having dent fixed. Any interest??

Looks like this may very soon go in as a part exchange.

If anyone is interested before then, £6000 as it is.

Well it's been in here long enough and enough people had opinions that it was too expensive. I've now got an excellent part ex price against the exact model and spec vehicle I want. It will be going as part ex on Saturday morning and is no longer for sale.
