Hey Guys, hope this doesn't violate the forum rules, but I'm just after a rough idea what my car is worth. I'm considering going for something a bit cheaper to run, but it depends whether I'd lose too much by selling the old girl (Don't really want to if I'm honest, and I paid quite a lot for it). I've owned it for the last 3 years, and it only had 1 owner before that.

It's a 52 plate Yellow vRS, only got 65k on the clock, and is in pretty much mint condition. Engine is perfect, plenty of power, and no smoke or other problems. I did a load of work on the suspension around 18 months ago, replacing most of the bushes, and ARB droplinks and it drives really nice. It always has oil and all filters changed every 8k ish, and has never failed an MOT.

Any ideas on what I could realistically sell it for?

Cheers

The short answer is "less than its worth to you".

If you've spent money on things like the suspension recently, and its all going well then keep it.

Even if you get 50% better mpg, by the time you've bought a new car you'll spend more overall.

That's what I'm thinking. Better the devil you know and all that.

It's saddening how much they have lost value over the years isn't it?

yup these cars have really dropped in price, several went for 1200 on here recently.....keep it even if you get 2k plus, what will that buy you?

I agree. I sold mine and had to get a loan to afford anything else. I only got rid due to needing more space - don't have three kids if you want a vRS.

The numbers just don't add up and I'm going to have to cover something like 120,000 miles before I get anywhere near the money I save in fuel by driving a diesel. If it runs well, keep it and enjoy it.

edit - the 120,000 miles will take me roughly 12 years at the current rate.
