Hi All,

Looking on autotraders website it is proving difficult to gauge the value of my car. Seems to range from a woefull 6K up to 8K. Can you give me any help?

Its a Black vrs on a 51 plate with 42,000 miles. Good condition - a few stone chips but no dents or serious damage. Interior has not been tormented by kids or animals! Full dealer service history. Tyres etc OK.

Any ideas for a private sale asking price please? May be comming to a 'for sdale' section near you soon

thanks.

It would ne nice to get 8k. Not geen on what the glass's guide has to say tho. Still, their prices always seem tight to me. I think they are baes on allowing a dealer to slap some profit on for resale!

Oh yes , that's definately the price that the dealers will offer you so that they can add ther profit on top which on a car like yours will be at least a grand
