Would be intrested in people thoughts regarding the premiems people pay for SEs over a standard vrs?

 

So without getting complicated, two cars side by side,one a SE (blue with leather/tints) average mileage/full history/ 1-3 owners/not abused/ in good condition/ standard spec, not damaged repaired etc etc and a non SE vrs of the same year eg 2007 no xenons etc etc again lets keep it simple

 

Both cars without any performance mods

 

 

We all know a trader will hope for 2-3k over the top to cover a warranty etc and also hope the buyer signs up to a HP agreement etc so lets talk sensible private values.

 

 

 

 

What would you value the SE at? (private sale price)

 

 

 

And what would you value the simular non SE at? (again private sale price)

 

 

 

Id say around 4000-5k for the SE  and 3500-4k for the non SE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say about £1,000 more for an SE, whatever the value.

Look on eBay and tick the "sold items only" that way you get a value of what people have actually paid, not what people advertised for.

£1,000 to £1,500.

Do you mean thoughts as in is the extra premium worth it? I think it is but some will disagree because it's the same car underneath the fancy bits.

To me the condition, service history and general feel of how the car drove was more of a factor. I found a non-SE that was similarly as good but the seller was asking far to much and wouldn't budge on his asking price. OK the mileage was about 12,000 less but that was really the only difference and to me that wasn't a big factor, I was more bothered about service history and number of previous owners.

 

I ended up paying ~£1000 more compared to the non-SE I was considering after a little haggling which I didn't think was bad. I don't think I'd be prepared to pay loads more than that though, £1500 max and at that the condition and everything else would have to be spot on.
