Hi I'm looking to sell up and leave the Skoda fold.

My car is a two owner silver late BLT engined Skoda Fabia vrs on an 07 plate with 51k miles and FDSH, it is in great condition as anybody that has seen my car, will testify it's been looked after. extras full leather done by seat surgeons in York, cruise control, under seat storage drawers. It has twelve months tax non transferable and will shortly have 12 months mot.

All mods have been fitted by the all round nice bloke Ross/Techie.

I know it would be worth stripping and returning the car to stock, but I don't have the time or parts to return back to stock. I'm struggling to put a price on the car.

So what do people think it's worth? Thanks in advance Lee.

Ps. I'm thinking around the £5700 mark?

Anybody got any views on this?

I was going to say £5,000 but I'm out of touch. It's hard to judge a price when you can buy the same car for £1,500 privately now anyway all be it a 53 plate with 100k+ miles.

51,000 miles and Lees car is absolutely mint! All you need to do is look at it to see its well looked after!

I am sure you are aware that any mods will always have a "Marmite" factor when coming to sell, putting any car in a niche market and therefore harder to value. I would say around £4 -5k if pushed.

This is exactly why I started the thread because I'm unsure what to put my car up for, when the time comes to put it up for sale which will be shortly.

Its only worth what someones prepared to pay. If you put it up for £9k and it sold it would be worth that !

The problem is many list their cars (unsold) and assume their cars are worth that.

 

However somewhere between £5k and £6k to me doesn't seem unreasonable - dealers might have it a tad more than that although more likely with an SE than a non SE car as they are rarer and seemingly more sought after.

 

Why not put up for £5.5K and see where you get ?

Incidentally mines BLT also on late 56 (i.e. going on 07), had from new and looked after mine to death but not ecu remapped..

My reality is with the miles around 120 (despite being clean) people assume its worn to death and so worth less !

I would presumably struggle to get £4K (despite having leather, dual din nav with BT, cruise etc) probably closer to £3k.

 

For a car less than a year newer (possibly a few months) and only about half the miles, maybe it wouldn't be a bad offer to accept anywhere from £4500 onwards I reckon though. End of the day its a 8 yr old car

Wisebuyers (which can be quite pessimistic on the older cars) says £3400! :(

Thanks for your input vrsant I'm going to try £5500 and go from there I think. Thanks for your input

Clearly a well maintaned car with all the right upgrades. It's the sort of spec I would be be interested in if I needed another Fabia. Good luck with the sale

Can u put some of it back to standard and sell some bits like the spiders and brakes ? 

I paid 5 for mine 2 years ago with 78k completely standard but with cruise, heated seats and 6 CD changer. I think that's a good price if the right buyer comes along- which nowadays obviously the chavs are getting their hands on them !
