Car valuation please?

Sponge · 02-07-2009, 05:02 PM

My wife's aunty needs to sell her car (no longer allowed to drive) and I'd like to value it for her.

It a Rover 214i 16v 5dr, 40k miles, passed MOT today, good condition BUT it has several scratches (most recently driver's wing keyed this am!)

First registered 22 Feb 1998, which I think makes it an R-plate.

First registered UK (from Ireland) 2001. It still has Irish plate on it. Not sure if this effects the value.

Whatcar:

Rover 200 Hatchback 214i 16v 5dr 1998 (R ) 40,000 miles
Dealer £1,195
Private £945
Part exchange £845
Trade £795
Cost new £11,850

Seems a bit high to me.

The low mileage helps, but they really aren't sought after cars, I'd be suprised if it fetched those book figures.

I'd reckon on about £500 to shift it quickly, thats a cheap car for someone who just wants to get from a to b and doesn't care what in.

Just what I was thinking. Thanks.

No one needs a new car.
