pritesh Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 people, A mate of mine is trying to sell his Civic TypeR Hes been offered 11K in part exchange on the car by a Honda Dealer (02 plate, 20K on the clock, silver alloys are slightly scuffed) - HOWEVER the Airbag SRS light is on - the control unit has a fault with in and needs replacing. cost for fix = £500 all in He thinks he can ask for around 9K private sale as the Airbag light is on. Do people think that this is a reasonable price or should it be higher or lower given the fact that the warning light is on? He doesnt intend to fix this. cheers P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I would get it fixed - it will be a shed load easier to sell. Maybe cheaper to get it fixed by an independent Honda specialist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritesh Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 my thoughts as well Mook! but he seems reluctant to spend the money...for whatever reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 So effectively he's still going to get £10500 for his car as a trade in taking into consideration the £500 for the SRS light fault? If so I think it's a bit of a no brainer really, he'd be lucky to get £10000 privately with the airbag light fixed IMO so I know what I'd do . . . after all the car only books at £9000 so the Honda dealer is being very generous!
