Do lots of options add value?

[oscarisapc]

I am wanting to set a fair and realistic asking price to sell my 55 plate W203 320 cdi which is fitted with many options and must have cost the first owner (a company) 25% or more of the basic price for the car when new. Is anyone on the forum able to help with a valuation? Apologies if this is a bit vague - I didn't want this to appear to be an advertisement by stealth so I have not given full details here of the car. Thanks.

List the options and we might be able to help.

It makes very little difference to the value especially as the vehicle gets older. However it will make it more saleable. Generally leather, auto, and comand are the sought after options. Possibly adds £500 to value at most.

Thanks, That's what I thought. It has got all those.

Do a price comparison against vehicles of a similar age, mileage and equipment level on AutoTrader. That should give you an idea, but remember you won't get the price they are advertised for if trading it in against another motor.
