Hi All

I am going to be selling my E270 CDI Avantgarde 2003 03, black, half leather with front mulitchanger and phone prep. 83,000 miles with full MBSH. Just been serviced, full MOT, 6 months tax, 2 new rear tyres. 16" alloys. Car is in excellent condition.

What should I be looking to get for it in a Private sale? Parkers is saying about £14,800 but on autotrader they are being advertised closer to the £15,500 mark.

What do you all think?
 
I had a quick look at Car Giant...they stock similar cars for about £14-15k. Trouble is, private buying should be cheaper! You can hold out for the higher price, but you could be looking at months on the market.

Good luck
 
hi thanks

i know what you mean

my sis in law has been trying to shift her honda civic for 2 months now...
 
I had a C-Class for sale for about 4 months! I ended up part exchanging (rubbish price in comparison) but the replacement was under list price. I got a call about that car 1 YEAR later! (The ad must've been floating around on a website somewhere).

Go to Glass's Guide website (the trade's bible) and put in all your details. For a mere £2-95 you will get a full valuation showing trade price, part ex price, private sale price and dealer price. Very useful either to show dealer to haggle a good p/ex price or to set your private sale price.
 
no need to pay £2.95...;)

manual: trade £12000; retail £14000
auto: trade £13350; retail £15575

both for mileage adjusted to 80000.
