So due to personal problems car might be up for sale its a 05 blobeye in wr1 blue f.s.h tracker and cobra cat1 alarm fitted almost standard apart from sti rear spoiler bonet scoop and wheels off a hawk on 66kmiles few stone chips nothing major loads of recpits for history. I'm owner number 8 it has a got a roof mounted DVD player need IR headphones as I've miss placed the 1s I had. belt was changed at 56k pads and discs front and bk were done at 55k.

Try cap for a guide, then make your decision afterwards.

also, without wishing to state the obvious

what price they are advertised at and what they actually sell for can be miles apart

My 'recipe' ?

  1. One of the acknowledged Guides for a valuation on a standard one.
  2. Add/subtract as per their guidelines for mileage etc.
  3. Adverts for similar cars (year & mileage especially).
  4. Second check on adverts for cars found in (3) above, in order to see how quickly they went.
  5. Add/subtract for significant differences in yours eg. nice wheels, old tyres, 2 mths MoT, 10 mths Tax etc.
  6. There'll always be a range of prices, though not a huge difference if you have a narrow enough sample eg. all around the same year & mileage and discount the ones that are way outside of the average.
  7. Price yours depending on how quickly you want to sell eg. a quick sale then near the bottom of your calculated range, no real rush then nearer the top.
    You'll probably have more enquiries (and less searching questions) if you pitch just above the middle. (People won't be so demanding if it's not top whack or so wary if it's rock bottom).
And no, it doesn't take as long as this post makes it out to be. (Hence I haven't mentioned depreciation ).
