How Much

[MOSSY]

Could somebody give me some idea how much my IS200 is worth.

It is a 2000(W) SE with 110k on the clock.

It is of course in lovely condition and the reason I may be selling it is because it does not get used enough by myself or my wife and seems a shame it being sat around not doing much

According to Parkers mate with average mileage of 60,000 for a W reg private good is £6380. So based on this you'd be looking at around £5700.

Sound about right?

Thanks for replying

Have no idea if thats right or not

Gonna take an average and then possibly sell

Best bet i guess would be to look on autotrader and see what cars are going for that are same model as yours.

If you do decide to sell all the best in finding a buyer but i dont think it'll be too difficult to be honest.

What you getting instead??

[MOSSY]

Good question. How do you replace an IS ? But already have a Mondeo I use to drive to London daily so will just get a little runaround for the missus to use for work.

[Rikos]

Personally i think you should swap the mondeo for the IS and sell the mondeo :D

[MOSSY]

Nice thought but would cost me a fortune running it to London on a daily basis and judging by the way some of the muppets drive, it certainly wouldn't stay in good condition long

[Rikos]

Thats a fair point, i'd be out guarding the car all day in london!!

Well hope you sort it all out mate

According to WhatCar, you're looking at a p/ex value of £4795 and a private sale of £5195. Why the sale? Your Lexus is depreciating yes, but it's a nice steady slow depreciation, it won't be worth much less next year. You trade in a nice car for a small runaround, you have to pay extra in the first instance and the new car will suffer from rocket-powered depreciation making it an uneconomical choice. Unless you're desperate to rid yourself of the Lexus, can't think why, don't do it. You'll only regret it.

Think very carefully before you go over to the dark side!
