Near double mileage so maybe 5k.Probably dropped in value slightly since the budget.

[P4UL T]

yeah, there is a formula to work out how much to take off for extra milage, but i cant remember

according to glass's guide below, you're looking at probably 6,500 considering you have nav, and around 6 grand would be the private price without nav

Thanks dude.

Thats not too bad,

may stick it on eBay to see if I get some intrest

[dave1]

If you decide to get rid, what are you thinking of getting?

[P4UL T]

On eBay now, want an oil burner, cant afford too much.

Was thinking a 530d sport (2002 ish) but a decent one will cost too much.

Was also thinking a Mondeo ST TDCI

Watch out for problems on the dual mass flywheel on mondeo diesels,same as Jag diesel.

I think you are going to be so disapointed. Your GS looks really nice.

I remember the one you took to the ring, the four of you thinking you'd blown the turbo

Good luck with the sale matey.

Cheers Lee,

Thanks, it is without a doubt the best car I have owned.

But I need something that costs less to run and is fun to drive, yes its fast, but only in a straight line, its like a boat on wheels in the corners tho.

go for the 530d if you can, i love them to bits, so much torque!(sport models) although the st tdci also has bags of torque too...

hmmm diesel!!!

Add LPG conversion, add the FULL suspension upgrade, and you have no reason to sell it!

I still have to take you out in mine - hopefully that will convince you not to sell

[eXOBeX]

Ouch! That means mine's dropped about nine grand in the time I've owned it. Still, dropped another fifteen before I bought it so not as bad as it could've been!

[P4UL T]

Had someone come view it yesterday, they offered £5500, gunna hold out and see if I can get a little more :)

[P4UL T]

Dunno, should I accept £5500 or not, I know its a little under whats its worth.

what do you guys think?

[aztecbandit1]

Thats a lot of car for the money matey think if it was me i'd hold out a bit but depends on how much you need to sell it? i tried to see if my other half would have it but says its a bit big for her (Woman and size ay they say it doesnt matter )

[kam05]

Agree, its probably worth more than 5.5k, but with the petrol price rises (and petrol prices aren't coming down) and new road tax rules coming in 2009 (back dating co2 charge to all cars reg'd from March 2001)- these two factors alone are working against you.

Tell the person that has offered you 5.5k that you are looking for 6k. Your buyer may not give you 6k, but you may be able to negotiate a better deal, say £5750? (Your buyer may increase his offer if he really wants/likes your car) I'm sure the extra £250 would come in handy?
