    Rite so I will get straight to the point. I have a 01 laguna and need to sell it asap, I have tried advertising with little success!

    And before anyone starts it is not stolen, damaged or anything like that, its in very good condition. I have been left go from my job recently and need the money! :o

    Whats the story with car auctions? And if anyone has any ideas how I can get rid of it (preferably in the south east region!!!) please let me know!!

    Any advice welcome!:)

    Need more info on the cars spec.

    Advertise in more places, www.buyandsell.ie, www.adverts.ie, www.carzone.ie, so on so forth. But really no matter what spec it has, it's not worth €3k. What engine/mileage/colour/nct?

    Because it's a 1.6l supersport, 50000 miles n.c.t 05/09, silver Renault Laguna.

    It's probably worth about 1500, if you can get some one to buy it. It'll make very little at auction.

    Here's a 03 for 4K, would be bought for 3K or less.

    I'm sure it's worth at least 2.5-3k with that low mileage on it provided it is in reasonable condition with service history.

    The thing is, is that it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. And people simply aren't buying cars these days, especially ones with poor reliability reputation, regardless of how good the car has been serviced etc.

    This is it. Those prices that Limerick-man suggests are low, but realistic. You won't get much more than a grand at auction. There was another poster on here a few days ago who could get an '02 Laguna for free and he was wondering was that a good deal :eek:

    Just price it attractively at something like 1500 Euro if you're in a rush to sell it. The car isn't necessarily worth that, but as pointed out above no one is buying cars at the moment.

    3k is a bit steep, reduce the price and stick it on cars for sale web sites,

    local papers have a very limited readership(if such a word exsists).

    Unkel, that was me.. and sure I went for it.

    I was given one, because the owner couldn't be bothered selling it. It was more effort than the car was worth. I'm told they're not as bad as they're rep... And I know the car I got from new, and the only problem it's ever given is that it's got a noticeable vibration somewhere in the front end. It's just that that problem is an NCT failure, and probably an expensive fix if it's more than a wheel out of balance.

    Otherwise, it's still pretty tight.

    Anyway tt wasn't whether the car was any good or not, it was more whether it would cost more to fix, than it would for me to buy a car without a problem. but, that's for the mechanic's quote to decide, and that'll have to wait until January.

    I was in grange motors outside mullingar earlier and out front he has about 15 cars all types from 5grand all the way up to 25k, avenis, corolla, a4, odd passat etc, prices were on cars the last few months all the while going down a bit each month. Now he has a big sign on the fence saying "Make me an offer". All prices on windscreens taken down, getting bad when a dealer does that!!
