    hi,

    the cheapest 320cd 05' diesel coupe i see on carzone is 14950. do you think this is reasonable? looking to sell mine which is the same year with 31k miles on it.

    would a garage accept it as a trade in on a cheaper car and give me the difference in cash? more like a trade down? does sort of thing happen?

    Has it service history? I'd be asking lots if I went to view a diesel with that little mileage on it in 5 years that's the first question to prepare for!

    If you want any chance of selling it privately take the cheapest one on carzone and start off by asking around 10% less for yours. With such low mileage you will need to provide a full documented service history otherwise people will assume it has been clocked.

    Regarding trading down, it is very unlikely you will get cash from a garage unless you are buying something from them that has been sitting on their forecourt for ages because it was impossible to shift.

    any links to the car?
    PM me if you want.

    in my personal opinion, its the old shape coupe, and i think 15k is very expensive for it, but thats my opinion, please dont take offence.
