whats my car worth?

miju

Lads gonna be putting my beloved Alfa up for sale shortly but no idea as to it's value really, it's a 2004 Alfa 156 1.9 JTD Diesel with 60,000 on the clock, NCT'd until 01/2011 and full service history including all receipts for any other work (even tyres LOL)

I'm guessing asking about €7,000 given that other petrol 156s with higher mileage and same year are asking about €6,000 - €6,500 and there seems to be a rarity of a diesel Alfas for sale.

What would those in the trade think? (and please lets not turn this into an Alfa bashing thread thanks)

It really depends on the condition of it more than anything I think. Alfa's seem to be a car that certain people want and they want them in good condition. I looked at a good few and I would definitely have been willing to pay up €1500 more for a car if it was clean than one that was tatty. There are some wrecks out there so I'd have no problem paying considerably more for one that was spotless than a wreck.

If its immaculate I think €6,500 is reasonable. It should definitely get offers at that price anyway.

Book value is €5,800 for a Lusso, €6,200 for a Ti - with 94,000 miles. Mileage adjustment should be €75 per 1,000 miles which takes it to minimum €8,350 - which I think everyone would agree is a bit on the optomistic side.

If it's in good nick, I could see someone paying €6,500 - €7,000 for it.

cheers that was roughly my thinking and the car is in very good nick bar 2 small paintwork scrapes as I've obsessively cared for it LOL and the Alfa is a Veloce 156 if that makes much of difference.

I'll throw it up for 7k and hope for the best

Veloce was €1,200 cheaper than the Lusso when new, so it makes it worth a bit less than the Lusso - but as pointed out before, a well cared for Veloce will make more than a Ti in rag order.

Cant see it myself. I dont think it'll make much more than €4500 TBH.

Nice car but they're just not trusted enough plus you can buy some rock steady diesel cars of the same age with the same mileage for 5 Grand these days.

Good luck wth the sale.

I saw a guy on here a few weeks ago and he was looking for a puppy. Maybe he should contact him about that too.

cheers Not that I'm doubting you but I'm struggling to find a 2003-2005 diesel for €5,000 with anything near my mileage. Link to carzone search here and CBG.ie search is turning up only 14 results which are all vans.

Not trying to be finicky / looking to argue the point I genuinely just wanna make sure I price the car well.
