    depends on what car your buying, what car your trading in and how much the car is your buying.

    2 or 3k would be great for a colt on trade in but crap on an 08 320d say for example.....

    need more details here.............

    If you are looking for a dealer to buy your car from you for cash rather than trading it against another car then forget it. They will give you very little for it, same goes for these cash for cars places. It is in their best interest to buy cars cheap and sell them on at a profit. You are better off selling it yourself privately, Colts are popular cars and priced realistically it should sell easily enough.

    If you are trading it against another car at a dealership then the only figure you should be interested in is the figure that the garage want with your car for the new one. What they give you for your old car has little relevance because it is pointless getting a great trade in value for your old car if the newer car is overpriced to start with it.

    Expect to be shafted on the price. You will get well below it's market value.

    03 Colts would be a great little seller Op, i would'nt dream about trading it in tbh, if a dealer says he's giving 2/3000 grand for it your more than likely only getting 500/1000 for it (scrappage allowance is the same) I'd be inclined to sell privately and get cash in the hand rather then resort to Cash for cars

    To clarify, the older Colts (pre 05), like what the OP has, are a great seller. However, the newer Colt (05 onwards) is saleproof - the tide wouldn't take one away!
