What's it worth?

Was originally planning on changing sometime next year but have been toying with the idea of selling my chariot now. Had a look on donedeal, carzone and prices seem to be all over the place. Either mad dealer prices, high mileage examples or the usual ones still on UK plates.

Yes, it is manual.

2011 CC Sport with 77k is booking at €21,650.

That's what I'd be looking at if you're trading in, or aim for around €19,000 in a private sale.

Going to try and avoid trading it in as I want keep going to the UK for my next car as an option unless I see something nice here.

Would you get someone willing to pay €19k on a private sale?

bazz26

I know someone who spent €15k on a private sale recently.

djimi

Fair enough. I didnt think anyone in their right mind would spend that sort of money on a car with absolutely zero comeback or legal protection!

bazz26

Well there is obviously a higher risk involved this way and you can only do so much checking/inspecting but then again you can pay alot more by buying from a garage where the warranty is fairly limited to begin with and even if you do end up having to take legal action against them it can be long drawn out and costly battle assuming you can get these guys into court.

No plain sailing from the private sellers perspective either with all the messers and attempted scams going on, such is life.

djimi

Its a much higher risk in fairness. Dealing with garages might not always be a picnic either, but dealing with a proper respectable and established dealer (as opposed to a cowboy operation from a local portacabin) is a lot safer than buying privately, and at the very least gives you full legal backing should you need to pursue them for any reason. I didnt think too many people would gamble on much beyond €10k on a private sale.

Definitely a limited market but I have nothing to hide and I keep all my cars in tip top shape.
