    Hi folks, I have a 2013 1.6 diesel Honda Civic with 385K kms (shy of 240K miles) on the odometer. Still running well all electrics working and passed its NCT a couple of months ago with not even a warning from the tester that this, that or the other is about to break. Time to change though and I'm not sure its even worth looking for nibbles on Done Deal as it'd be far and away the highest mile car on the site. Should I chance it anyway to try and get maybe €3K on Done Deal as an organ donation car or should I just go to one of those "we buy any car" places and leave it at that? I don't want to give away a working car for nothing.

    This too shall pass.

    €3k is fair. Should sell no problem

    So your price range is “a few hundred from we buy any car to 3000” - I guarantee you you’ll sell the car - pick a figure you’ll be happy with then add maybe a grand to that as the asking price and see how it goes- it’s high milage yes but let the buyer worry about that - Hondas are a reliable brand so even with this milage will be in demand more so than say a Renault with similar milage . I don’t see you getting less than 2k to be honest - but I wouldn’t just dump the car for a few hundred - nct, tax? recent service? - I’d be asking 3k for it maybe even 3.5 and let the buyer decide- you can always reduce the price if no takers - I learned my lesson years ago selling a high milage older car that I undervalued by about 2k- sold quickly yes- probably too quickly - let the buyers decide what it’s worth
