2005 Citroen C3 1.4 Diesel. 140k miles.

tax and mot up at the end of the month
Needs new clutch
Steering makes bad sounds at low speed
Front suspension makes bad sound
One front brake calliper needs replacing
Covered in dents, scratches and scuffs
Front seats are disgustingly stained







What can I realisticly expect for it?

£500 if you're lucky.

[Claws]

That's one for putting through the auctions. I'd say around £500 aswell. Needs loads done to it to make it worth not much money

[CocoPops]

Tell ya what, I'll give you £100 and call it a favour. Those seats are DISGUSTING!!

[Tuuurtle]

You'd have to pay me...

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

what the hell did you do to that car!

[JG]

And me, to be honest, Coco's offer is very generous and I'd bite his hand off if i were you quickly before he retracts it

£1000 ish. Assuming it has been regularly serviced then the mileage is a non issue on a diesel. They are a great car. I had a 1.4SX Diesel and it was a brilliant runaround to compliment the VX. Very nippy and 60+mpg

but have you read the bad bits that need doing?

how much is a new clutch on these things?

[2GOOD]

Small cars (especially with 5 doors) always fetch strong money regardless of condition.

[badgerade]

I'm not sure I want to know but I'll ask anyway.. What on earth happened to those seats?

[2GOOD]

To add: cheapest 1.4HDi in January's Glasses guide, the L trades @ £2350 with the Desire @ £2500, both @ 62k, mileage adjust @140k -£1000/1100, then less the clutch, brake work etc. but like I said above small + diesel will still fetch good money

[JG]

about 500 as i said Who needs Glasses

[CocoPops]

And with the condition of those seats... I think my £100 is very generous.

[2GOOD]

So mileage adjusted it would trade at around £1300/1400 less the clutch, think you've either got an eye open for a bargain James or are being a little harsh. If I remember I'll get a picture of the nearly 18 year old Corsa I've got coming in tomorrow that I've currently traded for £300 (I'm expecting a little less when he actually sees it but all the same, it's daft for it's age)
