Given the general vibe of this thread, I am confused then by the general trade price that is being offered on my VXT. High mileage I know (139000) average condition and they offered £5k.

[Rosssco]

So they can make a margin on it, prob of 30-40%..

[jackturbostage4]

5k is about right being 139k ! It's not much margin in that , but fair.

What do you base that on?

[jonnyboy]

Depends what the trade is. If you are PXing you should get more than 5k, an outright buy still more than 5k assuming HPI clear. Bearing in mind you would struggle to get a box of bits from copart for any less than about 8k I would say you are having your pants pulled down. 

[jakepeg]

HPI clear High mileage, but no stone chips as resprayed front clam Adjustable suspension Larini sports exhaust Ecu remap Hard top All important servicing done But guess these things only mean stuff to a person interested, they just chuck it in an auction. Pisses me off as, as already said you could not buy the parts for that.

Seems very low assuming it's a non cat car?

 

Would of thought at least 8k! Take it else where or sell privately, in fact I'll give you 5.5k for it!

[jakepeg]

Pm me Going for look at another car tomorrow and although pissed off, hassle factor avoidance is what they are working on.

[Tusk]

Wow, for £5k I'd be tempted to take it myself! WBAC would probably be higher than that.

[oldjoe]

well its mid December and the cheapest car on both pistonheads, ebay, autotrader is £7,000 prices are definitely looking good! 

[gaffer1986]

I will take it off you for £6000 assuming it's all in working order. I got we buy any car to value mine: £4445.00 for a silver 2.2 standard with all the servicing and 100,000 miles on the clock.

[gaffer1986]

Mileage shouldn't matter when a car is more than 10 years old anyway. I bet there are some 30K mile cars in worse condition than some 100K+ cars. The great thing about cars is you can replace worn out parts.

[Zoobeef]

One of mine will be forsale at some point next year. Prob once the weather turns.

[chez]

Quite a few NA's around the 9k mark at the moment, mixed mileage as well....... Perhaps not long till we see mid mileage NA's around 10k not just the low milers?

[jonnyboy]

If you can demonstrate good condition 10k is always reasonable for an NA. We just had a deposit today on the 28k one and lots of other interest in it so there's still good demand for these cars.

[gaffer1986]

When you say "still" good demand, I would think demand will only get stronger as they get rarer which is inevitable.

[jonnyboy]

Absolutely. 

 

Finding a real top end VX220 is no easy task. I was almost 2 years to get my blue one. VXTs are a little easier to come by but still they are probably on a par with S2 Exiges in terms of rarity now. 

[gaffer1986]

I'll be able to Trade it in for the Renault RS 01 soon
