Price Part ex price or private sale price guide please

Anastie · 3rd May 2008, 16:04

Hi All

I am thinking of venturing back to a rear wheel drive car. But I have not had my Civic for long so any change will be dictated by price.

I have a 56 plate five door civic sport ctd-i. In Alabaster silver. Some minor stone chips. Very well looked after and obsessively owned and detailed

It has done less than 20,000 miles. I have looked on the usual websites but prices are poles apart.

Yes, I could walk into a dealer but I really would like a guide price. My thoughts are to sell private, sell to dealer or part ex.

As ever all advice appreciated.

Cheers

If you can sell it privately not only will you get a better price than part-exchanging it, but it will also give you more bargaining power when you approach the dealer.

Also because it is still under warranty it makes it a good buy for any prospective buyer. So it would make good sense to save a few hundred pounds buying from you rather than a dealer.

Give it a try at say, £500 cheaper than similar models advertised by your local dealer, you never know your luck.

i'd hazard a guess without seeing the car at around £12,000 from dealers.
