Resale Value What can I get for my CTDi EX ? Thoughts....

Roger Harris · 16th October 2006, 08:35

Hi All,

It's a sad day but I have decided I have to sell my shiny new Civic! Without going into too much detail, my main client (I'm freelance) went belly-up and lots of promised work is now down the drain. Consequently I cannot afford to have a car loan round my neck!
So what I'm wonderin' is how much can I get for it. It's a 2.2 iCDTi EX with 18" Altimos and front & rear bumper garnish (Garnish! I ask you)
I've also upgraded the audio with much better front speakers and an Alpine sub unit (Sounds gorgeous). I also have Honda roof bars (although I don't keep 'em on the car).
It's pretty much mint apart from a couple of tiny chips and it's done 10,000 miles (bloody enjoyable one's too).
Do you think it will fetch a good price as it's available now, rather than at the end of a waiting list?

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Of course, as soon as more work comes in I'll be buying another one and hopefully by then there'll be an ipod adaptor!!

cheers all
Roger

what colour is it?
Do you have any pics?

Roger Harris · 16th October 2006, 08:51

Hi Grey99

Its Silver Blue or Blueish Silver I think they call it.
Strangely no, I don't have any pics. I'll go and take some today and post 'em later. Suffice to say it looks cool!

Oh, and it has had the A Glaze treatment stuff too.

Copycat · 16th October 2006, 09:44

No idea as to what you could get, but seems like lately we've had plenty of new members who haven't even ordered their car yet. Maybe one of them might be interested in buying yours? Grey99 is one of them

Roger Harris · 16th October 2006, 12:56

OK. Here come some pics:

Sorry for asking something offtopic...

Didn't you have the Alpine subwoofer on your Civic?

Did you exchange it to a Pioneer? Is it a TS-WX22A model?

Is Pioneer better than the Alpine?

I was just thinking of installing either the Alpine SWD-1600 or the Pioneer in my Civic, when I get it in January.

generationgav · 16th October 2006, 17:56

Do you have the CD Changer?

Roger Harris · 16th October 2006, 18:14

Iron Soil - No, My mistake, it's the Alpine I have. Not sure where I got Pioneer from?? The Alpine is excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

Generationgav - No, I don't have the CD changer (because I thought I'd be using my iPod when I bought it!

)

WoolyCiv · 16th October 2006, 22:29

Roger, sorry to hear about your change in circumstances. Hope that you get a good price for the Civic and when your circumstances change for the better, I will want to see pictures of the Type R that you will end up getting

Roger Harris · 17th October 2006, 08:01

Hi Brian,

March 2006

Hi WoolyCiv,

Damn right! That will be top of my list for sure.
Thanks

Roger

IWANTACIVIC · 17th October 2006, 09:03

Hi roger one nice car u got there

the blueish looks good in real life never seen one before only seen the colour in the books.

Roger Harris · 17th October 2006, 09:21

and another thing......

I've just remembered: I have the spare tyre option too.

IWANTACIVIC · 17th October 2006, 09:34

good idea im not going to trust the honda gunk as far as i can throw it lol

willisthm · 17th October 2006, 23:12

How about taking my 2005 Seat Leon 1.9 FR TDI 150 Bhp in part exchange plus a few quid.

Like the car - just what am looking for. The spec, colour, alloys etc are perfect.

Gweneira · 17th October 2006, 23:42

My heart goes out to you Roger, that is a stunning car. I almost ordered blueish but went for cosmic in the end. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your future Type R days to come as soon as possible. Good luck.

Roger Harris · 18th October 2006, 09:14

Hi willisthm,

Sorry, not looking for a seat. After scouring exchange and mart I'm thinking that £16000 would be a good price, or £15,999 as they put it. I'll live with being short by a quid! Especially as there's about £2000 of extras on it!
(Oops, my mistake. that should have been 16 not 17 ! I've edited it. Too much time staring at numbers)

cheers
Roger

Hi Sorry to dissapoint you a bit, but the extras can almost be discounted value wise when selling and the price you are asking is a little bit high.

Here is the suggested values from Parkers website for your model with an average of 10,000 miles per year but obviously you may get some one prepared to pay a little more.

Original Price£18,082Franchised Dealer£16,165Independent Dealer£15,555Private Good £14,485Private Poor £12,960Part Exchange£13,725

richierich · 19th October 2006, 15:37

So £15,999 sounds about right then.

Roger Harris · 19th October 2006, 15:46

Well, I'm going to advertise it at £15,999 and see what happens. I think the demand for these fantastic cars might help keep the resale values high, despite what Parkers think.

I know I'd pay 16000 for mine if I had the money!!

Roger
