as far far as i can make out you car is worth : new price , £19670
independant dealer : £2285
private sale in good condition £2130
// // // poor condition £1705
and a part exchange £1945
this is only an opinion and you may achieve a higher price than the ones shown .
you also might get a lower price than shown .

My brother has a friend who bought one of those about a month ago, it was the same colour too and it had an asking price of £1500.00, and he managed to get it knocked down to £1000.00. When he told me I was nearly sick as its in beautiful condition.
Area, just outside Edinburgh. Dont know if the area will make a difference.

The age just sneaks into the higher tax band so a few buyers may be put off.

Thought it was March 2001 the tax increase was from?

Come on then which of us is wrong now? All I know is my 99 LWb is the same as my neighbours Peugot and it gauls him

After trudging through loads of adds recently looking for my new fronty. unless you find the right buyer. you wont get over 2k. and i think a realistic price would be 18k, and thats taking the 90k mileage into consideration.

also, with fuel prices high at this time, buyers in the market are genraly looking to down grade to smaller engines, more economical cars.

at the moment, its a buyers market and not a sellers. But you could get the right person come along as i said. but it may take a bit of time, and standing your ground for a month or 2 if you would like to achieve a 2k price.

The new tax bands are only in effect for cars registered after the 1st March 2001. It was not compulsory to measure the necessary figures prior to that date for manufacturers, so whilst most of them did it anyway they do not have anything they can rely on legally.
