Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember

Previous: L322 Range Rover TDV8 3.6 2008; L322 Range Rover TD6 3.0 2002; P38A Range Rover V8 1999

looking at autotrader these go for around £17k ... - .- -.

With that sort of mileage I think 17k would be on the low side, if the condition matches the mileage then I'd be asking 19.. '08 Audi S6 Avant 5.2 V10 with Milltek non-resonated. Vrrrrrrmmmmmph
'59 Ford Kuga Diesel (boring but AWD and 40mpg...)
2007 (07) Subaru Forester XTen 2.5 Turbo. (Roundabouts are fun again!)
2007 (07) 4.4 V8 Vogue (gone)

is a trade in price usually lower or higher that the 17-19k you guys reckon car is worth? assuming that the purchase of the new vehicle is say £25k to change?

Trade in price will be significantly lower than what you'll get privately for it.

Here's what Parker's reckon based on 38k (nice low miles TBH) -

I'd take the Parkers numbers with a pinch of salt, but they're a good guide.

To be honest, condition is everything - and getting lucky with a buyer that wants your car.

I was recently offered £18,750 for my 07MY S/C which has 87k on the clock, I think Parkers said it was worth £18k.

But then part ex I was offered £15k!!  Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

thanks for info - i suppose if i advertised privately around 18-18.5k & see what interest

Better to start high and gauge interest if you're in no rush to sell.. '08 Audi S6 Avant 5.2 V10 with Milltek non-resonated. Vrrrrrrmmmmmph

I agree with Ally. Start at £19k ono (maybe even £19.5k if your car's a minter).

There can't be many 06 cars with just 38k on the clock.

Is your car a facelift (terrain response) - I doubt it being Feb 06 - I've seen some late 2006 (56 plate) cars with it.

That might be a challenge for you.

Whilst lots of buyers won't even know about the 07 interior facelift and improvements, those in the know will - and so you'll be overlapping in price with cars with terrain response, electronic handbrake etc - albeit ones with higher miles.

Always better to start high, but make it clear you're open to sensible offers. Good luck with the sale!  Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

Must admit, I like buying cars but hate the hassle of selling.

Will get some photos at the weekend, stip on P/H & here and see what happens

Good luck with the sale, they always go eventually !
Without sounding too negative, 19k for a 55 plate? That sounds a lot of money for a petrol engined car IMO.
Have they taken a jump in price? I thought the petrols were going for less than the diesels because of the economic climate? Or am I getting confused with SC and non SC petrol? Previously..

Well, using Autotrader selling (asking) prices as a guide, it look good value at £19k. Be the cheapest s/c on there with under 40k miles.

Maybe Gary could give you a trade valuation? Graham

The Parkers figures are very close to CAP but the market is crazy at the moment and full CAP is not being acheived. Main Dealers are offering £2-3k less on PX deals.

Worth an initial punt though.
