Jaxpl Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi guys, Just joined, I'm looking to change my Spec B sports tourer for a newer one. I know they are quite rare now, Had her for 8 years been the best car I have ever had, she has the manual box with a new clutch and exhaust, just sailed another MOT. In black with 1 former owner. Full service history with 123k, sat nav black leather panoramic roof. Subaru roof rack and tow bar, brand new. It's a 2005 model with some unfortunate car park dings around the doors etc, had a quote for £550 to get done. Drives perfect. The prices are up and down and I can't see what they are going for, I'm not looking to be greedy but do you think I will get £3k for her? I think the 3000cc may put people off with the fuel but surely their is some enthusiasts out there. I live in Essex and all the dealers seam to have moved further away, I haven't tried selling her yet just wondered if anyone could give me any advice on where to sell it... I haven't sold cars on eBay or auto trader, is this the place to advertise ? Cheers guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 you might get 3k - all depends if you find the right buyer, as long as you are prepared to wait put up some photos as the legacy members may have a different opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Purely due to the damage you mention, although it sounds about normal for the age, I would guess at between £2700 and £3000. As you say, not many around to get a good feel for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Manual box could be it's star sale advantage but with the mileage & body marks I would say £2,500 but without seeing it hard to be accurate really. the 3litre are not always easy sell hence why see some bargains, tax & fuel puts a lot off ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxpl Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks chaps, Great feed back, maybe a bit more desirable being manual I agree, as well as being the lower tax group as it's older than 2006. Do you think it's worth getting the body work done? Or selling as it is.?... Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would try it as it is, then can offer better price & car in genuine bodywork order ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 i've seen quite at few between 2.5k - 3k. with the high mileage and minor body damage it might bring it down a bit, but as yours has had a new clutch and exhaust it should help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
