Jaxpl Posted January 8, 2015 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,
Jay762 Posted January 9, 2015 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
Tlag Posted January 9, 2015 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.
Mr B Posted January 10, 2015 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
Jaxpl Posted January 10, 2015 Author 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
Mr B Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I would try it as it is, then can offer better price & car in genuine bodywork order ...
tom_gr7 Posted January 10, 2015 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
