Not sure a 2007 pre-facelift with over 100k will make £5k. Think there's a white facelift with 100k-ish for £5600 on Autotrader and has been for weeks, and generally facelifts go for at least a grand more than any pre-facelift. I'd budget for a sale price of £4k and anything over that is a bonus. The other thing I'd say is a lot of people are scared of cars with rebuilt engines too (especially freshly rebuilt ones without thousands of miles 'bedding in'), and the T5 unit is pretty robust so almost all other examples for sale will be on original engines.
