Any car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.I know nothing of V50 values,but I'd look on E-bay,Gumtree etc. to see what people are asking/what prices they're reaching on there.Figure out[try to be objective/realistic]what you'd be happy to achieve then add £50-£100 on that to allow "haggling" room.Good luck with your sale.

Thanks - I think I've come to £1,200 because of the high mileage but I have seen others around £1,500 - £2,500 with less mileage = around 70-110K
I didn't think there would be such big differences in asking price. Cheers |

My son sold his 2004 V50 T5 manual, last summer for £1750, 141,000miles. It was in good condition with everything working and recently serviced. He put it on ebay for £1900 on a classified add with best offer and it was sold to the first person to view, within a week of listing it. There were similar spec cars advertised at £2200 and they were still there after a month of being on ebay. My son was keen to sell as he had a new company car so the V50 was just sitting there not being used.

To get an idea of its value try the We Buy Any Car website and slap £500 on top for measure. When I traded my V50 in I used the dealers online car value software using the best condition value parameter and set that as my benchmark and got it. Ok, they were selling me a car but it gives you somewhere to start. TT

The sad fact is it's a 14 year old V50 petrol auto with big miles. Not only is it not worth owt it won't be easy to sell.

P4 is right - there's always a stigma attached to cars with that sort of mileage, whether it's justified or not.
