V50: Help with selling V50 - how much to sell for?

[EZD]

HI all,

I've decided to sell my V50 but need help with how much to put it up for.

Heres the details
2005 V50 Sport Geartronic , Petrol, auto, 196,000 miles - FSH - Body work in great shape, Grey, Winter pack, pop up Sat Nav, 6 CD changer, keyless entry, cruise control, premium sound system , sun roof and all tyres in reasonable condition. MOT to Oct 2019, new battery, front springs.

Negative side ; Air con not working, on call deactivated.

Drives really well - not rattles or shakes.

Thanks in advance

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.

AC repair at the dealer is circa £650 and a very common fault on the V50/S40/C70 etc... the condensers fail. You could get a cheap Re-gas to get it working long enough to sell it.
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.

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.
