Hi,

Before anyone starts this is not sales pitch

I am helping my mum sell her car which is:

A 3dr Fiat Punto, Met Blue, Manual.
2000 X reg
FSH- part dealer/part private
37,000miles
1.2 normal spec
1 owner
VGC, T&T

I have kind of accepted an offer for £1700, but looking on AutoTrader some go for upto £3000 from a dealer so I think I have cocked up

I am having real difficulty placing an asking price, an ideas? Should I just part ex for a Golf GT TDI? or buy private?

Cheers

Have you looked at http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vx/finance/valueyourcar.do ?

Cheers for that link, never knew it existed.

The spec is errr..normal, ie: None and the egine size is 1.2.

Aye crumba! That site values it at £1400 ish.
Lost all of around £5500 in five to six years My poor mum.

Thanks for your help.

She should have bought a new Scooby and lost the £5500 a lot faster.

scoobys do lose there value faster but they keep it later in life.

Or another way of looking at it is they dont have anymore value to lose

Thats not as bad as it sounds kammy, depreciation of about £950 a year is actually quite low.

Few small cars would have depreciated significantly less. I suppose buying a Polo or Fabia new in 2000, would probably mean its worth £3.5k-£4k now (but wouldve cost a little more new), but a Fiesta or Clio would probably have lost as much as the Fiat.

Cheers for the support lol. From now on, second hand all the way.

Think of the depreciation on a 996 and that'll put things into perspective
