Default Am I pricing my car correctly!

Looking at selling my 04 black with gold fleck sti to a friend and i'm wondering if you guys think I'm pricing it right.

It has 42500 miles, full service history, 3 defi gauges in defi pod, inovit 18" alloys, brake teK disks and pads all round, BC coilovers, graham goode exhaust system with sport cat, cosworth panel filter, remap a duncan at race dynamix, spare set of standard alloys with winter tyres and double din sat nav unit with ipod conection.

I'm thinking of selling it for 7500 to my friend am I about right?

Thanks in advance

I should really learn to read!

Similar spec on Ebay with higher miles for £800 less so you're about spot on mate, maybe with a bit of flexibility on it.

if you looking at a reduced price for a freind then id knock another £1000 off that if not then £7500 is prob around the price to put it up for with a view to negotiate

Idd, it would have to be female and special cuddles involved..... for a week


My experience of selling to friends is.... Don't, the car always dies with a serious fault a week later

Agreed, on both counts!

My mate just sold his car to someone he knows after years of owning it and modding it. He knows every nut and bolt, and unfortunately the new owner doesnt, hence the phone ringing every day with questions and problems etc

Anywhere between £7000 and £7500 is spot on buddy.
But as above, be carefull selling to friends or family. I've done it in the past and regretted it.
Just make sure you sell it on the same terms as you would if selling to Joe Bloggs. Make sure they are aware of getting it cheaper because of your relationship but also that it's sold as seen....
Sold my mother in law a car last year, had a call this week because the battery has died. She didn't say it but I knew she was expecting me to foot the bill.... eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr, NO !!

Seems that if you sell a car to a mate/family they think it comes with a free mobile mechanic, and thats you that is!
