I keep seeing 'what's it worth' threads on here with people giving some really low prices.

I'm looking to change my 2001 bugeye and just wondering the best place to look. I've tried eBay, piston heads and auto trader but prices seem higher than advised?

Are members on here just under valuing our cars or am I missing something?

 

I think people under value them on here mate... Reality is its cheap for a reason.

 

Ye selling mine cheap (hoping for around £1600-£1700) as it needs tidying. Just wanted something a bit better/newer without spending a fortune.

 

Mate that's not selling it...that's giving it away.. I haven't seen bugs that cheep.....maybe I have a conflict of interest being a bug owner lol...Good luck with the sale .....won't hung around at that price :-)

 

It's very cheap and got no rust but loads of scratches and dings. Jumps out of fourth at times and rear brakes need freeing up. With all that considered think it's a fair price. Thanks for the good luck

 

Mica red which I'm sure you'll agree is the best colour lol

 

Hell yeah ! Red is the new blue :-)

 

Agreed love it so much we powdercoated our sti 8 alloys the same lol

 

Sweet.... Has Richs thread been hijacked by red..lol :-)

 

10 year old car, with fvck3d bodywork and a shagged gearbox which returns 24mpg, when petrol will be 1.50 a litre by next summer


and by todays standard average performance

you will be paying someone to take it away before you have to re-tax and re-insure it

 

Ye that's the attitude. Lol.
Thinking of myself a mini cooper instead. Shouldn't let the fact I'm 6ft 5 put me off

 

Best thing to do when selling a car is put it on for what you would consider top buck. Then reduce it until it sells. I have always found autotrader online is best place to sell.

A car (or anything) else is worth what someone is willing to pay.

 

your price seems about right if bodywork is a bit rough and gearbox needs attention. whats the mileage? any mods? history? MOT?
