Books at about £800 retail and 200 trade if its clean (thats assuming thats a 1995 model)  I guess its 95 or earlier as they didnt do a 1.4CL after that, went to L or SE models.  Thats also assuming its the 5 speed.


If its very clean, with those miles you could ask £800, people will pay more as its a 1.4 and every one seems to want the smaller engines at the moment.

If its average £400-600ish  but being an early CL, realisticly the L and SE is nicer, with the later engine,  unless yours is immaculate!  £395 is what i would expect to see for it.

+1. Gumtree and the free ads as well cos its worth such a small amount. Pointless spending a fortune to put it on autotrader tbh. Although if it does go on autotrader, it will probably fetch slightly more.

I was gonna say....it really bugs me when people describe a car as 'immaculate' or 'mint', followed by 'apart from......' :angry:
