I'm upgrading - any advice on values?

[metroarea]

Hi everyone.

I've had a thoroughly enjoyable year with my 8v and need more so I'm going for a 16v. Anyway obviously I'm getting rid of the 8v so any advice on value? It's J Reg 120,000 on the clock, pretty spotless bodywork, a few normal scratches as you'd expect but nothing noticable. I've never had a probelm with it atall, starts first time everytime, drives perfectly, and has full VW service history, 6 months tax and 6 months MOT. I'm also putting 4 new tyres on it. Its a totally original big bumper model.

I paid £1,100 for her just under a year ago and was hoping I'd be able to get £1000 for her now. Does this sound realistic?

Cheers people

it sounds like a good un to me I'd be expecting a bit more!

If you sell to an enthusiast, you might get that for it. Common folk won't pay that for it though...

You might get 1.5k especially if it had 1 years mot? why not get it tested? I assume it is a 3 door?

you'd get a 1000 for it all day long. stick it in for 1500 and then say the least you'll take is 1250. 

what colour is it?

cheers for the advice. I reckon I'll get it up for £1350 and see what happens; don't want to put people off on the price but it'd be nice to get a bit more for it too!

Sorry Gambit, didnt see the question on colour mate. It's grey - not sure if it's gunmetal grey or some other name but it's grey! And 3 door

easily sellable then, if it was white or even red it might have been harder to sell but the Atlas Grey will sell easy
