Scanning the ads I'd put it up for £22k.

Dont know if it is the best time to sell at the moment - wait two months perhaps? I put my 111R up for £24K (touring and aircon) and had no interest from both the Autotrader and PH though this was in December.

Good luck...

Realistic to shift provate £20750.

I know thats harsh, but the new kseries is a limited market as most folks (yes even Elise buyers) probably won't appreicate the value proposition and just go negative on the rover engine, 156hp and no ABS compared to an R. With that new-ness, you may get better value from a dealer who can sell the value of such a new car.

Sell the hard top seperate - little impact on car's price and an extra £750 ish in your pocket - checkout ebay and PH classifieds.

20k if it's a minter and you're lucky, prepare to get bartered down to 18.5k. Apparently dealers are offering deals on "new" 05 111S's around the 18k mark in some places.

Tim, any more info on this? At £18k for an '05 111s, sounds extremely tempting.

Cheers.

I'm sure I saw a post on SELOC about it yesterday - someone was looking at 05/06 111R's and there was a note about someone getting a deal on a 111s... I'll have a look.

Hi all

Just to touch on new car's they seem to be moving a fair bit of stock at the moment, I'm sure you'd get a cracking deal on a 111s with the new model on it's way.

Spoke to 3 dealer's and they've already hit march's target's, I think this low interest rate and the new model's are starting to catch on

Without a doubt, you could get your hands on a new 111S for less than 20k. That I'm convinced of.

I too would be very intersted Boggy in knowing where you have seen this - 20K for 05 seems to be about right, however if there are cars below this it would be very interesting.

I can't find the post, but I'm sure someone got one an 05 111S for £18,995. Unless I was dreaming badly!

Either way, if you have cash, and you want a deal, sure as night follows day, they are out there to grab!

Cheers guys. I'm looking for a change in the next month-ish so it might be worth my making a few enquiries before the weather picks up...
