how much - serious advice please?

[rick111s]

guys,

due to various reasons i think i'm going to sell the tuscan so require some help please on how much to sell her for. I paid 33k for her late august of last year from dream machines. since then i've only done under 2k miles in her so i would "love" to get as close to 30k as i can get but not sure if this is realistic??

2004 march 04 tuscan.
4 ltr
crystal topaz
nimbus plus prussian
8,200 approx miles
FTVRSH
2 owners (inc. me)
6 months tax
very clean and standard car except for sleeved rear cans. All i've done since ownering the car is to have a leven front badge fitted, clean it and drive her when i can which is not very often.

all it needs is to be driven more.

any serious ideas on cost? i dont want to over price it nor do i want to let it go for less then it's worth.??


thanks in advance.

£28500,or in other words a couple of grand more than a equivalent 350c

I would have to agree with Mike on this. DM would prob have made £2/3000 on the deal, so sold to them in the region of £30,000 I would suspect. Six months older now and with snow forecast possibly not the best time to sell a Tuscan. I would think £28,500 to be a realistic price.

ok thanks. less then i imagined but there you go. that's life potentially selling a car after only a few months..

if its any consolation,im going through the same process at the moment,bought last august now fancy a 350.
so having had a 12k service and four new tyres plus other bits and only covered 2000 miles im selling,and taking quite a hit,but thats life i suppose,nobody's making me do it,in fact my tuscan is now better than ever,i guess im just mad!!

Would've thought 28.5k a price to sell. If your not in a hurry then try for more. I paid 28.4k for mine last June (then same age car) 6500miles. That was serviced but no warranty (other than remaining tvr engine warranty) from a non tvr dealer. By the way is yours an S.? If not then surely should be a 3.6li ?
Should sell ok now its been advertised on Ph Good luck, car looks smashin! D.

no it's not an S but is a 4.0. rare from what i understand on that age. the log book said S but i confirmed the build with TVR and have had the log book changed back..

i'm not really in a hurry nor have i decided to def. sell her. I'm not using the car hardly so if the right money came along (or near to it) then i would let it go..
