Monaro VXR - What's it worth?
Discussion
15k is a fair price for a standard car with that sort of mileage, though tbh if I was looking at a car with that many miles I might be tempted to look at an earlier plate to avoid the 400 quid road tax - at least for another year or so. They were pretty much all built at the same time anyway - later plates just sat in a field a bit longer. As for mileage - 40k means the car is just nicely broken in - LS series engines are reputed to be good for 200k miles.
I suppose theres always going to be a difference between what an owner thinks its worth and what a potential punter is willing to pay. Been there myself many a time !!
I would say the 13K-14K quote is fair considering the mileage which is higher than most cars seen. I know the engine is only just run in and can go on for a lot longer,etc, but all depends on how many miles the new owner is going to do - could be over 80K in a couple of years if the new owner does 20K per year. I personally wouldn't mind a higher mileage car as I only do about 4-5K per year so would appreciate the saving of a couple of grand over a lower milegae one.
Whats this about a slightly earlier one being in a lower tax bracket

You cant get Glass's guide prices for free off the net and they dont give out 3 valuations based on condition that is either borrowing Parkers guide which is free or CAP which shouldnt be free I dont think.
