What's it worth?

[ParanoidAndroid]

Hi guys,

Other half is getting a company car soon. As a result I'll need to pick up her BMW Touring as we need to keep an estate car for dog transport duties. As I can use the BMW as an every day car I can't really see the point of also having the XKR, and thoughts have turned to selling it and perhaps picking up something a bit less practical (2 seater) in the spring. This is only an idea at this stage and may change my mind.

I've been looking through the classified and am struggling a bit to determine a value for the XKR. The prices seem to vary wildly between approximately £15k through to £24k for newer models. Mine is a 4.2 2002 XKR with all the options (except Recaro's), full dealer service history and with approx 61k miles on the clock. It also appeared in the evo buyers guide August 2008 (issue 120 and on their webpages).

This is not an advert for the car as a may or may not sell and also don't know when Lucy's company car is going to arrive. Just interested in what people think it's realistically worth and mulling over some ideas.

Cheers,
Graham

As a 'Private Sale' I would have thought the 15K end of the scale

Ummm, think I'll be keeping it if that's the case!

I'm inclined to agree... due to downward pressure on values from newer shape XK, and newer (than 2002) pre-2006 models hogging the £20 bracket.

Sucks to be us.

Good idea, keep enjoying the car


One thought though, I see you are in my neck of the woods take it allong to Racing Green Cars at Ash Vale,
just down the road from you, ask Chas there if they will do a 'Commission Sale' at a minimum price agreed with you.

For good cars they do seen to get the prices for you less an agreed %age

Racing Greens Number is 01252 544888

Thanks Norman, I'll give him a call. Worth a chat, used to get my TVR serviced there.

Chas used to hang around on here quite a bit but I've not seen him hear for ages.

He's more on the TVR front these days......

So Jagman wouldn't be such a good handle then :-)

His desk has been in the TVR area for years.
