The way the market is at the moment it's very difficult to put a price on it. Some really good cars are going for silly low money.

Best idea is to have a look at autotrader and see what similar cars are selling for and that will give you an idea. Remember the advertised price is very rarely the final selling price so bear that in mind.

Good luck

Something to the tune of 1500 retail.

You'll scrape £1500 if it's in top condition. Otherwise it's a bad 'o sand I'm sorry to say.

Doh - force of habit there. By 'retail' I meant cosmetics excellent and no work outstanding - as in 'just bought it from a dealer at retail'.

I'd agree at a grand if it needs any work or tidying.

thanks a lot guys, really appreciate the advice!

unfortunately as its a automatic that is going to limit the appeal straight away.

Is it 5door or 3 door? and is it a highline?

It is at the low end of the millage scale for a VR as well, most are hovering around 100k or so mark now. If the bodywork is good an the engine has been kept serviced and you have some proof then id say if you are prepared to be patient you ought to get more like £1500-1700. If you want shot fairly quickly id take anything over £1K

A garage near where i live has a 5dr auto VR with similar spec with 32k on the clocks for £3000 but its been on the forecourt for >6mths now and reduced to £2800 and still doesnt look like its going anywhere soon.

its done 70,000 miles, and the body work is still very good. theres maybe 2 or 3 minor scratches on the paint which have been retouched so its hardly noticable. and its pearl black so looks better than most other VR6's, plus the BBS wheels are refubred so no scratches at all. i paid £5000 for it 5 years ago so i wasnt expecting much, but £2000 would be great so i think i'll start it off at that price and invite offers. what do you guys think?

I think the sticking point will the auto box. However, to the right buyer it may be worth more. Good luck selling her!

If you can afford to wait a little then £2000 is by no means unreasonable. The colour does suggest it is a highline spec as you have the right colour, bbs wheels - does it have heated black leather seats, aircon as well?

all the best with the sale.
