Valuation of an older car

[mulac]

Evening all, I'm kinda new here but I'm looking to get shot of my 2000 Passat V6 4-MOTION in the next few months. It's now got 150K miles on in but since I bought it 18 months ago it's had oil/filter changes every 6K miles. It's about to get another timing belt change as well. It's got full leather/suede seats front and back, 6 CD changer in the boot, sat nav, HID lights, auto dimming rear mirror, tow bar, 16" wheels.

Brilliant runner, has had the air-con overhauled and recharged, no oil smoke and great fun in the winter! Can someone let me know what I should be asking or where I can find out? I've had a look through Autotrader but I didn't know if those figures were realistic or not.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Calum

Hi Calum, if you can tell me saloon/estate, if any cosmetic or mechanical prep is required and the colour combination I'll have a peek for you.

Hi Dr, it's a saloon and mechanically sound. It was fully serviced by a VW dealer till I got it in July 2008 at 110K miles. It's since had oil/filter changes every 6K miles and is about to undergo a timing belt change.

Cosmetically on the outside it's got some minor stone chips on the bonnet but spotless everywhere else. Sills and arches are sound. Has been undersealed for the past two years. Inside is perfect apart from wear and tear round the gearstick.

Colour is maroon.

Cheers,
Calum

Caps at 800 quid but assuming it's a decent colour I'd ask 1500 privately but be prepared for 1200 or so. Make a feature in an advert of the service history and maintenance. Very few cars of this age/mileage have air con that actually works

Good man, cheers for the help!
