Price Help

[riwiho]

Can anyone help me with a price or point me in the direction of a good online price guide for cars?

I am looking at the following car down in Devon and I am trying to establish how much it is worth from a private seller compared to my local dealer.

04 111S
15,000 miles
Factory roof
Dark blue
Great condition all round

No more than 15k private I'd say.

From a dealer they'd easily shift that car for about 16,500 - sometimes a tad more.

Yep agree,

15k Private expect to pay up to 16k from a dealer Year warranty etc

Cheers guys.

I have just spoken with the private seller and it looks like they are been a tad unrealistic (16k) ! Will have to keep looking.

Thanks again

He'll be dropping it down to 14.5 come the Winter go round and see it and if you like it make him a offer

Off to see my first one later this week. Think I have an evening infront of the Elise buyers guide ahead of me.

Any tips or things to look out for on a 111S of this age?

is it me or are some prices on classifieds a bit ...... optomistic?

[MW666]

optimistic and variable - supply has got to be greater than demand now? think a correction in price is due - top down, ie 111r's into well the teens for early ones and so on

Hope so

All prices are optimistic, everyone kite-flies for a bit to see if someone will bite, then you start finding out who really wants to sell. A car is worth what the last buyer paid for it.

My kind of seller...

Fair play, someone might pay close to that, you never know.....

Surely its worth what the next buyer will pay for it

Not if they've a brain between their ears they won't. No suspension mods listed which means it'll be needing at least £600 spent on it in the next year when the LSS starts creaking. Probably a good buy at around £12k.

...at which point they become the last buyer

Couldn't agree more Tim, but that's why I posted the link. Someone probably WILL pay close to that. These cars are like no others, people let their hearts rule their heads. May as well be cheeky and let someone in the know beat you down.....

A long way for me to travel but looks good.

Is it me or is the price high ?
