Anyone fancy trading a phase 2 VXR for an S2000?
Discussion
Hello all. First time in this section.
As per the title. I'm after one of the 6.0 VXRs' and I currently own a MY04 S2000.
I've liked them since they first came out, but have only just decided to go for one in the past couple of weeks when I realised how little I was using the Honda (I have a Mondeo, too).
The plan is to ditch both cars in favour of one of these beasts, and after having the opportunity of driving one earlier today (over-priced at a dealers), I've decided to turn the plan into action.
I haven't yet put the Honda up for sale but it will be going up very soon, but I thought I'd try a long-shot here first.
Anyone interested?

Perhaps I should have been more specific in my description.
I didn't say, nor was I expecting, a straight-swap.
I'm fully expecting to have to put some cash up, too.
Having said that, there is a VXR for sale on the 'trader for £20k, so your valuation of £23k is perhaps a little out? Age, condition, and mileage dependant, of course.

Some are, some aren't. They're also age, mileage, and condition dependant. Mine also has extras and an extended Honda warranty.But a 6.0 VXR can range from a 54 to an 07? So their prices will vary from £23k more than mine will vary from £18k.
If anyone is interested then that's when we can start talking prices and cash.

I expect it to go in the next week or so, 32k +Wortec&Remap for £22k pics avail. Good luck selling the Honda.
I need to get up to speed with all of the Wortec stuff.I know they do 'chargers and such, but I'm not sure what else they do.
Mine is up for sale now, but there are far more of those for sale than their are VXRs', so I fear your car will be snapped up long before mine is.

Not sure of the chances of someone wanting to trade a monaro for a S2000 but worth a try I suppose!
6.0 VXR prices seem to vary quite a bit, being realistic expect £21k minimum unless its higher miles or a 54 or 05 one crops up for sale.
Is the S2000 a 2004 car? If so I think a valuation of £18,000 is well off the mark even privately. Obviously dont know the mileage, colour, facelift or not or a GT or standard. Other problem winter is just about on us so Cabrio prices are getting hit hard at the minute, even boxsters are dropping about £600 a month on average and their normally rock solid.

There is a 2005 VXR in the classifieds for £19,995 at a Monaro approved Network Q dealer. I'm not saying that's what I expect to pay for whatever car I end up buying, and I've never seen one that cheap before, but the prices clearly do vary.6.0 VXR prices seem to vary quite a bit, being realistic expect £21k minimum unless its higher miles or a 54 or 05 one crops up for sale.

On page one of the classifieds, S2000-4-U, the biggest independent dealer for the mark, has a 2002 car for sale for £16,995, and directly below it, they have a 2003 car for sale for £13,995. So as you can see, the prices vary greatly on these too depending on the details of each specific car. They also have a 2005 car for sale at £20,995.
As for my car; I haven't provided any details about it other than it's model year. Any speculation on it's value is purely that, speculation.
I'll happily go into detail with anyone genuinely interested in doing a deal, which I knew before I posted the thread was a long shot, but I don't see the point of going into detail just for the sake of it.
No offence intended guys, and I hope you don't hold it against me when I join the ranks.
just because a 2002 car is up at a silly price (which it is) doesnt mean it will be sold at that price
you are in a position where you are unable to sell your car fast hence looking to part ex, which would indicate there istn much of a sellers market. Lower your expectations on a trade in/sale price and you will sell a car.
Look at house prices. Juse because a house is up for sale at a given price doesnt mean it will be sold at it. There is no way a 2002 s2000 is ever going to sell at close to 17k, ever, period, fact. I'm sure if you looked you could find an s2000 being sold at 28k and one being sold at 12k
On autotrader there is an 02 S2000 for £7500 (thats what I'd be looking at for such an old car now) at 04s at 13,999 which would say your car is being over valued at 18k

The three prices I posted were ALL FROM THE SAME DEALER (in caps just in case you missed that bit last time). I didn't post them to prove their worth, I posted them to show the huge variation in prices depending on each specific car.stigmundfreud said:

If you'd care to clearly read my posts, my car wasn't even up for sale when I started this thread. I noted that at least two people have contemplated selling their VXR on this section within the last week and thought I'd post a thread on the off-chance of a bite.stigmundfreud said:

We agree on something. I too, think the 2002 model is overpriced.stigmundfreud said:

You quite clearly don't know the market if you expect to pick up a 2002 car for £7,500. Even the very earliest of cars from '99 are still fetching between £8,500 - £10,000. The car you mention is actually up for £7,995, not £7,500, and it is registered as a category C write-off.stigmundfreud said:

At no point on this thread have I ever said at what price I value my car. But, for what it's worth, I was offered £16,500 trade-in for it on Saturday. Now I'm not naive enough to think that is the true trade in value of my car, and I fully appreciate they were using some of the headroom on their car to offer me that price, but it is an indicator of my car's condition.Now this really is my last post, unless someone is interested in a deal.

Guys, think I put £18k up against the S2000 not the chap thats being lambasted. I said it was probably about a £5k difference between the cars, which is probably about right in real terms.
The cheapest 6L VXR sold has been about £20k but that was high mileage and cheap, poss suggesting it wasnt A1. Most will be £21k-£24k depending on if you want a 05 or 07 reg'd car.
Try quickcars as they have my former 6L 2007 VXR for sale at a good price, plus would probably sort you out on your S2000.

If they already sold it then I would try Graham at Picador Vauxhall as he is nice chap and cars are sensibly priced.

Cheers for the link.

Welcome to the forum 
Unless you specifically want a VXR don't write off a facelift (05 onwards) CV8. They are a fair bit cheaper and every bit as fun as the VXR without the fisher price body kit & you can still tune them to over 550bhp.
