P/X value of my x-type

[Shnozz]

Cant believe how shockingly quickly my x-type has depreciated and the p/x offer on my car. I've just agreed the purchase of a new daily car but the p/x is so bad I would far rather see the car go to someone for a good price rather than back on a forecourt with a large slice of profit included.

so if anyone is interested in a bargain barge, the advert is here

That's alot of car for the money.

I'll pass this on to a relative but I'm doubtful anything will come of it I'm afraid.

Best of luck!

Why not just keep it and drive it forever? Hardly worth selling it at that price.

I agree. The problem is that my decision to sell was based on the fact I was running an x-type everyday and a Lotus Elise for fine days and holidays. The fine days have been few and far between for a second successive summer, and the holidays are in short supply due to studying (and another 3 years ahead of me of studies) so I found myself driving the x-type 99% of the time. Hence I decided I would sell both and buy myself something more sporty that was more useable than the elise as an everyday car. If I keep the Jag as a daily runner it defeats the purpose

I did suggest that my g/f have it in place of her 206 but she isn't comfortable driving what she deems to be a huge car!

Dont get me wrong, I am gutted to see it go at that money and have a feeling I may regret my decision.

Sold in a day. will be sad to see her go. If I return to 2 cars I'll be shopping for another. Really positive experience of Jags

Have you decided what your next car is going to be?

By the looks of his profile, it seems he's got a boxter

sorry, only just checked back on this thread.

Yep, previous poster is correct. Bought myself a Boxster S as a daily car in place of the Jag. I don't really need 4 seats so decided to try a useable sporty car on a daily basis and looking to add something more extreme than an elise for the weekend
