GranTurismoEra Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi Zed-ites What price should buyers be paying for a clean example with full history with roughly 70-100,000 miles on the clock, 04/05 2-3 owners i.e This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182018491752?euid=656251a235fb4576a950f5e837b03eb0&cp=1&exe=12792&ext=32581&sojTags=exe=exe,ext=ext Ive seen so many prices and insurance reckons they are valued around 5-6k for most. But people are selling up to £7800 even £8500. Some as low as £5500 depending if its imported etc, What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

Jetpilot Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) All depends on condition and whats been done, i.e recent clutch etc £6k-£7k for a private sale will get you a decent 350 Edited February 14, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmartje Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I got mine with 80k on for £5900. 2004 GT pack and bodywork in mint condition. Clutch did start slipping after 5/6 months and needed replacing. So I'd agree with the above, anything between 6 and 7 for a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 i bought my 53 plate car with 41k on the clocks for £6800, 4 years ago now! sold last year with 70k on the clock for £5500. granted it wasnt cosmetically mint but it was mechanically sound. I'd be haggling hard, theres plenty out there for sale, £6k should be enough to secure a decent one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That one is 6,995 and looks pretty good from the photos. Fuel has got a lot cheaper recently and that is making the used prices a bit stronger, especially for the pre 06 tax hike cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 dont do what i did, £5k for a high miler, 118k, clutch went on the way home. 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyder Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just under £4k for 120k mile '04 plate last September and it's cost me £250 for a wheel bearing so far. No rust on the bodywork either. I got lucky I think! Bet the bugger breaks on the way home tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamdc2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I sold my 2004 GT (UK) last year for around £6,500 I think. 2/3 owners very clean with some nice mods. think it was nearing 60k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygranite Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I paid 4,800 for mine 5 months ago just went through m.o.t only needed suspension arm so all good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My one was what I'd consider the 'top end' price wise (£7k) of the market but was from here, well looked after with FSH + receipts. iirc about 78k miles (now 108k). That was back in Oct 2012 - jeez, a wee while ago ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Miles seem to be the thing that pushes prices up, I struggled to sell mine at what I thought was pretty reasonable money because it had done close to 100K, similarly very low mileage cars attract a premium. If youre saving £2K then I dont see it as a big problem if the clutch goes, it will need replacing eventually anyway. For me an 04 with 100K miles should be around the £5K mark, with 50K probably closer to £6500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Mine was £6900 black gt 05 plate with custom exhaust and 54,000 on the clock everything was near enough perfect and didn't haggle as I new someone else would have took it from him for more. That was 2014 Edited February 16, 2016 by PPod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) dont do what i did, £5k for a high miler, 118k, clutch went on the way home. 2004. you got to be kidding, the least someone can do is get home! I assume most havent had a clutch replacement unless someone had bad luck and was forced to change, did you change the flywheel as well? well my bros alternator died on the way home on the motorway, the guy came to recover us, my old civic battery died a few hours after parking up, had to get it towed and keys reprogrammed, the space civics make that silly computer glitch noise when trying to start Edited February 15, 2016 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an audi i would say 50/50, but being jap, id say if you treat it right it will take care of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 That one is 6,995 and looks pretty good from the photos. Fuel has got a lot cheaper recently and that is making the used prices a bit stronger, especially for the pre 06 tax hike cars. It was a nice example but im going to wait a few weeks closer to when my insurance ends, then i can really look and have enough funds, he wanted to add crazy interest to some tiny finance, wasnt worth it, he said it was owned by an older guy and not thrashed by the younger fellow, tracked, dragged and spun for cheers/whistles on a saturday night ....., ill take his word for it, plus its the last model before the VED hike,, not sure if its enough to keep the car value high, who knows maybe, pre 06 are still very desirable........5000 - 6000 is about right for a nice 04, with sub 90k miles, nice examples go fast, Petrol will go up again im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
