YHTM Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've been offered £11,000 for my Roadster in part exchange. With the car market all over the place at the moment I am not sure whether that is a good deal for me or not?? What do you think? Also not sure whether the modifications will make it harder to sell privately if I go down that route? An 05 import, 20k miles, K1 exhaust, Volks GTVs, Ings front spoiler, Pioneer flip out SAT NAV, non standard headlights and rear lights and a few other things. plate not included.

sunset350z Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 If i had £11k now i would snap your hands off. Sell it privately you'll get a hell of a lot more for it, and some of the mods look good apart from the tail lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 You will definatley get more privately. I've been offered 9K by 2 places for my car against a R34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the original wheels, exhaust and rear lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'd definitely strip the Volks off before selling, they have gotta fetch over £1k on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Depends how fast you want to sell it. That price is crazy low compared to what you would get privately, the advantage is thats money instantly as opposed to possibly 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHTM Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 no rush to sell- I just want to make sure I don't give it away for a silly price and would be prepared to wait 6 months if it meant I got a good price. But it is the 'good price' I am not really sure of. Looking around that could be anything between a £9k part exchange and ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Suppose it depends if you get a decent price for the car you're looking to px for? +1 on removing the volks and exhaust and seling them seperately. Dealer won't care if alloys are on it, and would probably prefer a stock car anyway. 11k does seem a bit low tho when you compare on Autotrader. . .

stanski Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Look at the glasses guide link that Mike posted up for a price then Knock about £500 off for an import? Mine is still up for sale so it's down to the time of year really was fortunate I got full book for it and the guy knows his fast Nissans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnywas Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 thing you have to ask yourself ,is it worth keeping it longer to get a better price as you watch the market price getting less and less,also its just a zed its nothing special it will never go up in value only go down,sorry for sounding a pain but its true.

If you can afford to hang onto it for a bit longer to get a higher price then yes it is worth it. 350Z Values have gone up in the last few months, the market is starting to pick up.

givememorepower Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 You're looking at £10600 - £11000 for a px at trade at the moment from my extensive car shopping recently. Granted stealers want to pay **** all for my car in a px, but if that's the case, then I also want to pay **** all for the car I'm buying off them, and get that at a ****ing trade price. I could roll up in my car, leave them the keys, and they could roll it straight onto the fore court with no work at all, but stick £4k more on the window than they'd have just paid me for it. I refuse to px mine now due to the substantial loss I'll suffer (approx £1k for every 10k miles), and am waiting on a private sale. Cheaper to keep your car and get a bank loan, rather than take a massive loss and have to pay for the majority of your car twice for someone else to benefit from the depreciation. In my opinion anyway. Good luck either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHTM Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks gmmp, a good summing up!! I'm going to hang on and try to sell it privately then buy a replacement without the complication of px - the more I get out of the px the less I will get off the new car - that's a win win for the dealer and a lose lose for me. Looking at the comments and pricing I reckon doing it that way will have an overall approx gain of £4k (£2k extra for my car and £2k off what I am after). Thanks everyone for helping me make my mind up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good plan - and you have the opportunity to buy an entertaining shed while you search for the new car.

choptop Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 When looking at Part Ex, it's all about the difference between the two cars. Best of luck. By the way, anything over £10k in Part Ex for a car of your age and spec at this time of year on a Roadster, is good going in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
